What does the increasingly obedient nature of teenagers mean?

[Torie]

I guess they are called Generation Z, and per the metric of the book Generations (the four generational types repeat themselves), they would be a repeat of the Silent Generation, which was supposedly obedient (and payed the price having skipped being rebellious as youths, by being unusually susceptible to a mid-life crisis). Your mileage may vary, but I thought I would mention it.

So Millennials are the Greatest Generation?

Correct, or what the book Generations called the GI Generation.
