There's a song about this phenomenon in Québecois French called Dégénération, from Mes Aïeux.
It starts with your great great grand father clearing the land, your great grand father plowing the land, your grand father making a profit out of it, your father selling it to be a white collar, and you, living in a one room apartment, owing debts to corporations.
The lyrics are pretty conservative and portray a rosy past, but it goes with the traditional style and the fact the band's name means "my ancestors". This being said, the song is still pretty spot on about this phenomenon. Here's a link to the translated lyrics, and the song.
EDIT: Oh and there's a parody (no translation, sorry) stating the obvious, like "your great great great grand mother, she took dumps in a bucket, and she only had three teeth left, but it was paradise."
