[[Noam Chomsky]] criticized the concept of the "Me Generation" as being illegitimate and that it was motivated by a political agenda:
<blockquote>Where did that come from? What was the evidence that that was a fact? I think the evidence was 0. Teenagers had to be indoctrinated by saying 'You people are only interested in yourselves, you live in a culture of narcissism, you're the me generation'. Now every single teenager knows perfectly well that that's not true of ''me'' - but you're targeting people who are at a delicate stage of life, they don't quite know who they are... if they're different they think, 'Maybe there's something wrong with me, maybe I ought to be like everyone else'.<ref>{{Citation |title=Noam Chomsky interviewed by Canadian journalists at round table, 1988 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjIZEIDxFGc |access-date=2024-02-15 |language=en}}</ref></blockquote>
