I had a thought. The Baby-boomers were a reaction to the restrictive mindsets of the Greatest generation. The boomers went into a paroxysm of very public self-absorberey that has lasted for 50 years now. Generation X was a jaded reaction to the useless bullshit they saw from the Baby-boomers. The MTV generation (to me) seems to be a product of consumerism with a very public self-absorberey...
It seems to me that these attitudes are cyclical and skip one generation to show up again (in a slightly updated version) in the grandchildren.
