>>111861463depends what you mean. I think a lot of it is because of fucking Randy and his meme plotlines, plus the injection of really annoying real world politics- they didn't have Kyle's mom freaking out about Satanism in the 1990s episodes or whatever when retard evangelicalism was still the cool thing for boomer parents.
Maybe part of it is that society is more soulless and part of it is matt and trey taking the show away from the kids as they've moved out of their youthful college years to being people who are old and have kids of their own- the parents being wise or otherwise normal and based on matt and trey's uptight parents in a small town somewhere gives way to matt and trey's own eccentric lifestyles being fully applied to the adults instead of localized to problem-characters like Garrison.
Oddly Garrison has gone from being a dickish gay transgender teacher to being "the president" and a mostly straight-laced character beyond being a stand-in for Donald Trump.
I guess you can say it's because the original show was 2 young dudes in their 20s shitting on old WWII veterans huffing their pacific-scented farts and middle aged money-grubbing boomers through the mouthpiece of the then-underage Millennial generation, while now is Matt and Trey as middle aged men using the adult characters to react to the way they themselves perceive the world as insane.
And the boys themselves, who were nearer and dearer to Matt and Trey's perception, have become essentially "little adults"- reacting not to things with bemusement, confusion and childish worldviews but instead stuff like Cartman being well-versed on meme-tier college politics despite being only like 10 years old (4th graders are 10 year olds right?) and the kids in general having aged viewpoints like their creators.
Matt and Trey got old.
