What do you guys think about this psychological analysis of the Baby Boomer generation?

I don't personally belong to this generation but I find Gen X insights interesting and this is my favorite generation sub to lurk occasionally. Most of you were raised by Boomers (though some of you were raised by Silent Gen parents) so I'm curious what you guys think of this Millenial TikTok influencer's perception on the Baby Boomer generation's trauma and disillusionment. Refreshingly, his evaluation is not just an enforcement of negative stereotypes, agism, or personal bias, but rather analyzes them as a collective, in good faith. Arguing: they are a generation who had a uniqely complicated upbringing and entered a far more prosperous world in adulthood than they and their parents ever expected (or prepared) them to expect/experience and that in turn confused them; and skewed their perception on prosperity and baked in them entitlement and a false sense of "working hard pays off" they can't see the flaw in as they were rewarded a lot for their struggles and received what they earned - and since things were rigged in their favor they believe that means the system isn't rigged at all and/or never was.
