"filthy hippie", etc.

but not "filthy boomer" or "filthy gen-xer"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X … "they were dubbed the “MTV Generation” and characterized as slackers and as cynical and disaffected"

I suspect some 30-40 somethings have always said similar things of early 20 somethings. At one point this was said of the boomers.

In the 90s (iirc) the stereotype was the slacker. I don't recall anyone accusing my generation of being entitled ...
