Other than the TikTok-headed part, the phrase could easily be applied to at least as far back as the 80s (NES) depending on definition of game-playing. Before then, there was foosball and pinball. Nevermind the kids that play card/board games. Also, while not staring at a phone implying smart phone use, it was often said about teens having a phone growing out of the shoulder from them constantly being on the phone with friends.
So, yeah, kids these days...are just like the generations of kids before them.
Kids these days ruining their brain by writing things down.
And what is tiktok if not MTV on steroids
It's personalized and made by peers vs professional Hollywood productions. Of course, I'm thinking about original MTV and not whatever it evolved into with reality crap programming.
Right, but it still has the same kind of energy as MTV. Music, counterculture (to en extent), and crude humour. It got to the point where when Beavis and Buthead got a reboot, they reacted to tiktoks
Which is a good thing.
