What happened to halloween?

Back to General Discussion

soooooo for the past 5+ halloweens ive had have not felt ANYTHING like halloween, i feel like everyone is losing spirit in holidays, or maybe im just growing up, idk i miss the show specials that would come out or the games that would get halloween updates like i was excited for halloween but now its just another day i feel like,

idk whats happening i think theres a chance halloween is still the same im just not seeing it bc i dont have children around me, but i feel like if the parents dont have spirit for that holiday than their child wont either, ik i cant do anything to really make halloween have that feel again besides sitting down and watching old vhs of halloween specials, but idk im only 16 i dont think im old enough to make halloween feel this way,

but this is only a theory. a holiday theory...


ANYWAYSSSSS BYEEEEEEE

growing up probably has some factor in it, but I think it's at least partially everyone. last halloween, I heard a lot of people in my town say they barely had any trick or treaters at all compared to the previous ones

it's scary to think, but I'm a little suspicious that it has to do with kids being desensitized by having phones and modern social media while being so young. but maybe the lockdown also has something to do with it?? it's been a long time since then but it was still a huge cultural reset and it greatly influenced people to be more isolated, even after it was all over

@Rainie yk you have a very good point on the lockdown, i do think it made people more "used" to being indoors which imo is not very good for humans we are meant to go outside XD

but children having phones is really what changed and cursed the future generations, like my ex gfs little sister was 9 and had a phone her whole life and she acted like she was a full grown adult like obv there was kid factors abt her but its like it all got taken away bc she has a phone, i just wish there was something we could do to push a change and make the worl like it used to be, like yeah there was problems back then, BUT IT WAS MAINLY THE OLDER PEOPLE DEALING WITH IT XD idk i wish the world could take on chuck e chesses slogan, "the earth where a kid can be a kid"

@XxB3ASTEDK1TTYxX my ex's little sister is the exact same way actually!! she got a phone before she could even read.... now she posts selfies on tiktok at 10 years old and she does NOT look her age at all, if I didn't know her I'd assume she was like 16. it's genuinely frightening.


kids always have wanted to appear more "grown up", I know I sure did. but I miss when all they could do about it is poorly use some makeup they got from claires and wear their mom's jewelry. and combining that with allowing them unrestricted internet access is SCARY and irresponsible
