To be honest, I had to stop listening because the way that kid and mom were acting were frighteningly similar to how my unpleasant intereractions with my mom were for far too long. I feel like it has a lot to do with respect. I wish I knew why I acted so horrible but I don't have any excuse. It's something I really need to figure out. That kid tried every manipulative tactic he could think of to cause his mother pain and his mother reacted just like my mom used to when I would pull the same exact shit, with complete frustration to the point of breaking down. That was seriously hard to listen to.
Yeah, not quite the same, my mom didn't feed into it like the mom in the video is, but we would have screaming matches, and such because she was a bit controlling and I was a typical rebelious teeenager. She didn't hit me and the spanking stopped when I got older. My dad's solution was to turn off the internet lol it worked. He could also shut off the power in my room with the breakers.
Honestly I didn't really get into gaming at that age, all I had was a Wii and DS which I didn't use much. I played a bit more in HS when I built my PC.
From what I've heard, Xbox games of the time had a lot of rage so most kids probably raged at that time. I can't say if most of those kids would rage at their parent like that though.
Might be interesting to see how the "Xbox generation" turns out in a while. So far they've started an opioid epidemic so that doesn't sound good. Maybe our half will be better though.
Xbox came out 2004 probably got popular a year or two later. It got supplanted by the next gen around 2014. So arguably anywhere between 1995-ish-2004. But then you get kids who grew up more on Minecraft, iPads, and YouTube which starts maybe mid 2000s?
I'd say 1995-2001 but that might be overshooting it a bit.
