“Generation X” was a terrific book that identified the generation after the baby boomers. The boomers were so busy making money, even both parents, the children had to raise themselves. A generation that really questioned cultural standards. It created great independence by also some neurosis and inability to have relationships, marriages, etc. Unfortunately, the book became most popular with marketers who targeted them and trained them.

A psychologist later identified Generation Y. The much younger siblings that were raised by the Gen X, because the parents were busy. Gen X became the model, i.e. kids, not adults. Gen Y was called the “Narcissistic Generation”. Ego independence what the goal. They were stunted children with the desires of a child, without the model of what adulthood meant. Children do what they feel and want. Adults do what must be done. Enter Kardashians following they every whim and getting paid to do so.

Great insight that these Gen Y parents are not teaching there kids to be adults. They are teaching them to be worshiped. And what happens whey you are not worshiped? What does that set up in the psyche?
