Doubtful. The boomers are uniquely self serving as a group and have a sort of cruelty brain rot bug that may or may not be lead poisoning.
Many are obsessed with entrenching themselves within institutions, creating a poor work life balance (while blaming the rest of us for not sacrificing as much) leading to fragile interpersonal relationships that are centered around ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ rather than creating a meaningful sense of community.
Most younger generations blame boomers for having a good life and then promptly shutting the door in their children’s faces.
We have survived 500,000 years as a species because past generations cared about the world they left behind for their descendants. Boomers, instead, are collectively focussed on enriching themselves by putting our future at risk as collateral.
As a generation, they will not be remembered well. Many of us wish they would simply step aside so we can fix the mess they’ve propogated.
Tl;dr: There is more to this than the usual young vs old dynamic.
Am old, remember feeling the same as you youngsters. The sad fact is a lot of people are bad, and usually when they get older they become worse either through mental decay, denial of being bad parents, a constant physical pain built up over the years, etc etc
The only way to fix the system is to burn it to the ground. But funny thing is, everyone wimps out
I think Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are or will be better, especially with regard to parenting self awareness, but the reality is boomers have left us with a world where having children is financially unfeasible so it won’t matter. But we can follow up in a few decades and see where things are at. I think Boomers will certainly be remembered a certain way (collectively).

My experience makes me feel that members of each generation in power is a hindrance to younger generations.
