Usually, people whom say "Kids these days" are often lack cultural memory.
Most people have no real perspective of time. They think their current age number Is their entire existence.
They act like they were born 25-30.
They view their past and future selves as alternate realities.
And I blame age segregation in Western society.
Generation gaps used to be 20 years.
Now, they become five years.
Whenever you talk about the future, the general impression is apocalypse.
And it's mostly out of selfish projection from aging.
People think that just because they're getting older that the world is dying at the same speed.
Nobody takes into account that the earth has physically existed for a few billion years and human history is a few dozen thousand years long, filled with the same social cycles.
Hell, when adults think about the past, they only care about their heyday. They don't know nor care about pop culture before their birth, in their parents' or grandparents' youths.
