well they've always been know as the "Me" generation so it makes sense they would say that about themselves

They experienced the beginning of the internet and computers becoming a main part of people's lives

They experienced the height of the cold war and experienced genuine concern for nuclear armageddon

They experienced the end of the cold war and a few years of peace

They experienced the beginning of grunge, hip hop music, heavy metal, MTV , and the peak of Michael Jackson

They experienced 9/11, the dot com bubble burst, the housing crash of 2008, the pandemic of 2020

They lived under the thumb of the silent generation and the boomer generation dominating politics for their entire life (as we all still do today) so there voice was never really heard.

Remember that these CEO's are the ones (along with their pay-for talking heads in the media) that will, with the zeal and energy of a pentecostal minister on crack, tell us all that socialism will destroy innovation, reward the lazy, and put a bigger burden on the middle class tax payer. All while doing everything their bank accounts can do to build a system where they get more and more of our tax money - because of reasons.
