I think the youth has a lot to do with it, more so than the industry. I live in DC, and there is a stark contrast between buildings with 20 somethings and buildings with older residents (the 20 something are split between a 5% that give tons and a 95% that do fuck all, while the older residents on general give far more on the aggregate.)

Just living in a building with 20 somethings shows that they are much more self-involved, no matter what industry you are in. The typical giving 30 something was probably the same way in their 20's.
