I appreciate the response, but this is exactly the viewpoint I'm trying to evaluate. Yes, every generation has good/bad. That in no way means that each generational conflict is roughly equivalent. I mean, I don't think MY generation faced this level of hostility and blame from the older generations, so at least one example is subjectively/anecdotally different.

But ultimately, anecdotes != data. I want data.

I remember the 90s when GenX could do no right and worse things were blamed on GenX than Millenials have had to deal with.
Those are not my recollections. Yes, we GenXers had "oh, what will we do with them" articles, but the tone and acrimony were different, and faded quickly once GenXers hit 30, whereas the Millenials are definitely into their 30s and the tone is only getting more bitter, not less. YMMV, of course.
