A disturbing Gen Z social media trend threatens America's most important institution

There is a new trend sweeping social media platforms.

Aldo is a cultural and political commentator for PragerU who now hosts their very popular "Man On The Street" series. Aldo got his start doing on-the-ground reporting for the Blaze TV, Next News Network, and other outlets where his work first went viral for exposing "Family Friendly" Drag Shows across the country.

Even Hollywood stars are jumping on the trend, warning their fans about the pitfalls of marriage. Model and actress Emily Ratajkowski glamorized divorce and told her fans, "I don’t think there is anything better than being in your thirties…and having tried that married fantasy and realizing that it’s maybe not all it’s cracked up to be. In another viral video, Lilly Singh, an Indian-Canadian YouTuber, television host, comedian, writer, and actress, told an audience, "Stop telling women that the greatest thing they’ll ever do in life is get married."

These viral videos are more than just fleeting Internet sensations; they reflect a broader shift in societal attitudes toward marriage and relationships, especially among younger generations. The rise of online dating, career-focused aspirations, and changing gender dynamics have led many to reconsider the traditional timeline of settling down and starting a family. Recent Census data shows that marriage in the U.S. is declining. In 2021, the national marriage rate was 14.9, down from 16.3 a decade earlier.
