[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, OP. Although your post is ironic because you clearly believe you've stumbled on to some kind of insight. [/quote] I think it is an insight. People really do behave differently on TV now than they did a generation ago, and it's not a leap to think this impacts behavior. I have long thought that the reason Gen X is so sardonic and sarcastic in their humor, and most millennials more earnest and not sarcastic, is because of the TV/movies we consumed as kids. I grew up kind of between those generations and my older siblings/friends use sarcasm a lot more and are somewhat caustic in their humor, whereas my younger sibling and people I know born after about 1985 are not like that. It feels like a sharp divide to me and that's the only explanation I've come up with as to why.[/quote]
