Even those debates aren't remotely the same. Just because some people are idiots and create a scare due to irrational beliefs they have been indoctrinated with, doesn't mean that there aren't actually things to be scared of for good reasons. Rock and roll was mostly deviating from the mainstream and going against some religiously motivated moral ideas, which is an idiotic reason to be afraid of something. TV absolutely did and still does rot people's brains, so to speak, because that is actually the goal of some of the actors behind it, and similarly for the antisocial networks of today.
