It's Millennials and Gen-X. We are the generations to be blamed, not the ones who are kids. Make your kids have family dinner. Do crafts with your kids and get them off their phone. Every kid wants to get attention from their parents. After speaking with many parents, it's obvious that their kids are not the center of their lives. The few kids who have parents that are all in, do not need to resort to a screen because they feel lonely.

However, it is easy to see that not all people can have the necessary wisdom to understand this and, either they embrace pessimistic fatalism or they become totalitarians because they have embraced the idea of the Übermench too much,

Two weeks off from school, Jinglebell rock playing while my mom was baking cookies down stairs with snow falling outside, waking up early and unwrapping my Xbox 360 on Christmas Day. It sounds super generic, but it’s true. Now it just feels like another Tuesday. Everyone off doing their own thing, staying really disconnected and as corny as it may sound, not getting together as friends and family. It’s really depressing. I occasionally get sprinkled moments that remind me of the “good old days” and how much better they were. Individualism comes with pros and cons, and this is a major con for me.

@@YvonneHoerde You say this as if people are just stupid idiots who can't think for themselves and all they need to do is wake up and smell the roses. Observe what is happening and try to figure out why, rather than just judge people for not doing what you think they should do. Why is there an epidemic of depression nowadays? Why are we so alienated and isolated? Why would we rather be alone with our screens rather than be with one another? It's one thing to observe this, it's another to ask why this is the case. Everything has a cause. We humans are very easily addicted to simple pleasures that require no commitment or effort. Thus, the screen addictions. This is a problem though. It's a problem with no easy solution. What are we to do? Abandon all technology? Clearly something has to be done, or something is going to collapse. A breaking point is going to be reached. But addictions aren't so easily overcome. It's one thing to tell people to invite friends and family over and it's another to actually make that kind of thing happen on a large scale. We all have to cooperate with one another or nothing happens. But just like a two party voting system forces people to choose between two candidates they hate, it can't change because everyone thinks that if they don't participate in the two party system then their vote doesn't count. When everyone is on social media, then excluding yourself from that is to exclude yourself from society. There are no easy solutions. Your questions are naive.

While some find joy and fulfillment in traditional gatherings like Christmas, others might connect with different experiences or create new traditions that reflect their personal journey. I believe that each of us has our own path, and it's important to respect that individuality. Community is indeed essential, but how we define and engage with it can vary. Some might find their sense of belonging in traditional settings, while others might discover it elsewhere. It's all about what makes us feel most alive and authentic.

I think financial restraint is a big reason why traditions aren't being upheld the way they used to be. In my family, every year before a birthday or other occasion, there were always heated arguments about how much it would cost to prepare and how much was spent on celebrating after. Ruins the fun.

As an older person ( I just turned 50) I'm grateful I grew up in a time with some amount of tradition. Not all of it was good, but at least it allowed me to have some baseline or grounding from which to work. it allowed me to formulate a personality, have a strong sense of self, also to figure out my version of truth and grow into a cohesive, consistent human being with opinions, personal values that I live by. The feeling I get from younger people is that they are so busy questioning everything, they have a hard time functioning in society. Running from one cause to another, trying to find a reason to exist. If we are trying to build a house and we can't even agree on how to define what a house looks like...is it a cave? Should it be under water? should it be floating in the sky? We will never accomplish the goal. Younger people should look for mentors that are strongly grounded but still forward looking, disciplined and not chaotic and able to to articulate strong values to live by that make sense. Instead they seem to be looking to each other on social media for answers, people who are just as confused and inexperienced as they are.

