That has happened before, you call them Generation X and the nominal adults were the Baby Boom Generation. So far the Boomers in general still aren't competent.
I would argue that Boomers by and large aren't adults either.
No kidding. Generation X had little choice but to grow up and get competent because otherwise it didn't end well. I can tell you from personal experience that the government sponsored youth internment camps seemed to be lying to us most of the time.
