Actually, they are referred to more accurately as Generation whYne.

Mom, why can't I have Tommy Jeans
Mom, why do I have to drive this piece of crap Taurus
Mom, why can't I have more money for college.

Gen whYne has never even known a real recession. A lot of GenX can at least recall when dad was laid off (in 73, 74, 78, 80, 81, and 83), and when the government still gave out cheese and butter.

I'm not saying we had it hard economically, just harder than the boomers - at least for the working classes. The war generation gets kudo's for having a truely tough life, but then doing a crappy job raising their kids. Bunch of dope smoking hippies. GenX is fortunately much more conservative (liberatarian actually) then the boomers, it is our way of lashing out against flower power and free love.
