Reasons Why Today Is Worse Than the Old Days

The Top Ten
1 Music

Actually most of the music in these days are dumb as hell. Sometime you can't even understand what the rappers are saying, like have you heard lifestyle? And they only be talking about drugs, sex, being rich. They also be faking. Seriously... Most of them like Justin Bieber, Mikey Cyrus, Nicki minaj etc be talking about sex, drugs, rich, partying, hoes or whatever. Most of them songs be dumb as hell. Like stupid hoe...

I use to believe this, being musically stuck in the 1940s-70s, especially the '60s. But there is a lot of good "alternative" music out there, not to mention bands like Coldplay and Green Day.

Agreed with the first comment. We had Aerosmith; Michael Jackson, Madonna (her earlier music), Tears for Fears, etc.

I think the reason for this is because, people nowadays believe that they either have everything, or have nothing. Those who believe that they have everything flex, brag, underestimate and undermine people who they think aren't any better than them. Those who believe they have nothing are always envious, angry and take away anything they can, whether it be a material thing or maybe something that isn't ( like a reputation maybe).But the vast majority of people who are in between these two unstable pillars can be just as bad, usually supporting those who fall unto the two previously mentioned categories, and by being inconsiderate, rude, stupid, greedy, spoiled, disobedient, unmotivated, careless, attention-seeking, and being geniunely not the best people around. I feel bad for the youth and myself (considering that I am a person who could fit in this day and age as a youngster), I don't know what it had felt like to grow up in a much simpler and forgiving time, but I really wish I ...more

Life is far too fast nowadays. People seem to be more aggressive and selfish than they were years ago. I don't expect the younger members of this site to agree with me because they were born into it and they're growing up in this ever-growing, uncaring society and are unable to compare today with yesteryear. It's so sad how bad things are getting and it's mainly due to lack of discipline in homes and schools. I dread to think of how the world will be in fifty years.

We be having dumb, skany people like Justing Bieber, Mikey Cyrus, Nicki minaj, Kim kardashian or whatever. And some famous people like Kim kardashian doesn't even have talents. So I don't know why people love them so much.

People back then were worse! We had to deal with racism, sexism, and smoking!

3 Terrorism

I hate terrorism! And damn that pic!

4 TV Shows

Oh yay your gonna judge all modern T.V. shows based on what's on MTV and TLC well then let me introduce you to breaking bad and game of thrones and if your to young for those I would recommend adventure time and regular show.

Now, there is tons of good live action shows like Teen Wolf and Once Upon A Time. But how about cartoons? Most of them are retarded, not because I grew up but because they are worse now.

Now, you can watch TV shows whenever and wherever.
Then, you had to wait for it to air and watching it on the go requires a Sega Game Gear with a satellite adapter.

Go back to the 90's, or even the 2000's, and not every show sucked. Nowadays, it's hard to find something good.

5 Bias
6 Movies

It's more the magic of how limited they were and how little they could use back then compared to now.
I'm not saying the movies in the modern era are bad because there are a good number of good and great and the best but fact is times are simpler now!

Movie franchises like shrek are terrible.

There's a few good ones

7 More Studies
8 Prices

Surely, this is the biggest one. If I lived fifty years ago, the money I spend on school lunch may have got me a T.V..

In the 50s gum only cost 5 cents which is very reasonable. Now gum costs a whole dollar.

True. But at the same time things back then weren't as technologically advanced

Trust me, gas is NOT cheap.

9 Politicians
10 Celebrities
The Contenders
11 Video Game Consoles

Um how? The switch is way more advanced than the SNES and NES were

12 Cartoons

I hate todays cartoons. Stupid shows like Adventure Time and Gravity Falls.

Cancel teen titans go and cartoon network maybe better.

13 Dumber People
14 School Shootings

The generation that encounters school shootings are mostly "Gen Alpha".

15 Cars

The old sports cars were just plain awesome. Now we have crappy designs like the Nissan Juke

16 Bosses
17 Less Reading
18 Conspiracy Theorists
19 Moral Decay
20 Online-Only Video Games

What happened to the old days where you didn't need internet to play video games?! This is all fortnite's fault! >:(

21 Addiction to Cell Phones
22 YouTube Challenges

I don't understand why people would want to risk their own lives just because they want views on YouTube. Views and popularity is nowhere as important as your own life.

23 Butt Scratching
24 Online Theft

With sites like Patreon. The Internet has been a horrible place for content creators.

25 Racism

Again, it goes both ways. And anyone of any race can be racist towards others.
