This isn't so much an issue with a "generation", which is hard term to define, but rather one with young people.

Go read articles from the 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, etc. and know what you find? The bemoaning of how this generation is

1. Lazy
2. Entitled
3. Spoiled
4. Ungrateful
5. Self centered

Think about that, they were saying these exact same things about Gen X and the Baby Boomers. Why? Well, in part, because there are elements of truth to them. Young people spend the first 20-30 years of their lives focusing on themselves and their personal goals. Often as we age and have to depend on others and take care of others we gain perspective.

Trust me, what ever they call the generation following millennials (which would be those born 2001-2020) will have all sort of think pieces written about the decline of morality and how they take all the hard work of prior generations for granted.
