malaise: is a state in which there is smtg wrong with society and people feel dissatisfied or unhappy but do not know exactly what is wrong.
'the self-indulgent introspection which was so much the malaise of my generation.' and still is.

The fuzzy background adds to your interpretation of the state you mention. I didn't know what this state was called by the way - thanks, I'm probably going to use it a lot, hehe.
