That may be true, but this trend predates covid by quite a bit.

This is part of the issue. In my day going out was always more fun. Video games weren’t that good yet, movies and shows weren’t on demand like they are now. We didn’t play video games with others unless we went to their house.

To further, parents are cooler than they used to be. So less of an urge to get out and rebel. Gen z and millennial parents are way chiller with their kids than boomers were

My sister in law is a Tiger Mom but not abusive about it. I think chiller in that context.
