A hot take on X is currently stirring conversation across social media.
An X user shared what they described as an “unpopular opinion,” claiming that the global decline of marriage can be traced back to American culture.
According to the post, Hollywood played a major role by glamorising divorce, pop culture watered down the value of commitment, and social media helped spread those ideals across the world.
The user didn’t stop there — they also criticised the current obsession with “self-love,” suggesting that it has turned many young people away from viewing marriage as a blessing.
“Now, a generation addicted to ‘self-love’ views marriage as a burden, not a blessing,” the tweet concluded.
The take has since triggered strong reactions — while some agreed, others argued that cultural shifts, economic stress, and outdated gender roles have just as much to do with the changing views on marriage.
