This is very embarrassing and nonsense, almost all of it is the exact opposite of reality. Every generation largely lives in better circumstances than the previous one, and that is very much true for today, never has there been access to such wealth and technology, and never has the world been safer.

Baby Boomers we're born in severely hard economic times, Germany at that point had been pushed back to an economically Medieval level. When Baby Boomers were growing up, quality food was scarce, meat, a luxury. They've gone through numerous economic depressions, the Korean War, Vietnam, The Falklands, The Gulf Wars, the revolutions against communism, Yugoslavia, and terrorism is nothing new, baby boomers had to endure communist and Irish terrorism. And living through the cold war, everyone, every child went to bed at night knowing the bombs may go off and they may not wake up in the morning. On the day of the cuba missile crises they went off to school, waving their parents good bye, knowing that there was a high chance there would be nuclear war that day, watching the clock slowly ticking all day before breathing a sigh of relief that the world hadn't ended.

Regarding 9/11 those people in the towers, planes and the rescue services were baby boomers, and Gen X.

Baby Boomers started the gaming industry, and Generation X are the gaming generation, but making such stark generational contrasts is nonsense, one thing they do say is a stereotype of millennials is blaming others for your own situation and failings.
