Rub a dub dub
I don't have any stories to offer, but it seems there's a lot of judgement being passed on an entire group of people largely based on anecdotes and preconceptions.

I think the whole "parents' basement" thing closely correlates to the rising income inequity and phenomenon of the shrinking middle-class. My guess is that with the abundance of consumer goods and the consequent mentality that's formed that the SA generation (because let's be honest, we're pretty much all millennials here whether we like or not) is by want or necessity spending an inordinately high amount of income on non-essentials. Obviously this is nothing earth-shattering and--I would go so far as to say--expected from a generation that enjoys more material wealth than every previous period of history put together, but I think it goes a long way towards explaining the current ills.
