((((YOU)))) must be new here.

No, what you're experiencing seems to be the usual case of adults in their 20s.  It is a phase and they should grow out of it sometime around age 30.  The question really should be have we made society so toxic that Millies will have arrested development (though perhaps not to the degree of their largely boomer parents, thank Christ) and not grow out of the desire to be perceived to be virtuous rather than being virtuous.

I will say this though, a focus on social media doesn't help.  I suspect that you're experiencing late adolescent behavior in your 20 y/o.  My 17 y/o is similar though he has less patience for social media (probably because he's busy developing an actual life [according to my son one can either have an actual life, that is to say "IRL", or a virtual life, that is to say "on social media", but one cannot have both at the same time]).  Trust me, being lectured as to why designer leather shoes are superior to knock off leather shoes is what I'm dealing with.  Fortunately he has a job so he's spending his own money and not mine.

At least he's not wearing skinny jeans, which men should never wear, ever.
