Elders have complained about the impetus of youth for longer than the boomers.

"The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint ... As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behaviour and dress." - Peter the Hermit, 1274

Those quotes are made up, though I didn't mean it couldn't have happened before, but in recent history. It was obviously not expected then and their parents had no idea how to deal with it.
