Bizarre that this is framed as a decline of rather than a change to etiquette.
etiquette, noun: rules governing socially acceptable behavior.
Does anyone really think that there is a recent decline in rules governing socially acceptable behavior? I'm finding the rules to be harder for me to predict than the ones I grew up with, but not at all scarce.

I've lost count of commentators advocating for de-tabooizing more and more issues or topics and taboos are really what etiquette is about. Hyper-individualism has etiquette replaced with individual boundaries.
