I never really understood where this came from. Is it from the whole “customer is always right” culture they were raised with?
The other name for the boomer generation is the "me" generation. because after the depression their parents had money again and gave them everything they wanted creating a generation of incredibly selfish people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_generation
Weird how the "Me Generation" called millennials the "Me Me Me Generation".
Meanwhile, gen z: the meme generation
Man that Time's article seems so out of touch to me. I couldn't finish it.
It's just funny to see a 2013 take on millennials before I was even old enough to realize the shitty world we inherited from the Boomers.
It comes from entitlement, and mistaking a postwar economic boom with massive government handouts for personal effort.
Just like an idiot, the typical boomer doesn't understand why the saying exists or why it was started. They focus on just the surface level, and assume the rule for usage is the same as the title.
I don't think so.
