I think a large part of it has to do with children. Or the lack thereof. I think everyone goes through this, but our generation is the first where it was really accepted to not have kids right away. In fact, even expected that you won't until at least mid to late 20s. Our parents and all before them had children to look after. And children change your life. So it was different. We have this void, and nothing to fill it, or distract from it.
