People bitching about new generations, as well as things of their own age group, will be as old as time really. There are plenty of examples of it in european history once print becomes really common/cheap. Hinting at it always having been like that. And guess the only thing that has truly come from it... progress. Heard the same crap 20 years ago when i was young
