I always wonder if this boomer/millennial thing is an American invention. Is it media manufactured? I don't see this adversarial generationalism here at all.
America just doesn't have a culture where the older generations leave things better than they found it. Boomers are generally (but not always) selfish and entitled. They hoarde wealth and vote against anything that jeopardizes it because they feel they worked so hard for it. Even if that thing could positively impact their children or grandchildren. All while telling people working 2+ jobs just to afford food and housing that they're lazy.
If anything, the media has always catered to boomers and shit on millennials. A lot of millennials have boomer parents as well.
More specifically, this talk sheds a lot of light on it. The opening statement alone is interesting: that despite the conventional wisdom it is actually better to be born into a large cohort than a small one. Because being in a large cohort brings collective voting/political power and buying power.

We used to. The boomers are the first generation in all of history that had it better than their kids. The greatest generation, and the silent generation would be whipping their asses if they were still around.
Yeah people in the US dont have elders they have trauma dumpers. Its sad how entitled and blinded they are.
