I hate when I hear your generation does this…

I hate when I hear your generation does this. There is nothing ever good said about my generation, I was born in 1994 and were considered selfish and entitled. I know Im not selfish or entitled. My parents talk about my generation alot. I had my first child in 2025 maybe they will talk about his generation like this. I like to say if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all. How do I as one person change the image of my whole generation? I know all generations have something good about them and something bad but I do not want to be known for the bad thing.

My generation (the end of the boomers) often forget what our parents (the Greatest Generation) said about us.

Nothing new to see here...been going on for eons

here's a quote from ancient Greece - from Wikipedia-

Hesiod (c. 700 B.C.E.): "I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was a boy, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [unruly] and impatient of restraint" (widely cited, though sometimes considered a summary of ancient attitudes rather than a direct quote).
