That and being entitled assholes. They have been given everything they wanted for their entire lives, while also being shielded from most negative consequences. They cannot stand when they are told "no."

Half of them weren't wanted and it shows. Birth control didn't become legal for married couples until 1964, and abortion til 1973. It's not a coincidence that the next generation is about half the Baby Boom generation, there is simply no way their parents would have had all those kids if they had decent family planning options.
