The funny thing about this is that older generations have been mourning the end of those things for literally thousands of years. There are surviving letters by ancient Greeks and Romans complaining that society and civilization are being destroyed by the youth and nobody has any respect anymore. And the people who make these complaints now, their parents' generation made the exact same complaints about them destroying these things when they were growing up.

This is true.
In a few decades, it will be the youth of today complaining about their kids.
