The article is oddly passive aggressive about the topic. Instead of going into the nuances of why this occurs and what might be expected if this trend continues (which is what an unbiased reader might expect from the title), the author instead veers a sharp left turn and starts ranting about how the newer generation is too dependent on their parents for monetary support and how the parents need to stop supporting their children.
I also find the data to be oddly presented, since the data lumps all people between ages 18 to 30 together. People in their teens and early 20’s have a high chance of living with their parents due to studying in college. It makes me wonder if the author specifically lumped these people into a single group to try to skew the data in favor of their awkwardly anti-millenial stance.
Any time older generations complain about newer ones, I remind them the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD IS A PRODUCT OF THEIR MAKING
And if they push back against that they just get a “children can’t vote or make businesses and you’re a fucking idiot if you can’t understand that the chicken CANNOT COME BEFORE THE EGG”
The ageism is so weird on lemmy. In other threads folks talk about it as if boomers are all moochers stealing from their children by reverse mortgaging homes or asking for handouts out. But when an article points out the generosity they have it more blame that they screwed the young generation as well. Also ,there’s a lot of older folks that didn’t vote Republican, yet lemmy communities seem to think they are 100 percent R.
I think there is also some blame on the millennial generation. Who invented the social media cess pool that has helped reinforce and polarize the right to weird new extremes and have that to a less tech savvy generation?
I hope you see the irony here that you’re complaining about people on Lemmy overgeneralizing, yet in the same breath you overgeneralize about the people on Lemmy
Generalizing a subset of folks that is Lemmy users is nowhere in scale like generalizing an entire generation. Lemmy users skew in certain demographics and political leanings due to the nature of the Reddit backlash, FOSS advocates, etc.

Sounds more like a sharp right turn to me.
I think that’s connected to the study linked in the article where the “emerging adulthood” category is defined.
