    Broadly, I wonder if these folks have no memory for how they were regarded.

    The silent generation was broadly characterized as all being lazy beatniks.

    The boomers were all characterized as being lazy hippies.

    Of course gen xers, millennials, and z have all had their turn.

    Every generation broadly bemoans the laziness of the young generation. I recall reading someone who sampled media going back to 19th century, repeatedly finding the “young folks are lazy” rhetoric that is always present.
