There's layers to this shyt...
Peeps born in the 70's and 80's, we were raised different. We actually started socializing early because we went outside. We walked to school with kids. We hung out in school with friends. After school you rushed home to change to go hang out.
Being in the house was for those on punishment. Even when video games dropped, you could only play for so long until the mom kicked you back outside. Imagine seeing a block where there's just hordes of kids playing. That was the norm.
Also, a big factor, our parents were social! They had neighbors and friends over for fun. You learn what fun is from your parents.
Most parents now don't really be having friends over or gatherings and the kids grow up like that. Parents come home and just do nothing.
So times have changed. All these scary ass parents afraid to let their kids flap their wings too. We were hella independent as kids.
All kids now are like how cac kids were in my day. They stayed in the house or had like one friend come over and both them in the house like Bert and Ernie. Black parents weren't with that shyt. On some "fukk yall in there doing hunching...

get yall ass outside."
