Discourse and counter-discourse on the “Snowflake-Millennial”/“Me Generation”/“Egocentric Generation”

This material deals with the topic of the “millennial snowflake” generation, whose corollary in Romanian is “egocentric generation”. Specialized studies characterize them as lonely, hypersensitive, and fearful. In this article, I trace the lines of discourse and counter-discourse, highlighting both positive and negative aspects. The aim is to establish whether and to what extent the traits of this generation, are closer to the area of advantages or disadvantages.
