I think it's just a few individuals of each generations that are responsible for most of the world's ills while the others were either just trying to survive or thinking "there's not much I can do about it, let's just try to have a decent life".

In 40 years, young people will blame millenials the same way boomers are blamed today. Because millenials will be the latest active representatives of a generation where a few abused their positions of power and made the world a worse place than it was.
