Melinial Generation is the most narcissistic generation to ever exist

Melinial generation (those born between 1978 and 2000), are the most self asorbed, shallow people to ever walk the face of the earth. Notably liberal, they also exploit others at their own expense. Always demending something in return for themselves. The worst part about this group is they think they know more than they do. They think they have it all figured out. Lets recall even previous generation- the Baby Boomers. While, yes, they did display some levels of narcissism, at least they had an actual cause! They were not just inflated in their own self worth, but they were trying to make changes (not that I agree necessarily with their POV)
Gen Xers were too depressed and wearing flannel all the time to be true narcissists. Winers and complainers, yes. But not real NPD. The melinials have little to no work ethic! Employers interviewed say they can't get people to even show up for work, let alone stay at the same job. And they sit in the "Occupy" this or that movement and complain about cops, when offered a solution they just say they are helpelss victims of the "the system" and they can't pay off their enormous student loans
Unfortunately, I am part of this generation, and my generation makes me sick. I hope maybe future generations will not be so self absorbed know-it-alls and maybe we can get something done.

You know, people born in the last decade or so will have never known a world before 9/11, Facebook, Twitter, tablets and smartphones. Never known a world before Starbucks, MP3s, $3 a gallon gas, organic grocery stores, etc. Never went to a school before No Child Left Behind where they are taught how to pass a multiple choice test rather than think critically or debate...never went to a college where they didn't need student loans to afford the school.
The generation after Millennials, the ones looking to us as role models, will be the most fucked generation.

It is because they are "digital natives". You and I had analog lives before the interwebs forced us to give up the analog world and the postal service. They can always "look it up" except when you can't.
Nevermind, that I grew up along the interweb. I can't be a native since I wasn't born with a phone in my hand. I had to learn to use a phone the "hard" way.

The Baby Boomers gave themselves massive entitlements while greatly lowering taxes during their prime earning years, leaving a huge debt that the younger generations will have to pay off. Sounds pretty selfish or "narcissistic" to me.
