Most people do not feel ready for an adult life when they should be. Gen X will literally never understand this, they seem to not comprehend or be able to imagine the issue.
Not all of us... but I noticed after college too that there were many things about the world neither parents nor school/college nor media prepared us for.

Yeah, Greta is unusual for an Artist, which she should be... she comes along a bit like the early Lisa Simpson, as described in 4th Turning: A poster child of the Millennials.
In Europe, I haven't seen many Millies like S&H describe them. One millennial I knew better became a drug dealer. OK, he might have been an exception.
