“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room."

-Socrates

I do, however, agree with the spirit of quote; it's just that it started to become really applicable a few generations ago (or, depending on how you think of it, such a mentality was always a major current of colonized America, but it really gained cultural ascendency in the 70s as we ran out of easy ways to extract wealth while plausibly "improving" things).
