My impression is that Gen x was a counter reaction to boomers and lashed out but boomers had too much power so it ended up being unfocused and chaotic. Millennials saw that chaos as was like this is all fucked but can we try and make things just a little bit better, we just want to survive. Then Gen Z sees all the bullshit and is like this all sucks, we’re just going to do our own thing. Kinda feel like gen z is doing what we wish we could do if there was less societal pressure to follow a life plan that doesn’t work.
