I'm sure individual people had the idea for a long time but I don't think it was ever a popular idea among an entire generation.

In part this might be because millennials are the most educated generation in history - that has consequences.

You might be right, the fact that your folks screwed you up is much more common nowadays, or at least more mature. I think it also has to do with the system being literally unable to keep it's barest promises. Even when there was hardship before, people who did "everything right" to live comfortably and happily, and have nothing to show for it but misery and despair, haven't been the majority in the history of capitalism I think.
