    They were always shitting on teens doing anything even remotely individualistic and constantly talking about being humble. That’s how I viewed my parents and grandparents generations between 90s and circa 2010.

      That’s never actually about humility though, that’s about enforcing heirarchy. Dear Leader gets to be as arrogant as he wants, the kids deserve to get slapped into “their place.”

      The CEOs get their gold toilets, the prosperity gospel preachers their fleets of luxury cars, and the peons are to be humble and obedient.
