Crazy how no one trick or treats anymore

[eodWasRight]

because although kids always traveled to better neighborhoods on Halloween thus some neighborhoods would be packed, you still had a steady stream of kids coming through less-rich neighborhoods. prol similar to how you simply see less kids playing it the street, although you might see them in a cul-de-sac neighborhood. still rare.

muh guess is

1) the internet/gaming changed gave them something else to do

2) information overload amplified the likelihood of something bad happening (bad candy, robbed, etc.)

3) parents working more

4) just general disinterest by kids cuz maybe kids don't hang out in groups by neighborhood anymore and more to do with social affiliations/church

BS.


It all changed in 2012


Before 2012, there was internet and yet the streets were littered with ppl

[TryingMen]

I will admit I remember houses being a lot more decorated for sure. Back when I trick or treated the good houses would have things like fog machines and strobe lights going with creepy music playing and all kinds of effects. I rarely see houses that intense these days.


It's the same for Christmas.


I actually think people have less time to do these things. Everyone is constantly pressed to do stuff at rapid speed. Every work place has terrible work life balance and thanks to technology work never really leaves you at the end of the day. Even more so now that remote work is a common thing. It's all out of whack. The lack of Halloween interest and trick or treating isn't even on the kids imo. It all starts with the adults and the adults don't have time to encourage and/or excite kids to participate in this stuff these days.

Good. Last thing our obese country needs is everyone binging out on candy.

[DrugsToGetBig]

this year had a huge turnout compared to years prior

probably 400 kids in a couple hour period this year on my street

[metroins]

The van in the second picture said "free puppies and candy". Lots of jello shots, margaritas, wine and mini liquor bottles were seen thie year. Wife got wine and jello vodka shots. I don't drink much anymore, I got none.

[imbeingcereal]

Everything is becoming more stale nowadays. This is what happens when technology goes too far and everyone is either scared of everything, have no social connections, or are too busy consooming nonsense to actually live life organically.

I'm 90% sure I don't want to have kids anymore because of all this chit. I don't want my kids to grow up in a world where they can't do all the chit I did during the holiday season.

[SirFapsAIot]

were never going back to this huh? it's over

With crime being higher now than in the 90s, who the fuk wants to deal with trick or treat. That pic you posted looks straight out of the 90s, not a single piece of schit cell phone was seen that day.

[r32gojirra]

They still have it

They just renamed it “SNAP”

Instead of begging from door to door you can get all your free trash food requirements at one place

Cell phones should've never been mixed


A mixed cell phone is not really a phone at all




You notice people don't actually call with their so called "cell phone"


It doesn't look like a cell phone


It doesn't look like a computer either




It is a mixed abomination

I looked at the pics and thought "damn must be a nice neighborhood in Cali..oh wait..no palm trees...maybe texas?"

yeah weather and wealth make a huge difference.

[eodWasRight]

Why are post-2012 people so fkn retarded??



They stare at their "cell phone" mindlessly?





eod was right

[Vhagar]

Was thinking this. Usually the wealthy neighborhoods are where the kids go to. The big mansions and historic districts with $400k homes.

If you live in a poverty neighborhood you won't see many

What sort of poverty town has 400k mansions?

You can’t buy a 1500 sq ft condo for that here.

idk what happened to american culture

you exported your cultural vomit to the rest of the world.

chitload of goy golems on the streets of oz begging for jewish treats in the suburbs. some family even carved pumpkins traditional goy golem style with triangle eyes and chit.

10 years ago, people would call you a dumb kunt and ask you to fuk off back to america, ozzie love it or leave it.

Seen photos of rich kunts in asia celebrating it too

pure unadulterated goy golem culture. sickens me to the pit of my stomach.

80% of girls were dressed as that dumb kunt wednesday addams too, part of the fukking braindead goy golem brainwashing program.

fuk you and your jewish masters, fukking retarded seppo dogs.

I feel like there's no mystery or creativity anymore and people feel like they've already seen it all. Think about how when you were a kid, it was fun to walk around during Halloween and see people go all-out with crazy/creative costumes. Nowadays, all this stuff is available on or has already gone viral on social media, so there's less incentive to go out and explore. You'll even get step-by-step instructions on how to do it if you really want to emulate it next year. Same thing with Christmas lights/decorations during December.

Couple that with the fact that we've seemingly run out of ideas on anything now (just look at Hollywood/music as evidence of that), declining birth rates, lack of social trust, and this is what you get.

[Daz206]

It all goes back to internet/social media srs. It's ruined everything. No mystery, creativity, wonder, etc. anymore at all.

That being said, trick or treating is still very alive and kicking here in Utah lol

[Evolutionary1]

Encouraging kids to not binge eat pure sugar and behave like heathens is a bad thing?

I thought most of you guys were "conservatives"?

[Leonydus]

because the jew government shipped brown ppl to live in White neighborhoods and now no one trusts each other

[BigDeeps01]

Not sure where you live OP but my neighborhood is full of trick or treaters

[DustinTheHuss]

I'm getting hundreds of kids. Covid killed it in 2000 but the number of kids keeps increasing each year. They come in huge groups so I'm almost out of candy. Thanks heavens as I don't want any left.

[dogorman7]

Not sure if srs

I even saw a bunch of adult trick or treaters tonight

[dogorman7]

When you are pushing 40 and you still don't have a wife/kids, everyone starts to assume that you are gay or a p*do (srs). People are still trick-or-treating but they are just avoiding your house.

Brootal

So this is who lives in that house everyone avoids.

[Mindrevolution]

I live in AZ where it was 80 today and I got maybe ten total knocks. And I blew $45 on candy. So yeah it’s definitely not just cold areas. Well maybe everyone was watching the World Series but yeah lines up with what many of you experienced.

based and completely correct

[AlwaysFocus]

200 kids tonight. For 3 hours it was fire work chaos too. Love it

[Vhagar]

I bet I ended with less than 20, and I’m in the suburbs about half a mile from a middle school and elementary school.

Even left the bowl outside after about 830 and it was missing maybe 5 pieces when I grabbed it

[8pieces]

Some young sloot was just at my place . She’s packing a baseball bat in her left arm . Smart kid ,better safe than sorry

the **** who trick and treats by themselves

[flat6pilot]

in the 90s there were thousands in each neighborhood

now there are barely a handful

idk what happened to american culture

Yeah I remember the early 90's we would be 10-20 kids deep at each house.

I find it varies from year to year. I was in that area tonight during trick or treat and it was a ghost town. The cold and snow probably kept many indoors but weather never stopped us. Blocks that used to be filled with kids were empty. Many houses with their lights off. On the contrary, last year it was 60 degrees and things were lit.

The decor was over the top this year. Seems like every other house had orange and purple string lights, 30ft tall blow up decorations with animatronics, enormous spiders. Ironically I think most schools ban students from dressing up or celebrating now.
