That is a 100% correct

Well, I'm one (I grew up with cassette tapes). So.... who are the other two here?

I found my dad's old Gameboy today. Sad thing is it doesn't work, but his gamestar does

Romantic music then: Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Romantic music now: Yummy yummy yummy yummy (no offense, I just wanted to rickroll)

they did what they wanted around the world and created so the terrorists----

Remember when: What other people might think of us controlled our lives.

Ah yes, because every young person is eating tide pods these days, definitely not just a small number of stupid people

I can't think of any bad Queen songs myself 🤔

Breaking news: teens of EVERY generation (yes, it’s true. Some generations worse than others) break the rules, do drugs, drink, cheat, push boundaries, swear, screw, steal, lie etc. You all did at least one of those things, and probably knew someone that did it all. That’s just what teens do, test waters, figuring c**p out, rebelling. It’s just a fact. The only thing that really matters is getting past it all and coming out the other end a sane, healthy, law abiding, loving, kind, well adjusted adult. THATS what’s worth bragging about and being proud of.

I'm kind of wondering if your grandpa was really your grandpa.

I like to think I can buy my own flowers AND get rid of earl.

Don't knock Freddie. That man was a genius!

Boomers were the generation before the Breakfast Club. They didn't get the message then either. S

Looney toons is amazing but don’t knock gravity falls please, or the amazing world of gum all for that matter

Cartoons then: mostly slapstick or mindless action. Cartoons now: mostly actually immersive plots diluted with slapstick and mindless action.

The cartoons in the top picture span many, many decades, so it's hardly fair to compare them to 'now'.

Accurate representation of how the art styles aren’t as unique nowadays.

Invader Zim and the angry beavers were my faves. Although you can't go past old school looney tunes!

Although the face shapes are similar, all of the animation styles are very distinct

No, they have just picked specific images that fit this criteria, you can easily find minimalist cartoons "then" and more wackily overdrawn cartoons "now". This would be more convincing if they showed the same characters, like Bugs and Daffy, in their then and now counterparts. Also - Simpsons is both then and now.

Seriously. 4 examples out of dozens and dozens of cartoons. Love Gravity Falls. And Steven Universe

Why are you hating on my childhood! I love Gravity falls and gumball!

Steven Universe is awesome. How dare you.

They should have watched gravity falls before putting dipper in here. The "old cartoons" don't even come close to the maggot faces

Dipper and gumball look off

Every cartoon in this picture is wonderful…and also the amazing world of gum all has like a million different art styles so…

they used 4 examples

I loved Ren & Stimpy!! LOL

Two words. Hazbin. Hotel. Absolute masterpiece

Hey don't knock on Steven Universe!

Steven!

Fun thing, the bottom image was made by someone for this point. The characters are way off model!

Ahhh, the old days of cartoon violence where Tom & Jerry were permitted to be showing committing self-end on a railway track..

Cartoons went the same way as rap and pop music. It's cheaper to produce these images with less detail. Same as its cheaper to have one crappy rapper over a musically talented group of 5 people.

I think the biggest difference between animation back in the 70's & 80's and now is the tremendous amount of time, energy and skill required to produce a 20 minute cartoon. It was all done by hand using cells whereas the vast majority of modern animation is primarily produced using computers.

Anime?

This is the way it's gone throughout history.

The funny thing is, I seem to still be using these untensils now....

ok, they also looked the same, but they were much cooler still

Pencil?

A relief that you don't want to talk to us

Ok I'm going to sound old af. The problem is with over stimulation and not given a chance to be bored. Always being connected always being fed content constantly. I love games content and the Internet but everything in moderation. Let's you appreciate different things more

Same c**p different decade. Only difference is that without the internet there was a lot more ignorance around issues. You didn't know you were living next to a sex offender and that there was a serial killer two towns over.

Aren't they the Charles Manson cultists that killed Sharon Tate and others in the Helta Skelta rampages through Beverley Hills?

April fools don't work anymore because reality is often more absurd than any joke. And it's not a question of generation.

In 79 a young adult could afford a clunker and it was simple enough to fix up. Today it might be 1 scooter is all the two could afford.

I don't know maybe because they don't spend 4 hours in make-up and hair before each shift.

As a Gen Xer, I disagree with this. I know people like to portray the Millennials and Gen Z like this, but it's nonsense. My generation got hosed. But nothing like these generations have. I admire how they don't take c**p from companies and challenge the idea of "work hard and you'll get ahead". The truth is their is a natural reaction to companies exploiting them. And all you need to do is open your eyes and you will see it. The model businesses operate under now demands that kind of response. They broke the social contract between between companies and workers. And they did it in a deceptive manner. Pensions, healthcare, and social security are a few examples. They made sure to take care of the Boomers so they wouldn't call foul and let Gen X & Y work old school style without the rewards. And we were too inexperienced to see it. From the time I turned 18 I have seen home costs jump from $30k for a house to $350k. While the federal minimum wage went from $2.35 to $7.25. Insane.
