Society is an ever-shifting landscape of trends, traditions, rituals, and norms. Change is the name of the game, but for some people, change doesn’t happen fast enough. Redditor Jimjoe1 asked people what modern social trends anger them the most, and they couldn’t wait to share their real thoughts and feelings about what they feel is wrong with the world.

We’ve collected the best responses below, so have a read through them and tell us what you think, dear Pandas. Remember to upvote the ones you agree with and be sure to drop us a comment with how you’d personally answer Jimjoe1’s question.

Pssst, spoiler warning, plenty of these people think that social media and attention-seeking are some of the fundamental ills of the times that we live in. Read on for Bored Panda’s interview about our desire to be seen and adored on social media with an expert in history. If you think our fascination with wanting attention is something new, you’re in for a rough awakening.

Awesome court ruling here recently: judge deemed a mother's own 'googling and internet research' was not sufficient to deny her children vaccines, esp measles after a 2019 outbreak (NB this parent also rejected haircuts and dental care for kids until forced to[free of charge of course]). Judge basically said if I allow your (mum) opinion to be equivalent to that of a genuine specialist witness, then what is the point of these special experts? Anyone could start to claim to be an expert, too dangerous a precedent. Kids are getting vaccinated. Awful that it had to be done like this. She said they had natural immunity and didn't need vaccines, as her kids hadn't ever gotten the illnesses, and had been given 'holistic vaccines' whatever the hell those are 🤦‍♀️

Jimjoe1’s thread was incredibly popular on r/AskReddit, getting over 64.4k upvotes at the time of writing and being the top-awarded post on the site. Other redditors gifted the user more than 340 awards and we can definitely see that number getting higher as the thread continues to get more and more attention online.

Bored Panda spoke about social media, people’s desire to look beautiful and ‘perfect,’ and how this is commodified with historian Dr. Jane Nicholas from St. Jerome’s University at the University of Waterloo.

According to Dr. Nicholas, seeking perfection isn’t a new idea: it’s long been sold as an attainable ideal. Something that’s within our grasp and could be ours if we just tried harder (or… spent more).

We've been to two of these in my family. Both times were truly excruciating to witness. Both were for couples who already had two girls. When the gender reveal revealed, surprise!, a girl, both dads were crushed and acted so disappointed in front of family and friends. One went into a spare bedroom to lie down. The poor moms! If you are going to have a gender reveal why on earth shouldn't the parents find out in private beforehand?

It's even more heartbreaking when there are children of the same gender present. There was one in particular where the father actually screamed and went outside afyer finding out it was a girl whilst his daughters sat around the table looking so depressed and disheartened. The mother just tried to laugh it off too. So many kids deserve better.

Indeed. Babies don’t have an identity yet so they don’t have a gender more than my dog does. They have a sex (female or male). Still I find it so idiotic and sexist to care about what are the genitals of the baby. It makes me feel that they will treat the baby differently depending on the sex.

To see how stupid these things are, just suggest to call them 'sex reveal parties', since that is what is actually is going to be revealed, not the gender of the child. Most parents will react really appalled, probably because they realise that all they are announcing is their child having a vagina or penis. Which I find pretty damn gross, tbh. Imagine going through a photo book with your child, when their older, basically telling them 'and that was the day aunt Judy got to know that you have a w***y'. It is absolutely fine to celebrate having a child. It is also fine to celebrate having a boy, girl and anything in between. But it should be done in one party. 'I am having a child. Oh, and they are going to be a girl/boy/...'. Please don't make the sex of your child a bigger part of their personality and self than it actually is.

Yes once I found out boy/girl I was excited but just because it made things more real for me but It made no difference to me. I love my kids because they are my kids period. People who react badly either are not ready for children or shouldn't be having them at all!

I have seen a lot of gender reveals where father was like noooo another girl while his daughters were right there. If I were one of the girls it would hurt me for sure. the children can feel unloved with that reactions you know. plus there is one thing i dont understand: does the mother know? because in some videos the mothers seemed to be surprised too. if they dont know who then orders the cakes,baloons, confetti? the doctor? in my country a lot of mothers decides they dont want to know and it is a surprise for them as well. you dont need to have everything in pink/blue,there are other colors you know

Stop doing gender reveal parties! Literally nobody cares that much about the gender of your baby. Simple. Just pick up the phone and call and say "It's a boy/girl!" or text it, DONE! No ifs or buts about it, no, nanda, none. We aren't in the 1940s anymore, we live in the 21st century and we can communicate with people across the damn ocean so no, you don't have an excuse to not just text or call.

