pretty much this. there was two ways they could've turned out: nihilistic and self destructive or blissfully unaware and hopelessly selfish. unfortunately, its the latter

how does the experience of living through 9/11 make one blissfully unaware and hopelessly selfish exactly

it's a defense mechanism, on a subconscious level, in order to overcome the harsh reality that we (the people) are powerless against the boundless greed and bloodlust of a select few.

I love when gen x and y blames millenials for all the problems that that the X and Y's made. Oh you guys are bad with money... it's your fault we took it all and keep loving the system, go get a job already. Pound that pavement, it'll work.

Also I really find it odd that it encompasses people born in the early 80's and people born in the late 90's, I feel like a poo poo load has changed over that 15-20 years, ranging from technology to the economy.

Oh and I don't think I've met anyone my age give or take 5 that wants to change the world, they just want to have a slightly better job or maybe even a house.

I was born in 1987 which technically makes me a millennial but I have a lot more in common with someone born in 1982, which would technically be Gen X, than someone born in 1992.

Same as it ever was.
My favorite is when people say "Kids these days always staring at their smart phones!" when really it's just a natural evolution of the "Kids these days always listening to their Walkman Headphones!" complaint that was leveled against Gen X'ers.
