when did bad behavior be considered the cool thing to do? is there like a history of bad behavior being the right thing to do to be accepted into society?

That depends upon how you define "bad behavior" and which society accepts this behavior.

We call our forefathers who threw tea into Boston Harbor patriots. The British called them criminal.

Civil rights workers of the 1960s were called criminal by many people, especially in the South. For many of us today, they were heroes.

What about runaway slaves?

What about William Ayers' activities in the 60s?

If, on the other hand, you are talking about general everyday rudeness, then I would generally say that the parents of the 80's were far more "lenient". They felt that their children should not have to face being told "no". As a result the children grew up not respecting others. I can very well remember a senior I had who was extremely capable, but who didn't want to do anything. I had monthly discussions the parents. At the end of the year the student had failed English. The parents came in and begged me to at least "give" a D. With pressure from the principal, I did..... the student flunked freshman year. Someone finally said "NO".

The perception of bad behavior as being cool or socially accepted can vary across different societies and time periods. It is important to understand that what is considered "bad behavior" is subjective and can change depending on cultural norms, societal values, and individual perspectives. However, there have been instances throughout history when certain behaviors that were traditionally perceived as rebellious or deviant became popularized or celebrated by certain groups.

One way to explore the history of bad behavior being considered cool is to examine cultural movements and trends. For example, in the 1950s in the United States, the rise of Rock 'n' Roll music and youth rebellion challenged social norms and sparked a perception of bad behavior as being cool and rebellious. The music, style, and attitude of artists like Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones were seen as defiant against traditional values and gained popularity among younger generations.

Similarly, in the 1990s, the emergence of the "grunge" subculture, associated with alternative rock music, embraced a sense of anti-establishment sentiment and non-conformity. This subculture rejected mainstream ideals and embraced an outwardly disheveled appearance, challenging societal norms of presentation and behavior.

It is also important to recognize that media and popular culture play a significant role in shaping our perception of what is deemed cool or acceptable. Movies, television shows, music, and other forms of media often portray characters who engage in rebellious or bad behavior as being charismatic or intriguing, creating a perception that such behavior is cool or socially desirable.

Understanding the history of bad behavior being considered cool requires studying the sociocultural context of different time periods and exploring the influence of various factors such as youth movements, counter-culture, media, and shifting societal values.
