I believe it was the the degraded way that people lived in the days of Noah that would be seen again when Jesus was due to come as judge.Jesus said it is not only possible, but would happen again in the last days.
Matthew 24:37
[37]But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Violence and immorality dominate this world, especially in its entertainment. Children are raised on a steady diet of these things in what they watch on their screens. Adults too can’t seem to get enough of it. Filthy reality TV shows and movies that are violent and feature graphic sex and demonic themes.....these are what we are seeing. The internet is streaming this filth into people’s homes so the demons are still very active but in a different way these days when they can no longer manifest in their own flesh.....they manifest in the flesh of others who allow them to.
God’s people had laws that forbade them to live immoral lives, or to have anything to do with spiritistic practices. Jesus taught us the value of being “no part of the world” which meant being no part of its corrupt politics and bloodshed. We were not to follow the world in their violent, immoral and greedy ways.
I think you are misunderstanding what God said in Genesis....
Genesis 6:1-8....
“When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men. When the Lord saw that man’s wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time, the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Then the Lord said, “I will wipe off from the face of the earth mankind, whom I created, together with the animals, creatures that crawl, and birds of the sky—for I regret that I made them.” Noah, however, found favor in the sight of the Lord.” (HCSB)
“In those days and afterwards” was speaking about the time before the flood. Noah was instructed to build an enormous structure that would save both mankind and all the species of animals. It would have taken decades for Noah to construct this ark and, he was 500 years old before he fathered his children. (Genesis 5:32) God allotted 120 years until he would bring things to a finish. Noah had three sons who had to grow into adulthood and then take wives themselves.....I believe that this is the “afterward”......it didn’t mean after the flood, but after Noah had received his instructions.
The rebel angels could no longer manifest in the flesh after the flood. The only flesh they could control was other people’s....and they could only do that if people disobeyed God’s Law. (Deuteronomy 18:9-12) Since no other nation had those laws, demonism was rife in the world. The hallmark of false worship is seen in its spiritistic practices, especially was this true in the land of Canaan, which was to be gifted to Abraham’s descendants. (referred to in Deuteronomy.)
