This is tangential. No one is saying this is the first time there were disagreements between generations. There is literally a term "generation gap".
The Boomers are the probably biggest "me first" generation ever. Does it mean every Boomer is that way? Clearly not. But this isn't some made up thing by Millennials who just want to complain, it's a pretty documented issue. Taxed the least, demanded the most, took the massive economic boom provided post war and pissed it away. What's to look up to there?
I am grateful I just seemed to beat the crest of the wave that millennials have to deal with now. And look at me, not having to deal with the problems and yet still able to accept the existence of them.
