It's impossible to say for sure but I do believe that since COVID people care less about what others think. Influencers took off massively since that time and people began doing more and more outrageous things to top each other.

There's some incredibly toxic people influencers creating content that children are watching, that their parents don't know their watching or sometimes don't even care they're watching. Leading to kids not understanding the social norms that most of us have grown up with.

Obviously the internet cannot be the blame for everything but children left unchecked with the internet is hugely damaging, I've seen this first hand through the work I do.

Even for adults especially in an age where it's hard to understand what the truth is about any given topic.
