I gotta say, being a kid 2010-2017 (I was what like 5-12 years old?) seems odd… technology was still a part of our lives, yet we still did things the old fashioned way. We still went outside, we still read books, we still used paper to do stuff, we still had to WRITE! Now, it doesn’t even feel like the same world, it feels like it changed to a completely different decade… so this must be how our grandparents felt lol. Edit: Now that I think about it… all the stuff in the media about “kids being obsessed with their phones” from that time? That’s EXACTLY what is happening now! They were a whole decade too early!

[@Krispykreme15]

[@galaxiiprotogen]

[@POW-du3st]

Exactly how it was dude

[@tristysstuff6664]

Which is how it should be tbh. A mix of the old and the new. But in recent times parents don't wanna parent and just want to slap lil Timmy in front of the new electronic and call it a day. I fully blame the parents for the struggles Gen alpha is going through, they just don't want to do their job and want an easy excuse for why their child is suddenly not developing healthily. It's possible to balance the two the childhoods of our generation clearly shows that but parents don't want to bother and expect the internet to do everything for them. "iPad kids" wouldn't exist or be so socially stunted if the parents didn't buy literal toddlers iPads in the first place

Tbf, every older gen has said this about kids. From uranium in toy kits, to rock pets, to annoying orange and fred, to skibidi toilet.

I'm actually glad that my family wasn't in the best financial state when growing up. I had the older consoles when I was growing up like the Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1, along with some other random plug n' play devices that were most definitely illegal. The further back in time you go, the more difficult the games were, being both by design, and by limitations. So games like Blaster Master, Tomb Raider, Blasto, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic The Hedgehog, ports of old Atari games to the PlayStation, and whatnot would kick my ass, but it was always part of the fun. Probably helped to form my drive to improve, and succeed in life. Still got to complete Blasto.

[@tristysstuff6664]

4:31 the difference between gen Z brainrot and gen alpha brainrot is that one was actually from people just trying to have fun with other people/ to make em laugh. Nowadays, kids content is primarily centered around money money money money and abusing sound effects, bright ans flashing colors, etc to keep children's attention as long as possible to squeeze out some cash. The reason no one is making fun of the MLG stuff is because it was tongue in cheek, it literally stands for "major league gamer" everyone was in on the joke and trying to have fun. Now we're comparing that to brainrot rn which is centered around soaking children for money: it has none of the soul the MLG stuff has. This is because this is back when KZbin was seen as YOU-tube and not just a means for getting rich quick

[@jojoojoratti123]

Just like the massive overblow that was the SFM Garry's Mod content with FNAF and it's "innocent looking" characters, in the 2010-2015s there were creators making it for fun and for others to entertain. Yep that was, until some realized they could make it more "profitable" for them, which indeed it was profitable, but at the very risk that someone so ill willed could "borrow" those concepts and deforming it into an inappropriate greedy edgy content generator that became instantly viral, and kids, i repeat, KIDS were witnessing all of this weird gruesome dark era at the expense of it's quality and/or integrity.

[@Boxgang24]

While stuff like lankybox and other stuff is definitely soulless, I don't feel like skibidi toilet is entirely made for money, if it really was just trying to squeeze a profit off of drooling iPad kids, I don't think DaFuqBoom would put this much effort into some of his episodes. I mean take a look at some of his most recent skibidi toilet episodes, whether you like it or not you can tell it's not made entirely for profit.

[@OreVYuss]

that's cap. people still use gen alpha slang as a genuine attempt to make people laugh and not just to get a quick buck of the stupid kids; there are plenty of memes that use 'brainrot' language for the sake of ironic humor, just like with the mlg memes from back then. and also, for the longest time people have been latching onto trends not to entertain kids, but to get money out of them (e.g. the emoji movie).

The next generation read a lot and the previous one thought they should play outside more. So we really don’t know. The only valid concern is the attention and the learning abilities

[@Glindobo]

yeah, unrestricted acess to internet is the most important problem i think, all the stuff ive watched on internet since i was a toddler kinda destroyed me mentally, im now a highschooler and im already brainrotted and cooked with a shit ton of addictions and mental issues, parents should really watch what their kids are doing on the internet, most of them doesn't know the real consequences of letting their kids alone on the internet

As a person who got a DS late in teen years, shit feels good

i was born in 2010. i just wanna assure to my gen z people that not every gen alpha is brainrotted or exposed to adult content making them act inappropriately. theres still kids out there that play with toys and stuff just like me and you. but also i used to have a tablet like some gen alphas have. there wasnt skibidi toilet or cocomelon cuz that never existed at the time but i used to play apps like elmo luvs abcs. that makes me an og ipad kid. i don’t mean “ipad kid” as in a kid whos obsessed with an ipad just as in a normal kid generally owning one.

I grew up with old KZbin and the amazing works of gumball. And your background has changed! And childhood for today now has changed for the worse.

A kid should not have been watching that. What you are experiencing sir, is nostalgia

"back in my day" ahh vid

[@thetacticalguy62]

@@111paolo2 To be fair, every older generation from silent to generation Z has said the same thing about kids, from uranium toy kits, annoying orange and skibidi toilet, all of this is the same. Like how captain price said. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” With annoying orange and skibidi toilet, gen Z wasn’t clear of brain rot either, yet you turned out relatively fine. It’s a cycle with each generation, and now gen Z is starting to become like their grandparents, stating the all too known “back in my day..”. And yeah, there are some things from gen-Z that are undeniably better than gen Z counterparts. And if you say “Ian reading allat” then you are just a hypocrite..

@@thetacticalguy62 I read for fun I am read din allat, I know it's just that weird time in your life when you stop being a kid and become a "adult" I'm 26 and some guys and girls I saw stumbling drunk, posing themselves, are now getting married, starting businesses, and some are still stumbling drunk, there's no real time you become and adult, you just live

At this point, I think it's not just the nostalgia goggles blinding people when they say that things were better back then. There was still violence, traumatic moments, war, etc, but at least toddlers were actually playing with normal toys and not a goddamn iPad.

[@deelexic]

Sad he didn’t mention PBS when talking about shows kids watched coming home lol I was banned from watching SpongeBob bec my parents thought it would make me dumb😭

[@chelsthegameruiner8669]

My favorite memory from childhood was visiting my great grandparents in the early 2000s and watching Jaws with them. I still watch that movie even at my current age (24) because its so damn good to watch. Most movies I can't rewatch but Jaws and Jaws 2 are movies I find fun to rewatch