I’m 16 here and have a few things I want to say. In my opinion, the fall of traditions is resulting from the declining value of family. The way most traditions can go on for generations unchanging is within folk cultures, where people live relatively isolated from each other, often in rural areas, and family roles are emphasized. In contrast, popular culture diffuses extremely quickly and changes rapidly. The internet has resulted in the significant growth of popular culture. If I asked my peers what their life ambitions were, I’m not confident many of them would tell me they simply wish to raise kids in a family. I wouldn’t say that either. I guess right now, I really care a lot about my academic life and online communities which I am a part of. Maybe spending too much time on the internet and studying rather than being with my family are causing family values to disappear. I won’t deny that young people today, myself included, probably spend more time on the internet than is healthy and choose to socialize online more and in person less. For me, it’s easier to find people with the same interests as myself, every game its own forum or discord server full of people wanting to talk to you about the exact same topic that you do. I also find online discussion far easier, but that might be partially the result of my autism. It’s also sad to see how many people my age are the victims of one form of addiction or another, whether it’s a substance, a form of media, or anything else, it’s plainly not healthy and takes away our time and energy. I no doubt have an addiction to videogames and probably academics too, but other people can be addicted to far worse things. These addictions tend to lead people away from caring about their families along with the rest of their lives. So yes, I do think young people today don’t live by the value of family like our parents did. I think it’s hard for us to pick values when we have a hard time justifying them. I find it difficult how so many people are able to hold such strong beliefs in their religions when so much of those beliefs can’t be supported by observation. The idea of simply starting a family and spending most of my life with an office job just isn’t very fulfilling to me. I can’t say for sure what other people live by, but my personal philosophy is that I should do everything to improve the state of our people as a whole as much as possible, as that is all that will remain once I have left this planet. I spend most of my time continuing to educate myself, find entertainment, and supporting the communities which I am passionate about. However, I understand that I am still learning and my values may change as I learn more and develop better thinking and self control.

If it wasn´t for my girlfriend who loves Christmas, I wouldn´t even celebrate them anymore.

Personaly for me, absence of traditional values also comes from the fact that my parents used to be broke when I was born. Their habits were all about saving money and gaining the ones, so all traditions were set back for the sake of surviving. Also we are multicultural family (my father is Kazakh, and mum half Tatar and Mordovian) that lives in a central city were culture is not the case as itself. Most people here are just building their own life not dependent on ancestors, a lot of us just don't have one after all terrible things that happened after the Soviet Union collapsed. So no subjective and objective traditions, adding social media that were the only source of warmth, comfort and hope when I was a kid, formed a strong belief in me that nothing from the past matters if it doesn't benefit the present.

But as these traditions faded, a sense of loneliness has begun to fill the void, and people who have lost their way in the absence of these values are now replacing them with political propaganda and one-minute videos on social media. Now, everyone is lost, and everyone feels deeply lonely. I believe it's time to recreate warmth and a sense of human connection that fits the present era

If a tradition cannot juatify itself, its value, and why it's worth your time in the current age then it's not worth practicing.

The answer is to march forward, not retreating to the comfort of your mother's womb like some lost child.

I haven't watched the whole video yet but lemme say this: Traditions were originally meant to preserve the social order, putting pressure into individuals to achieve what is "expected by society", governments also purposely shaped the "culture" to achieve this. Basically traditions bullied people into following societal norms(check Japan's or South Korea social crisis nowadays for reference of how bad that is nowadays). Nowadays is way harder to lie to everyone thanks to the internet. Plus the propaganda around recovering the traditions and religions lays around the promise of bringing back the "good old days", the problem isn't indivualism or liberalism, the problem is this corporative capitalism wich keeps most people miserable and some of them slaves of their debts, living paycheck to paycheck with no foreseeable improvement, the problem isn't a crisis of faith or tradition, the problem is a crisis of hope

If thinking about the subject in the narrow sense then the answer is simple. Today's kids can and do opt out of traditional activities while previous generations couldn't. When I was a kid and there was a holiday I couldn't opt out. There was no internet and choise of media to consume except books. I had TV but all available channels had content related to it. I could play single player video games on the PC (often unrealistic 2D ones) but that was equivalent to playing alone with toys and I had to participate in activities, there was nothing more interesting to do anyway. Today's kids (and Zoomers in general) can select what media they see or disappear into the virtual worlds of MMO games or other multiplayer activities. Everyone in gen Z had fast internet access (one that allowed video streaming) before the age of 10, I had such access at the age of 23.

Probably tech has made society more isolated as a whole. Holiday traditions are communal by nature, their inherent meaning and value is sustained by a type of communal spirit that seems to be changing., much like Christmas carolers really aren't a thing anymore; whereas in previous eras, it was probably just a given during the holidays: something that people did due to tradition. May Day festivals were once popular in America as well, but has long since faded away. I think humans will always have traditions, it'll just change forms as time marches on.

