Nope.

I've been hearing it since I was a child.
We don't seem to be in hell yet, handbasket or not.

People have always been degenerate, one way or another.
Dickens wrote accurately about the times he lived in for example, he only invented the characters. Hogarth's famous Gin Street etching was about society on the verge of collapse.

I doubt he's the first 13 year old to have fathered a child. And he won't be the last.

I see a deterioration of values that worsens with every passing year."
