Seriously, this pissing and moaning about a younger generation not being proper clones of the elder has been going on and written down in every civilization that developed writing, formally and in graffiti.

Just be glad you escaped the regimented 1950s when as soon as a kid was born, s/he entered rigourous "training" that extended event to our hair.

Oh, and do buy that occasional coffee or candy bar or that new phone and take time to do absolutely nothing
