The reason why people think Millenials are bad, is because we all grew up with the internet. We also had to grow up with the horrible repercussions of smaller government. Health care is insanely expensive because the government refuses to step in and control prices. Student loan debt is out of control, because regulators refused to shut down for-profit schools. As a result, the generations that came before us see us as lazy, and broke.

But all the stuff that makes us Millenials seem bad, (or actually be bad), is effecting Gen Z just the same. So they should have no reason to look down on any of us.

Your comment makes no sense, as government in the US (You seen to be speaking from a US perspective) is much, much larger than it has ever been, and has been growing tremendously throughout your entire lifetime, along with the problems that you mentioned.

That is completely false. We put a man on the moon in the 60's. Now NASA is a shadow of its former self. U.S. funded computer research programs gave birth to the internet, as well as many other inventions. Now it is almost impossible to get government research funding. Republicans have dialed back regulations for decades, and whenever they can't dial back regulations they massively cut the funding for said regulators. I'll post links and examples later today when I get the freetime.
