Short answer, yes.

Longer answer, heeeeelllllll yes.

Even the great Socrates bemoaned the youth of his day.

In 1790, Enos Hitchcock wrote:

The free access which many young people have to romances, novels, and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge. Parents take care to feed their children with wholesome diet; and yet how unconcerned about the provision for the mind, whether they are furnished with salutary food, or with trash, chaff, or poison?

In the 19th century, in America, there were a number of people who thought playing chess was a sign of an "inferior character."

There has never been a time in human history that older generations didn't hate what the youngsters did. I would bet all three of my degrees that some old guy heard music being played on the Hohle Fels flute, thirty-five millennia ago, and rolled his eyes in exactly the same way a parent today might roll his eyes at One Direction.

It's something you truly find everywhere. In Medieval Japan, for instance, fiction was condemned by Buddhism for being a bunch of lies that hindered people's possibilities of enlightenment. There's actually a noh play (a form of theatre widely used by temples and shrines to gain adepts) from the 15th century that narrates how the author of the Genji Monogatari, the greatest classical tale ever written in Japan is being awfully tortured in hell for the sin of penning down "wild lies and fancy words". In that very same tale, written around the 11th century, the author has a character defend fiction against the accusation that it fills the heads of young girls with nonsenses and, if I recall correctly, makes them lazy and careless. And even a hundred years before that, we have a personal record called the Kagero nikki that basically opens by saying "I'm going to tell you my story, because tales are full of lies and create false expectations of what happens when you marry 'a charming prince'". I'm paraphrasing, of course.

There's a long history of people disapproving of the theatre. English Puritans were incredibly hostile to the whole idea of theatre and all theaters were closed during the tenure of Oliver Cromwell. Even when theatre was not disapproved of, being an actor often was. Most actors were not high in the pecking order and a lot of them traveled around a lot, so they were viewed as dishonest and immoral. Actresses were especially stigmatized as being little better than prostitutes. That stigma didn't abate until some time in the 19th century.

The only real difference between now and times past is that people seem to far more cavalier at the thought of exposing children to violence-- and not simulated violence, either, but actual violence. Two specific examples I can think of are that children were often involved in war and that people often took their kids to see public executions (the latter was so they'd see what would to happen to them if they were bad.)

Oh yes.

Most famously in China 213BC when key adviser Li Si 李斯 recommended that Qin Shi Huang 秦始皇 burn all books that may incite people to take views that differed from the vision that the emperor had for his empire, mostly ones that contained historical records or philosophical thought. [from Records of the Grand Historian]

And even earlier, famous statesman Shang Yang 商鞅 of Qin mentioned in his alleged book 商君书 that he felt books like the Book of Documents 尚书 and the Book of Poetry 诗经 were a bad influence, even listing them as part of the six ills 六虱 which would cause the collapse of an army.
