text: I agree that alot of it is due to social media, I grew up when Myspace was huge and that caused alot of issues during my middle school and high school years. I cant imagine what the same age demographic deals with now with all these other options. But I wonder if its at the same time also not the top 40 hits and popular music that is played by everyone now days. Have you heard the lyrics to modern Hip Hop and even pop music now?? It sounds so angsty and depressive like what was popular with the "Emo" kids or the outcast kids when I was a teenager. Whenever I listen to the radio now It all sounds so cynical, miserable, somewhat suicidal(if not fully) and they talk about how they have serious issues non stop. I really cant listen to mainstream radio anymore because of this now and I still listen to "screamo" music a decade later but I cant stomach this new wave of pop music trying the same card.
