Grandparent in their sixties with today's media

These days I hear and see youngsters watching movies like This Is The End and The Interview. Movies that have no actual lesson that needs to be learned or anything serious. I don't think its completely terrible for them to be watching movies like that but there is so much more that they can watch that may end up benefiting their lives somehow. Same thing goes with music, I don't agree on the music such as Ariana Grande or The Weeknd because it has no meaning or talent behind it. Its repetitive words that either make no sense or are subjected to things such as partying. I think music should have lyrics that are actually meaningful and aren't like everyone else's songs. The same types of factors go towards television that young ones are watching. Some of it is not beneficial at all, but there is stuff that actually teaches you something like documentaries or anything historic. Social media such as Facebook or Instagram are more negative on peoples futures than they are positive. This is because of what people seem to post on these websites that have other people conflicting about it in the comments. Lastly, simple things that everyone sees everyday like advertisements on billboards can effect younger ones. Some advertisements will make some people feel like they need to look a specific way in order to be accepted into anything. I am not trying to be the stereotypical grandparent who is all against everything that happens these days with teens and young adults, I am just concerned over the fact that everything seems to bring more negativity into peoples lives and such. I am all for people doing what they want and being themselves but I just have opinions on everything.
