Is Too Much Of Today’s Youth Culture Dark And Depressing?
97 Answers
Been watching Normal People and, while it is excellent, it is also dark and depressing. I find that with much of today’s pop music too - Adele, Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, etc. Even today’s comedians don’t give me belly laughs like those I grew up watching. No decent sitcoms on telly now. Don’t you think too much of today’s youth culture is too bloomin miserable, or is it just me?!

Best times ever were the football hooligans and rucks that erupted in the streets after the match. UB40 bemoaning being 1 in 10 due to high unemployment.
Then we had the happiest of youth, the emergence of the goths. What a ray of sunshine they were.
Seriously, you are not watching the right sitcoms (Better Things, Two Doors Down, Fleabag), listening to the right music or comedians.
I will say exactly what my parents said when I was a teen, and no doubt their parents said 80 years ago. Kids today don't know they're born

I will admit that I quite enjoyed what I saw of Fleabag. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is clearly an immensely talented comedy writer, but the others I've never heard of.
What I mean is that there is nothing that entertains me like Spaced, Father Ted or Black Books used to, much less makes me laugh as hard as Fawlty Towers, Blackadder or Bottom were able to. I guess this is what getting old is all about.

Ask err indoors I give all sitcoms a go and believe me I've watched some tish, but fleabag, I just don't get, watched the first 3 episodes and all I saw was vulgarity in place of comedy. Can't see how PWB has suddenly become the "in" thing. She's even writing the new Bond F\FS! She may redeem herself there though, you never know!
