You're seeing that in Gen X'ers? The generation that grew up on their own, surviving on their own, leaving in the morning and wandering the town all day on our bikes and managing to eat, survive and navigate life at like 8 years old.

Sure you arent talking about others when it comes to the no goals and needing to be hand held? The moral decay hit us, we certainly weren't as innocent as what the 50's have been described to me, but thats about the only thing on your list that you could point a finger at Gen X for. What you describe is a millennial. Sounds like you know some broken Gen X'ers, probably from a big city in California or something.