But unfortunately some people have decided that the only way forward is to destroy everything and start from scratch so we now have Accelerationism which is set to run the world down to the gorund so we can start from square one.

I don’t think my generation hates tradition as many still try. The main issue is that we’ve been raised in an environment where what you do for work defines how worthwhile you are. If you aren’t being “productive” you’re being lazy. That doesn’t leave much mental energy to maintain friend groups and traditions. I know most people my age enjoy the traditions we participated in as kids but with little time, money being tight, and a severe lack of places to really meet people outside of school or work, most end up without a core group to spend time with/participate in traditions with. My group does Easter egg hunts, game/movie nights, a Friendsgiving, and a huge white elephant every year. When new people join the group it’s always something they comment loving about it. My generation wants community and does like traditions but the modern environment doesn’t nurture that.

I had to laugh because as someone who grew up the 80s the Pillsbury tube cookies were anathema to tradition. Cause, you always had a ton home baked cookies and pies at home. Everybody had a mix of traditional recipes and a few new things every year. It was making the cookies.. not eating them. There has been more mono-cultural since the late 90s and it started before everybody was on social media. It started with Clear Channel owning the air waves and cable dominating the television dial. As with the Pillsbury tube cookies so much of our culture was turned into these easy to use consumerist commodities. Our holidays are turned into sales events Christmas is essentially bookends for the biggest consumerist events of the year. It's no wonder Zoomer feels like they can't afford tradition.They've never learned how to experience tradition without buying it at the store

I'll add this. So another thing I will say as a Gen-X and this probably affected Millennials a lot more, is that tradition was often weaponized against progress, in particular progress in LGBT acceptance. There was often pressure to conform for the benefit of a stubbornly old-fashioned matriarch or patriarch. I think you'll find a lot of people from my generation and the one that follow very begrudgingly participated until they didn't have to.

Modernity is flawed but not as flawed as pre-modernity. The promises modernity brought are still achievable and true, it's just people get in he way of that. I believe technology can further humanity towards stronger peace and community but instead of mankind using tech to create more free time to bond with loved ones while having a balance of work... We use tech to replace workers making the future uncertain for the replaced and forgotten and we use tech and inventions to further what causes humans to suffer. It's like capitalism, despite what leftist and right wingers feel about capitalism... it can be used to further human rights and well being and we've seen that in the past but all though a almost perfect system, it's still flawed and we can see it's flaws in American capitalism which is highly individualized and exploitative. A good decent system being used for evil and corruption. Post modernism is pretty much pre-modernity but buffed. It's virus that has slowly been adapting. Not to say it's all bad but I'm not worried because humanity always finds a way to be better. I believe in humanity at the end of the day.

In order to retain that culture, you have to produce a family of your own with which to continue those traditions. If you want stability and traditions, get married and have kids.

Personally, as one myself. Some reasons why I'm not as interested with stuff like this is also because sometimes, online environments, ESPECIALLY in video games, just happen to be something I want to do instead. I obviously still find culture- culture, traditions, all things similar, interesting topics and events to do. But, usually I cut down on some stuff like that to stuff like... - personal interests to cultures generally - learning the history of cultures and how I wouldn't be interested in cultures that may have you lack interest to contribute to it. And at the bare minimum, finding fulfillment in classes of cultures, and religions, things alike. Like look, you won't like it if you were on the unlucky side. But, if I'm not able to even play a role in some way to the bare minimum for even fulfillment of being apart of it, there's not much to stay for. - and simply because with online fantasies and gaming worlds, I just happen to find way more entertainment with fictional entertainment. Things that just happen to be WAY more cooler and interactive, really. Like look, I'm speaking the best I can and I'm not insane, but like, some online fantasy worlds that could be harsh. or the other way around with their religions, just happen to be WAY better honestly.They're just religions that just sound, way cooler. I don't believe in religions in video games (lol). But, you know, they can be fun to be apart of in a video game, to be honest. I find fulfillment, not emotions that I may not like. It's the fulfillment for me. - and when comparing some real world religions with fictional ones or new, old, modern ones; sometimes, fictional ones online just happen to be, just more intriguing to me; something I would rather do instead because I find it to be better to be doing. Religions that are in gaming worlds in their stories are cooler sometimes, honestly. I don't believe them, but as a source of entertainment and ideas, it's quite fun.

