Millennials and Gen Z are golden boys. In the sense that they spend a lot

No, they’re not all similar to certain six foot and ninety big bullies who let their mommy defend them against beastly angry fans. They are not all enfants gâtés, as the French call them, or big babies as the late Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa said with a flicker of sincerity. No, it’s also thanks to them that the great pandemic didn’t become a great recession, it’s thanks to their consumption and their tinkering if the technological revolution doesn’t stop transforming our lives. We need to look without blinders at the Millennials and at Generation Z itself which is replacing them. So, “The world saved by the kids” like the book of poems that Elsa Morante published in the over-mythologized Sixty-eight? Since then, the generation of rebirth, born before 1946, has died out, the protesting Baby Boomers have passed, Generation X, that of hedonism, is scrambling for retirement, we have all aged in this Europe of the last man for the which politicians are chasing after the “grey panthers”. But precisely for this reason some verses taken from the “Song of the Happy Few and the Unhappy Many” still speak to us.
