People bitch about every new generation as it arises. This sort of disdain for the current youth, rooted in a sort of dislike of change and self-righteousness about how one
should grow up and behave, is really quite tired. I'm sure your generation had just as many negative qualities. People often refuse to self-examine and acknowledge their own faults, instead pointing fingers at others.
With that said, we all could lighten up a bit.
