Just my observation that adults are regressing into child like behaviour as each generation takes over. Less people taking responsibility for themselves, more people hiding from the world through escapism and a general irreverence for history and tradition. I might be wrong but it keeps bubbling up.

You're not alone; I definitely see this pattern and it's quite frightening. It's not just juvenile, which has existed for a while, it's infantile. And that's new and it's worrisome.

What would you like to happen? That people stop doing things they feel enjoyable in order to achieve a requisite level of gravitas that would satisfy your aesthetic sense about how society should present itself?
