Speaking as an older Millenial (by some measures), I'm fairly confident that "relatively happy socialites" has never been more than just a self-justifying projection by older generations.

Perhaps our poor situation is just so obvious that, instead of mostly complaining, we're mostly fully resigned or preoccupied with fixing things in our own way. We are more Hero generation than Nomad, after all (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generatio...).
