Yet they don't rebel the way boomers and Xers did.
What exactly do you consider rebelling?
From Wikipedia:
The youth of the 2010s were called the "best-behaved generation on record." In May 2014, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported that teenage pregnancies and their uses of drugs and alcohol reached record lows.[600] A 2013 survey showed that the rate of teen smoking dropped to 15.7%, the rate of teenagers having unprotected sex dropped to 34% and the rate of teenagers participating in a physical fight dropped to 25%, much lower than their counterparts 22 years earlier.
Speaking about political attitudes, millennials seem to prefer security to freedom. Their demand is "safe spaces", both emotionally and physically.
Quote:My attitude is I can opt out of anything I don't personally like. I don't need to rebel against the music scene because I have the internet for example to search for whatever I want. My attitude is also to either show me respect or I will be extremely belligerent and immature. If I don't like a culture I withdraw from it and save myself while the others drown and then kick and scream when someone wants to force me to face it. What generational attitude do I have?
Artistic, like the Silent generation. Of course, you have all sorts of people in all generations, just in different proportions.
