It's simple. They grew up in a world where they could work hard, have a second home, multiple cars, man toys, etc. They were rewarded very well for their hard work. They were also optimistic about their future. Things looked up, like they were getting better. We are in a world where you work your ass off and maybe you can afford a nicer apartment and some shit box car but all you can afford to do is play video games and watch TV. We are pessimistic. Everything is getting worse, even without talking about jews or whatever, technology is getting worse, updates and new versions of almost everything are worse than the older ones, quality of life is getting worse. I imagine most of us are in our 30s, some of us probably made more money 15 to 20 years ago while also not having as many, or any bills.
