“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

-— Socrates (as attributed by Plato)

Having bad manners and not standing when an elder enters the room is a whole lot different than turning feral.

May I point out “flash mobs” or “slap”?

After Socrates said this, the Athenians: lost the generations-long peleponesian war to their mortal enemy Sparta, were ruled over by the 30 tyrants, reestablished democracy long enough to vote for Socrates execution, then, finally lost their self rule to the Macedonians in 338, never to regain it as a polis. I think he had a point.
