He's just reacting to being lumped in with negatives ascribed to his gen. He's right: narcissism, self-importance, & self-absorption is not unique to his gen, especially self-importance.
Horcrux, you're a bright fellow. It shouldn't surprise you that your vids & pics of yourself on the internet tend to support lumping you in to the 'youth self-exposure' pool. We see young people posting, "Here's me reacting to seeing a troll!", & we're left scratching our heads, thinking: one, 'why would I want to see this?', & two, 'why would they want to show this to the world?'. I know, that if you're practicing to be a film reviewer & performer of some sort, practice & feedback is important. Still, you'd have to admit, the volume of your gen's self-exposure far outstrips those practicing for careers.
To put that in context for you, our gen,
as a whole, seems to have had a much deeper sense of modesty & filial piety. When we were teens & early 20s, even if it were available, I seriously doubt we would have posted tons of pics, vids & info about ourselves on the internet, as we would have understood that as a realm for adults only.
As an example, one has to be a minimum of 35 years old to run for US president for a reason; & teens don't have the life experience to fully understand why that is. That's why most parents wouldn't let teens post certain things on the internet. You know what I mean?
