Gen Xers used to consider 1998-2004 the downfall of pop culture and the cancerous teen pop / nu metal / trl / mike scully simpsons era. People kept saying "1993-1997 was the true 90s" or "That 98-99 pokemon britney nsync crap wasn't true 90s, felt more like proto-2000s".
But nowadays, you have people in their late 20s on Buzzfeed/Twitter saying 1998-2004 was the golden age of pop culture or "the 90sest era ever", and consider anything before 1998 to be outdated/overrated/not interesting for them. A complete reversal in opinions.
I feel like this is only the case in recent times. I mean if you go back to like roman times, the culture of different generations was probably very similar, unlike today where things change drastically every decade. Would be kind of weird to know you grew up exactly how your great grandparents did.

nah, people have been complaining about the "kids these days and their juvenile, unsophisticated culture" since the days of ancient greece.

This Its old and common human, culture(?) behaviour. There are certain points in human life that are turning points. And if the person is egoistic and stubborn he will always hate what he dont understand or respect.
Do you have any source on that because im generally curious.

well this guy posted the quote i was looking for , but i'd say it's just a fact of life. youths always think they know best (they don't) and adults know that kids don't know best. the disconnect mainly comes from adults that have forgotten what it's like to be rebellious, hormonal youth. young people intentionally set out to create cultures and ideas of their own separate from the ones they grew up in.

Somewhere i read an article its a common behaviour that is a common trope, plot device. Its the killing of the father. You can see it in most religions or myth where the parent, mostly the father, is killed. See Zeus and Kronos.

And the enlightened know that everyone is objectively correct on this point. Culture really has been on a permanent downslide for centuries.
Kayden Davis
Yeah, that's how society works.

Then when was the peak of culture?
