No we had kids yelling bits from the jerky boys, adam sandler nonsense, and ceaselessly yelling lines from movies, often times ones they hadn’t even seen, but some line became what we would call a meme today.
I am not saying social media hasn’t had a negative impact on kids, but slop entertainment isn’t the big problem. Also all of the big issues of social media are just one aspect of things that have been moving in this direction for decades now.
