I do believe that Narcissism is worse today, but I have a hard time believing that the Y'ers are any more narcissistic than the X'ers and the Boomers. If anything, society as a whole has shifted. I have a somewhat different perspective, perhaps, because I see a lot of this is the various churches, where what is said in the pulpit is more and more about the preacher than about the message. Thing is - almost all of them are X'ers and Boomers.

I agree, young people of every generation tend to be more narcissistic than the old-fogies and genY is probably not anymore so that the last. The difference is today's kids have more tools and are savvier about managing their public image. I think this is due to technology & shift of media values. Thus, the subset of young people who are narcissist are able to amplify their presence. This create more opportunity for people like the OP to justify their own confirmation bias.
