Gee, I don't know, why would a generation of people be desperate for peer or parent attention? Why would that generation be ALLOWED to misbehave in such a way?
Could it be their parents acted like idiots and let their kids get away with murder--or worse, acted like idiots and ignored their kids outright, so that the children crave ANY attention at all?
I loathe the fact that a big component of sports is now trash-talking. But you want to pin the blame on someone for the rise of trash-talking, pin it on the folks who encouraged it and then continue to watch as they mutter about it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If it's so awful, STOP IT. If you think whining about it is the answer, you're probably a Boomer.
