Which US cities have the highest percentage of twentysomethings that exhibit the following sociological characteristics:
-Abnormally high levels of narcissism and self-centeredness
-Irrational superiority complex regarding their own age groups as well as those in other age groups
-Severe overestimation of the intrinsic value of their own ideas compared to those in society and in previous generations
-Deep and unrealistic sense of entitlement
-Refute and/or resist older generations value to society (unless they have monetary or power value)
-Low levels of emotional intelligence or emotional maturity
-High levels of denial/low-levels of acceptance when confronted with the an aggregate perception of mediocrity in their societal production (as evaluated by multi-generational peers)
Some other characteristics could be:
-Obsessive social networking tendencies
-Learning behavioral and intellectual cues from the media, Hollywood, soundbites, and twitter summaries (as opposed to reading books - hard copy or electronic - and learning technical and detailed analytical techniques).
My top 5 choices are:
Washington DC
Washington DC suburbs
Manhattan
San Francisco
Silicon Valley
Yes, I work at a Law Firm.
Yes, we are currently terminating their employment.
West Side (Los Angeles) falls heavily into this category, getting cut off in traffic by some 21 year old in a Ferrari while he's texting, people paying nearly a thousand dollars for jeans with holes in them so they can appear Hollywood dressed down.

Funny, I was just going to say that it sounded like you described the associates at *my* DC law firm. LOL
I think those characteristics comprise a generational (not geographical) profile. The stereotypes about the Midwest - which are generally the opposite of what you've profiled, for example, are not true among this latest young-adult generation. I would say that many of the suburbs of Chicago fit your description to a "T".
Working at a law firm has a lot to do with your perceptions.
Law and software fields have a high percentage of such people. Its more about industry and not city.
