I don't know. It just looks like a language thing, to me. If a word or two were changed it'd be the same as any generation; all kids feel "entitled" to some degree, more for some kids, less for others, but they all want stuff and always have, no matter what they say about that now that they're older.
"Dog gone it, no car for my b-day. Oh well, to heck with dad."
"Phooey, no private phone line of my own, again! Darn it! My parents are so square!"
..etc.
