From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

When I was 21, this book came out: Generation X Goes To College

https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Goes-College-Eye-Opening-Postmodern/dp/0812693140

"It tells how the author, a journalist turned college professor, came face to face with Generation X: jaded, unachieving, highly demanding yet lacking any respect for standards or intelligence. These insouciant scholars wore bored looks, ample attitudes, and reversed baseball caps. They expected to earn top grades by just showing up in class, which they interrupted with their portable TVs, cellular phones, or personal pagers."

So yes, we tend to roll our eyes when people complain about "kids these days" because we heard exactly the same. Every generation says that about the youth. It's just human nature.

Now get off my lawn.

Well there was Generation X Goes To College:

For his own survival as a teacher, Sacks decided to play a bizarre, cynical game: The Sandbox Experiment, in which he catered to the whims of his students as though they were kindergartners. It worked"

Generation X Goes To College by Peter Sacks, 1999:

"It tells how the author, a journalist turned college professor, came face to face with Generation X: jaded, unachieving, highly demanding yet lacking any respect for standards or intelligence. These insouciant scholars wore bored looks, ample attitudes, and reversed baseball caps.

Yeah, not that much has changed.
