idk adults said that to kids when i was younger. if you mean “young people” as in “young adults like under 30”, then maybe. “it’s just a phase” was also common. (the “phases” turned out to go like 20 years with most ppl i knew)
Everyone kept telling me that I would become more conservative with age, and that once I got a job in the “real world,” and started paying taxes, then my priorities would change (presumably to lowering taxes?).
yeah, resonable taxes aren’t so bad. i often think there should be gigantic taxes on things like fossil fuels and plastic packaging. whatever happened to cream in milk cartons? it’s all plastic now 😤
I remember most older people appearing “normal” when I was younger. But now that I’m almost 40 most of my peers seem unapologeticaly unhinged. Not fitting into what our parents thought as non-weird at all.
Actually, maybe kids these days see me as “perfectly normal old guy”, and it’s just a generational divide.

Literally the opposite has happened.

Norms have changed tons over my nearly half century years here.
