The ability for younger people to be "disrespected" or come out with a chip on their shoulder seems to be manifesting, especially in the age of social media where everyone knows everything about everybody, including where they are and what they're doing. It's really an enabler for elevated levels of personal gratification.
I think thats what Muta might be getting at.

I agree with this completely. People have a strong sense of entitlement these days. Social media definitely puts pressure on people to "outdo" everyone else. Gone are the days of privacy and in my opinion the word humble is fading away, and btw, get off my lawn!!
