    Nope. Every generation is seen as a failed generation when they’re in their early twenties.

    I’d say the previous generations have failed you, especially considering the boomers (and boomer-loyalist gen-Xers like Ted Cruz) have tried to mold you guys to fit into their society (as cheap labor and soldiers) rather than letting you change culture and take society in the direction you want it to go. After all, it’s as much yours as ours.

    Oh and we let big fossil-fuel wreck the climate for you, so bunches of Zoomers are going to die in a crisis famine and this catastrophic event will define their lives. Also there’s the plastic crisis which is going to accelerate the Holocene extinction.

    So no. Your whole generation got dealt a bum hand. There’s too much mess to clean up unless we have some miracles of innovation.
