My view is that generations really don't matter. It is mostly about the individual and each unique circumstance. The one difference is that now with social media, it is very easy to amplify your feelings and reach millions, as the author does in this article. In the old days, pre internet, the only way to amplify was mass protest and a mass cause. Boomers did each i.e. the Vietnam protests, and Earth Day. Every "generation" has some cause to "blame" a previous generation. It is just a question as whether each person wants to use that blame as a crutch or excuse.
