I can assure you that the current generation has the same (or more) of the entitlement and consumer mentality. They just have more options to spend their money on, and darn it if Apple keeps coming out with new iPhones.
Portland is where young people go to retire. There are scores of 20-30 somethings working part-time barista jobs and living with 5 other people. They can't afford a car, and convince themselves that a bicycle is all they need. Then they ask their environmentally clueless friend to borrow their vehicle.
It works for a while, but eventually a car is needed to facilitate our consumer and traveling lifestyle.
