I think that's true for the current generation, so many adults I know don't appear to have any hobbies (creative or otherwise) whatsoever and spend every second of their free time consuming and not creating, not even consuming good content but crappy reality shows. I do more than most people I know (less than I'd like and mostly coding stuff) but I still come up way short of my perception of my fathers generation, of an evening I could generally find them hacking away at something out in the shed.
- Kye 7y agoIs that really new? Most adults I knew growing up didn't have hobbies. They sat around watching TV. Maybe people who see a decline had exceptional role models and weren't aware of how things were for other people. I got into all kinds of creative hobbies because everyone around me was so boring. We were always the exception. It's been true through human history. The weirdos who go out and build a plane or a car or start a movement were always mocked and pathologized before they were venerated.
