Is it discipline? How terrible it is out there? Is it a cultural thing ...to much tv?
Your thoughts if you care to contribute?
TV might be a part of it. Probably has been for awhile. I remember an old episode of "Leave it to Beaver" where Aunt Martha came to visit and Wally says "Hey Beave, check out their corny car!"
And, an episode of "Dennis the Menace" where some of the kids were boasting about their fathers and trying to one-up each other and one of the kids says "Oh yeah? Well my Dad's car has FOUR headlights!" And yeah, that actually was a thing. Just about every domestic car offered in 1958 had quad headlights standard, which made everything the previous year seem obsolete. And I can even remember as a kid, when it was usually bigger, pricier cars that had four headlights, and the cheaper, smaller ones usually had two, so it was still ingrained in the public mind.
Oh, and then in 1976, when most cars went to rectangular headlights, suddenly the ones with round headlights seemed outdated. They sure knew how to keep the buying public on their toes back then!
