I've always felt that my generation (I was born in 1981. Count anyone born 1981 or later as my generation) has had far more in common with its grandparents (The WW2 generation) than its parents.

That's not uncommon. Kids often think they have nothing in common with their parents.

Some rather smart people agree with me:

They also attempt to link Millennials to the G.I. generation, suggesting that "hero generations" come in cycles.

This generation really is different. We are literally sick unto death of the overpowering nihilism of our parents. We prefer the can-do attitude of the generation that won WW2. This generation will do all it can to fix the mess that the baby boomers made. If the boomers want to come along and help, they can. If not, then they need to get back and don't touch anything.
