THe article is mashing large socio-economic factors together to draw a false conclusion In the 90s, it was _the done thing_ to go out, get drunk and fuck someone. It was the cultural expectation. I felt pressure to do it, and was deeply troubled at my inability to persuade people to fuck me. none of that was deviant Violent crime dropping across the board is a good thing. The drop in northern ireland's antisocial behaavior is a Feature not a bug. Up until 2000 there was an active civil war, and youth violence was a pathway used by both unionists and republicans to recruit, train and execute the on going war. youth violence dropping is a fucking brilliant thing. The points later on about sameness is also not surprising. Most people do not like sticking out. For example in the 1950s it would take a _very_ special person to build a japanese style interior in their house. The same for japan, you're not going to see loads of english parlours either. But culture is global now, which means we all vaguely conform to global standards. Why? because we all see much more of the globe than our parents or grandparents. But the _key_ point is that the complaints aren't new. This is just nostalgia with graphs.
