WASHINGTON --- Even millennials don't think much of their generation, according to a new poll Thursday. A Pew Research Center study showed that millennials — generally defined as those ages 18-34 — had far more negative views of their generation compared to Generation Xers, baby boomers or other age groups. More than half of millennials, 59 percent, described their generation as "self-absorbed," while almost half — or 49 percent — said they were "wasteful," and 43 percent said they were "greedy." Around 30 percent of Generation Xers — those ages 35-50 — said their own generation was self-absorbed and wasteful, and 20 percent of the baby boomers said the same about their age cohort. Millennials "stand out in their willingness to ascribe negative stereotypes to their own generation," the study said. The older the group, the more positively they saw themselves, the Pew study found. For example, the so-called "Silent Generation" — those ages 70-87 — overwhelmingly described themselves as hard-working, responsible and patriotic, at 83 percent, 78 percent and 73 percent respectively.
