Brattitude and queries

Just heard this expression/phrase. Thought I'd share. The reference was to a member of the hip-hop generation.

Being someone just a shade younger than the Woodstock generation, I find myself wondering if the kids currently in their 20s are any more immature, impudent, obdurate, or sarcastic than previous generations of young people. Must say I find this question as interesting to contemplate as the phrase -- maybe more so. - Patty

I try not to generalize, as members of each generation vary. Still, I think young people now are more pessimistic than young people back then; they have less reason to believe the future will improve on the present. And every time I see a query posted here that looks like this:

what does this word mean????!!!! need help please!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't avoid thinking "Teenager."
