Summary/Abstract: This material deals with the topic of the “millennial snowflake” generation, whose corollary inRomanian 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 bothpositive and negative aspects. The aim is to establish whether and to what extent the traits of thisgeneration, are closer to the area of advantages or disadvantages.
