For some reason with Boomers the more upper class they are the more sociopathic they are but with Xers it's the opposite with the poorer Xers having more sociopathic traits. With Millennials the bullied outcasts or people on the fringes seem to become more sociopathic such as Adam Lanza or Elliot Rodger. Why do you think there's such a difference between which parts of each generation become sociopathic? In Boomers permissiveness and good times produce it but in Xers poverty and neglect produce it and in Millennials bullying, being different, being outcast, and alienation produce it. Or in contrast being very popular and well-liked. Social capital is important to Millennials so lack of social capital can drive someone off the edge and too much social capital can create a monster.
But once they reached midlife Boomers put the permissiveness and the good times behind them and initiated major crackdowns on such pathologies as public smoking, drunk driving, sexual harassment and underage drinking. Besides, except for the married women not returning to being homemakers, they pretty much became everything they criticized about their GI parents during their youth. A radical about-face to say the least.
