It amuses me to no end that, very often, the people I hear bitch about "kids these days" being soft, entitled, easily offended, etc, are themselves "kids." What they're actually saying is, "My generation is bad, but I am an exception. I'm better than my peers."
It's literally an elitist viewpoint, from people who then complain about elitism in politics.
Boggles the mind.
Rule of thumb, anyone who complains about "kids these days" can be readily dismissed without further thought.
