But the obsession with social media and the mentality of being "entitled" and "offended" all the time are worthy of being called out for the people they apply to.
Well, I don't know about social media (although - Trump), but - since we're broadly generalizing - "entitled" and "offended" - that's Baby Boomers, more than anyone...
The same generation, that grew up in times of post war prosperity, that in their youth wanted "peace" (because they didn't want to get drafted and killed in a war), "free love" (because there was no AIDS, but there were antibiotics and contraceptives) and drugs - gave rise to Wall Street greed-worship, Reaganomics, War on Drugs, Satanic Panic and puritan nostalgia for glossy version of the 50's, some 20 to 30 years later.
And now they expect young people to somehow lead lives their way - a way that is no longer possible, because technology, economy, job and housing markets and pretty much everything else has changed diametrically. And - naturally - they hate the way young people dress, talk, f*ck and the music they listen to, because that's just what older people always have done.
In my opinion Millennials are doing as well, as should be expected, considering the circumstances.