It isn't a gender reveal, it is a sex reveal! These two words are often used incorrectly. Your sex determines whether you are male or female. Gender refers to the behaviours, social constructions etc that are linked to being male or female. So your sex may be female but your gender identity could be male, female, both etc.

I’m okay with gender reveal parties as long as they aren’t crazy or over the top. You don’t need fireworks and you don’t need to post it on YouTube. Just invite over your family and close friends to cut a dyed cake and discuss names.

Out of full honesty, I kinda wanna do one, but I won't do anything crazy and it'll probably just be a small party with my closest friends. Also, if they are boy or girl, I don't care. I'll love them just the same.

People Are Sharing Modern Trends That They Can't Stand (45 Answers) People recording themselves doing “charitable acts” like buying a meal or giving money to a homeless person. I can assure you that person does NOT want their face all over social media so you can get clout for being a “good charitable person”. Sure do a good thing like helping the less fortunate but you don’t need to record it and have their face all over social media.

“Many cosmetics, for example, promise the ability to achieve a certain look with their use. Social media is driven by different, more individual forces than traditional media, but it is caught up in many of the same patterns, specifically selling goods,” she explained that there’s a (hidden) economic aspect to social media that drives it forward. So what we’re seeing with influencers and their fixation on making a profit shouldn’t surprise anybody.

ADVERTISEMENT

The history expert noted that even if we’re smart enough to know that an image posted on social media is “highly manipulated,” this doesn’t mean that we can easily identify it with our own two eyes. “It’s difficult now to distinguish real people from the highly curated image presented on social media,” she said.

Dr. Nicholas believes that our inability to distinguish between real and highly curated images on social media “reflects something of our true selves now,” implying that things are here to stay. At least for the time being.

But for those of you lamenting that modern society is a nightmare, wishing to go back to the good old days, ask yourselves this: which days exactly are the so-called good old days? Dr. Nicholas told Bored Panda that we’ve all lived with various images of beauty since at least the 1920s, and “these have become parts of ourselves.”

ADVERTISEMENT

Our modern focus on social media is merely an extension of a long historic fascination with beauty. Similarly, other trends could be seen as continuations or reactions to previous trends once you dig a little deeper. That’s why having a solid foundation in history is vital if you want to make more accurate guesses about the future.

To know more in 10 minutes on YouTube then someone who has dedicated years of their life to study what other people before then also studied for years of their life and so on and so on. Years of human evolution, growth, study, break-throughs, accomplishments, ground to a halt by some jack wagon with a social media account.

Are the internet and social media to blame for what’s wrong with society? I like to think that they’re merely tools and aren’t inherently good or evil, but we make them so with how we use them. Or, to put it a tad more poetically, they’re funhouse mirrors that reflect and amplify our inner selves.

Social media can be a way to get in touch with long-lost friends and to give a platform for your art. Or it can be an excuse to post endless vapid selfies and to advertise products for monetary gain.

People Are Sharing Modern Trends That They Can't Stand (45 Answers) Family vloggers horrify me. The concept of exploiting your children's lives for views is particularly awful. And because it's a relatively new concept there are no real laws around child labor or exploitation concerning it. There are youtubers out there right now who live in mansions worth millions of dollars that they got from shoving a camera in their toddler's face and demanding them to perform for strangers. I can't even imagine the psychological repercussions this will have on these kids in the future.

Similarly, the internet itself is both a vast repository of painstakingly verified knowledge and funny animal videos, as well as a seemingly endless archive of half-truths, rumors, fake news, and gossip. You can’t have the good without the bad. Though it’s always healthy to sit down and think about what you’d change about the world if you could. And then, perhaps, even go out and make those changes into reality.

I'm going to write it clearly........"If you don't like something, don't watch it, interact with it or have anything to do with it." Just because you don't appreciate what someone has created, it doesn't mean it's your right to remove them and their art entirely.

People Are Sharing Modern Trends That They Can't Stand (45 Answers) You can't just buy something now. Everything is a subscription. First it was just Netflix, then it was dollar shave club. Now every TV channel is a separate subscription, every household item wants to send it to you over and over again. Nothing is released physically, so the only way to watch a movie or check out a new album is to pay someone monthly. Services that were offered for free or one-time purchase are rescinded and now offered as subscriptions. It's so obvious that everyone and everything just wants to milk you as long and for as much as possible. And people just buy into it willingly. I know people who spend like $200 a month on stuff that was free like, 10 years ago. People are even offering themselves on a subscription base now.
