Honestly to an extent : yes. I've had the same thoughts as you do. I am lucky because I don't have any student debt but the other points still hurt. Housing (like owning a house not renting) especially. I've been told many times "yeah you probably will never own your own house". The internet creates a "negativity echo chamber" in my opinion.
Glorified view of boomer life is very true. A lot of the hate towards boomers strikes to me as simple jealousy. They had it better. I'd say the glorification is more so on the right than the left (nuclear family yada yada etc).
LMAO no, that wealth is gonna go to healthcare when they inevitably get cancer or need constant care and are milked for every nickel and dime they got. Not gonna address marriage or dating. I am fortunate to have my dad who's tried really hard to make my mother tone down the helicopter parent stuff but it can be stifling.
QoL has actually gone down in recent years. A bunch of it is, the rest is just pity porn and self loathing.
I also blame the media to some extent for fueling the economic doomerism narrative of millenials (and now zoomers). There was a recent thread here about how Millenials aren't actually that behind Boomers in terms of home ownership these days, and the student loan debt crisis isn't actually as bad as many would make you think. I feel like adding in some optimism would be good because this sort of pessimism can genuinely have an impact on people's mental health and make them feel like they're screwed even if they're not, so it creates hopelessness which may lead to thigns like less risk taking.
Parenting and how we raise children is something that will need greater cultural change. This is anecdotal but from my experience you have this imbalance where young people have disproportionate political and social awareness from a young age compared to past generations, but I think less real world experiences (i.e. first jobs, romantic relationships, general social skills, ect), and are also less aware of themselves. This is hard to measure though because I wasn't alive when boomers were at this age, but looking at data and ancedotes, this is the sense I get. At my high school, the average person probably has the educational smarts well above the average boomer when they were our age, but might only be comparable to a 14 or 15 years old Boomer in real world experiences that develop independence and character. I think this contributes to the rising levels of mental health issues and the general sense of unpreparedness we have about the larger world
THIS! EXACTLY THIS! I am more "book smart" but I'm like a 15 year old boomer... Its weird.
