    While I appreciate your sentiment, the math doesn’t follow in the last sentence: 90s’ older generation is not the same as 20s’ older generation, and the latter is not “correcting” to said 90s’ target results. I feel that what you’re trying to land on is the seemingly exponential change to modern society since the 90s advent of various social/comms tech, though. 🙇🏼‍♂️

      I’m a parent of kids born in the 10s, I was born in the 90s. Kids are still being diagnosed with adhd often as young as three. Its plenty of my peers my age that push this stuff too.

      Generations are inheriting what they think “normal” should be from the generation before them, and they from the generation before them.

      Its definitely not a hard rule. I’d expect people on lemmy to be more likely to be independent thinkers anyways.

        Yes, and the point is that each successive generation has a slightly different era of parents that influence their own parenting, etc. —for better or worse.
