Reply #12: Boomers: Most selfish generation of all time [View All]

[UdoKier]

Self-absorbed and almost infantile in their neurotic desire top pamper themselves. Almost all of them are divorced, because they don't have any of the forbearance that got their parents through the depression.


My generation, Gen X, was the first to be raised expecting LESS improvements in their quality of life than those of their parents. We are also fairly self-absorbed and spoiled, but I think the jury is still out on whether we will end up as cynically self-serving as the boomers have turned out to be. They started out idealistic, but sold out their ideals at the drop of a hat. Most of us Xers started out pretty cynical, but some of us have started to want to do more.


As for Gen Y. I have no idea. Don't know anybody in that age bracket very well. Are they even adults?
