Older people have almost always despaired of the younger generation in one way or another. Now that internet culture has amplified everything to do with generational differences, though, things seem to have been taken to another level. First, the millennials got all the judgment for being obsessed with what happened on their phones (never mind the fact that Gen X and Boomers came to be even worse than them in this matter). Then Gen Z promised to be the first fully 'digital native' generation, and we got to see the effects of being raised on brainrot in real time. Now, Gen Alpha is an amplification of that.
We were all just kids once, and no doubt about it, everybody has acted kind of stupid in their time because of their age and lack of experience. However, it is important to show a willingness to learn and grow out of that. While this always comes more easily to some people than others, some are getting worried that the latest generations of teens and young adults are not interested in going in that direction. There is a difference between being inexperienced and just being totally inept.
