Could be all sorts of reasons:
- Fewer people are going to movies, so the people which are left hold different preferences
- Changing demographics
- potentially just a youth culture thing. I don't know what young people are up to these days, but _more_ phone use in inappropriate situations certainly doesn't sound surprising
- rightbyte 3y agoIt might be a self enforcing feedback loop. If people that are annoying think annoying behavoiur is OK to a greater extent (watch phones, talk to the screen or others etc), as the audience get more annoying, they are not driven away to the same degree and the problem gets worse.
- WeylandYutani 3y agoYoung people have always been loud and disruptive. I think it has something to do with their brain development. And put 20 of them together in a enclosed venue and there's chaos.
- Nextgrid 3y agoThe difference is that back in the day, harmful/disruptive behavior was merely "fun", where as nowadays it's actually profitable thanks to social media. Back in the day people would grow out of it, now they have no incentive to if they actually gain money (from ads) or notoriety from doing it.
- rightbyte 3y agoI has gotten way worse since I was a kid or 20s. And don't quote Aristoteles on me. I wouldn't even say kids are the problem. Rather some self-identified low class culture.
- catchnear4321 3y agoyouth culture is shifting a bit due to how early many kids get their first screen, or cellular modem. “acting out” is age “appropriate” and is nothing new, but social media has caused a form of escalation. where once you might have heard rumors of that brash young man that did the wild thing a few towns over, and happened to survive, now there are “celebrities” that have built entire careers off of their initial public stupidity, and droves of youths eager to follow in their footsteps. because it might be lucrative, or at least cool.
