almost every "old" generation says this about the "new" generation. you can go back and look at articles and magazines that say the same thing about your generation. and when i say "your generation" i don't even know which "generation" you are. it doesn't matter since most likely there's been a negative article written about your age group regardless of how old you actually are.

I tend to be really careful with this generational judgement. I'm 30 myself and I find a lot about my parents' generations to be good and naturally a lot bad things as well. Now I'm frequently really tired of my generation (Gen Y, I guess) and, surprisingly, find recently that I'm really hopeful about Gen Z. They're like more polished version of us. Maybe it's an effect of growing up in post-financial-crisis world.

Nah, they just haven't had the time and opportunity to gain and abuse power, or to become disillusioned. They'll be just as questionable as ourselves when they're our age. In different ways.

I would agree that in itself, working 9-5 is unfulfilling. But most people see work as a means to a more fulfilling end.

I don't have a particular affinity towards or against insta influencers or youtube stars. I just find the comments amusing. "I am so much better than insta influencers because, uh, I have a job? I don't seek validation from strangers? I am not sure but I sure know that they are the downfall of the humanity"

I think generally yes, we as a society look down on those who are starved enough for attention and validation to constantly need it from strangers. That's pretty much how society has always been.
