Do you think younger people are losing the British sarcastic humour because from a young age they are consuming mainly internet media?

"even on British subs you'll sleep sarcastic comments downvoted unless they have an /s on them"... Few points to make here * That's not a youth thing that's a technology thing, it's in the same vein as putting **lol** at the end of a text you'd have sent in 2001 on a 3310. Sarcasm just doesn't translate well on the internet/via text. This applies to real life as well were person A can make a joke and it sounds sarcastic and is funny whereas person B does the same thing and they are considered mean. It's about tone and delivery something hard to replicate online. * Kids are cheeky shits like they always have been and always will be, but alot of what was considered cheeky or sarcastic 20 years ago feels more normal and mundane nowadays, so it's hard to gauge if they are less sarcastic or we are just desensitized to it more. Think how 'horror films arent scary' nowadays for another example of this type of thing. The movies are 1000% more scary than the relatively tame by comparison examples of the past, but nothing really scares like it used to because we've seen it all. Same for sarcasm, it just doesn't hit the same as it used to. * To add to that point the gentlemen Brit / war time grandmother's are a thing of the past, a bit of cheek or sarcasm back in the day would make your mother/grandmother blush whereas nowadays they have done worse, said worse and will give worse back * Most of this sub is Americans who identify as British because there great great great grandfather slept with William Wallace's goldfish, they haven't got a clue Ultimately though I don't think kids are less sarcastic, I think we are all as a society so much more sarcastic than any group of generations before us that we just don't notice it. All the buttons have been pressed, anything a level higher on the sarcasm scale is just being mean, anything a level up on the cheeky scale is just being a d*ckhead So by maintaining the line , people just don't consider younger people as sarcastic as they would've previous