Great videos Cole! I just found your channel recently and am binging them. For the thing about a sense of community dying, I'd just like to point out a lesser known reason for that. Car dependency. Especially in the US and Canada. My parents (GenX) tell me (GenZ) about how they used to walk and ride their bikes everywhere when they were young. They'd be neighbors with their friends, and live close enough to activities like the swimming pool or the park to walk or ride a bike there. Then they'd spend like 50 cents to get into the pool or play at the arcade or roller rink or whatever. Car dependency has gotten worse and worse here as time has gone on, and third places have disappeared. There are barely any roller rinks or arcades anymore, and security will kick you out if you try to hang with your friends at the mall, because you're "loitering." And even if I wanted to, non-residential areas are too far away to get to without a car, and there is no bike or public transportation infrastructure. Everything is built for cars, and against pedestrians. If you want to learn more about that, I recommend the channel NotJustBikes. And for learning about third places, I recommend Andrewism's video about third places. Third places are basically cheap, easily accessible places for community to thrive. They used to be more common, like arcades and roller rinks, but they are few and far between now. They're not accessible because you have to drive everywhere (which btw is also dangerous, ableist, and discriminatory towards the poor) because everything's so sprawled out, and they're definitely not cheap. Third places allow for interaction between people of differing economic classes and ideals. They'd connect, compare and contrast, and learn. Even organize protests and rebellions, and come up with new ideas. We don't get as many opportunities for that now. I think the lack of community IS from the things you said, but also from the potent combination of Capitalism, car dependency, and racist zoning laws. Car manufacturers lobbied for more car dependent infrastructure so they could sell more cars to make more money. Just look up black and white pictures of how US streets used to look, you will be shocked! People walking, riding bikes, driving cars, AND taking trams, all on the street! It was glorious, and the Netherlands has pretty much perfected this by having all those options, just in separate lanes. You wanna know why there are so many white people in suburbs? Because decades ago, white people flocked to the edges of cities to get away from people of color. Then they created zoning laws that made it harder for any other people to live there. "Gated communities" and such. It exasturbated the car dependency problem by putting people's living spaces far away from the places they did everything else, like the doctor, shops, and offices. Community thrives in places where these things are closer together and mixed together. Plus, other laws also eliminated even MORE practical and affordable options by making small apartment buildings basically illegal. That's why you'll see these pictures of big American cities, where it goes from rows upon rows of identical single family houses, to sky scrapers and everything else. It's ridiculous design, and it kills a sense of community. Just wanted to point that out. There's a lot to cover with Urbanism. I feel like a lot of the time people blame it all on "social media BAD," and don't mention the STRUCTURAL obstacles that are so normalized. Cars are freaking dangerous guys, come on. No way I should have to risk my life to go to the freakin grocery store. Pedestrian centered infrastructure is so much better! There's something for everyone, and you don't have to worry about getting hit by a car all the time. Pedestrian centered spaces are also more aesthetically pleasing, and have more third places. You feel less stressed in that kind of environment, which puts you in a more friendly, chill, conversational mood. The fresh air, moving your body, the sights, the practicality... it makes you feel good.

So we got turned into a clone of gen x at large because we were primed to reject the fallacy of appealing to tradition. .

I don’t blame Gen Z so much as their parents, Gen X. Talk to public school teachers who have to teach Gen Z. A common theme is Gen X wanted kids without wanting to be parents. Gen X is the generation who treated shared traditions as a box to be checked at best or who ignored tradition completely. Im considered an “Xennial” born in 1985. I spent much of my youth with younger Gen X and never really felt like I had anything in common with the younger Pokemon and Harry Potter fan Millennials. That being said my family and I attend an Eastern Orthodox Church. I’m amazed at how many Gen Z youth attend our parish on their own accord without their parents. While evangelicals are spending massive amounts of money and brainstorming sessions on how to draw in Gen Z, the Orthodox Church doesn’t really do that kind of outreach and yet Gen Z people are flooding our parish (a good thing imo). I think Gen Z are looking for tradition, a strong tradition which they were never given.
