That's true. It was silly when they complained about Elvis dancing, then it progressed to drugs, music etc. and now has progressed further. Old people do complain, and the behavior they complain about has gotten more "free." As you move down that path, eventually you get to a place where the complaints have merit. When you start talking about people getting hurt, jumped, shot, sexaully assaulted etc., you have reached that place. Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, but it is happening and people are more at risk of making poor decisions in places like the spring break spots where they get caught up in the crowds.

Well so far they have been right, each generation gets progressively more incapable and depraved.

If you want to play the generational warfare game, you will probably lose. Just look at America today. Certainly ain't my fault.
No the boomers gave birth to yours and instilled in it the same narcisism they have.

I thought the student's response was cute and in no way a "temper tantrum."

I don't think Hannity is old enough to be from the Woodstock generation/Baby Boomers. That's my parents generation, and they are in their mid to late 60s. I would guess Hannity is more around 50.

I went to Panama City every year for Spring Break. I didn't see the Hannity story, but my understanding is that it has gotten much worse since my college days. Tons of drugs, fights, arrests, etc. This year seven people were shot in one night. And the MS State quarterback was jumped by some thugs. When I went, it was just a bunch of college kids drinking on the beach.

I would guess you are very young if you think Hannity is a Baby Boomer.
Hannity was born in 1961, which actually does make him a boomer, since that particular generation is widely considered to span from post war 1946 to 1964. But that's all a technicality.

The point is, his program is appealing to the boomer generation's lizard brain when it does sensationalist segments about millennials partying on the beach, taking drugs, and having risky sex. It's very silly stuff, and isn't behavior that most young people in this country would fall in to. Millenials certainly didn't invent the art of debauchery, though people tend to have pretty short memories and would prefer to picture their grandmothers and grandfathers as living in some Norman Rockwell world, standing over a stove and making oatmeal raisin cookies in their aprons
