I kind of like your summarizations, but the Millennials have not been saying nothing, although many have reached an age where they’ve given up hope. Do you not remember Occupy Wall Street? We started ramping things up, and now Gen Z seems very happy to take over and keep pushing.
Each generation is in some way an extension of the previous one. It can be a good thing, like in this case.
As a millennial I think we tried to follow the life plan set out by boomers that was sabotaged by boomers, realized it didn’t work, tried to change it, failed, then lowered our ambitions and are now just trying to survive while making things at least a little bit better.
Kinda hate “quiet quitting” you mean, doing exactly your job and nothing more because employers no longer care to promote from within, develope skillsets, or compensate fairly? When working harder smarter and better doesn’t advance your career, why do it?

That sounds completely spot-on. Doesn’t help that we were “guaranteed” their formula would work for us and then it didn’t, at all.
