"Toxic" and "Boomer Logic" are lazy mind numbing cliches and no one is one-upsmanshiping anything.
Problems have always existed. What is different now?
A couple of things (in my opinion).
1) Entities, through media, are blowing up minor or hypothetical or non problems into existential crisis hammered 24-7 for political or financial gain. Happening on all sides of the political spectrum.
2) Kids aren't growing up learning a rational assessment and approach towards problems as much as was the case in the past. We "solve" too many small problems for children leaving them feeling powerless to solve the bigger problems later in life.
