Why Is Generation Y Immature Over Machismo Of Gen Y

Why is generation y immature? Over machismo of gen Y?

Social and cultural changes - life expectancy rises, higher education became more accessible hence more enrolment. Social norm of Gen X was to start working straight out of high school, today knowledge and grad certificates mean more than physical skills, not necessarily a good thing, as it undermines the value of real world practice, but I'm merely stating the cultural trend.

Gen X's adolescence ends at 18, are expected to marry as soon as early 20s, Gen Y tend to attempt to pursue more individual development and career growth before settling down, generally in the early 30s, an entire decade's difference.

Again, cultural norms due to changes in socio-economic circumstances.

Gen Y is the least mature? Hundreds of thousands of young people flocked to join the army on the breakout of WWI, because they had a romanticised view of war and chivalry, only to be mauled down by machine guns in trenches. "Wanna-be fighters"? The grand-daddies of Al Capone's generations were the real gangsters.

Douchebaggery is commonplace not because of the generation, as if it's a "genetic trait" particular to Gen Y. You've got today's media and pop culture that nourishes these idiotic notions of "what is cool and what's not", influencing children from when they start middle school, as well as today's commercialised culture that glorifies in perfection - anorexic figures for women and oiled muscles for men, that anything less of these perceived perfection are frowned upon.

Don't blame Gen Y, blame the douchebags in Gen X that makes a killing off the profits of commercial culture!

And if you say social media is bad, I'll say it's making Gen Y more aware of global diversity and social problems. Gen X and those before were, and still are, notorious for rampant xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and a tonne of other phobias. I'm proud of this generation as more politically and socially aware, to be more engaged in fighting injustice and you know what? They knew of injustice from social media, and they're increasing awareness through social media.

Technology are culture are always going to evolve, maybe Gen Z will think you and I are conservative old-timers at some point.

No, I KNOW they will think of you and I as conservative old-timers.
