    Is anti-social behaviour like this on the rise, or is it just because of social media that we see it more?

    Anecdotally I notice it more with Gen Z, but maybe thats because they're at the prime age for that sort of behaviour, and I've just forgotten about how bad my generation was at that age.

    Edit: actually having said that, it does feel like it's getting worse for all ages. Maybe a symptom of our crumbling systems?

      Rockstars in the 70s used to trash hotel rooms and cause thousands of dollars in damage. There have always been asshole "influencers"

      I think so. It's not exclusive to young people. Everyone, even some boaters and PMC, are feeling the big pinch neoliberalism is putting them under.
