Although, in truth, my actual response was regarding the 'asshats who

differentiation. In my experience, the bad behavior often assigned to
a particular generation transcends actual ages.

One I found amusing was a opinion piece in a paper making all the normal claims of how the younger generation was lazy, unintelligent, would be the downfall of society etc. The catch ... it was a hundred years old.
Are there differences, yes but as you say they aren't as pronounced as many people make out and a lot of them would previously have been made against the generation that is now making the complaints. Probably the only one that I think should be taken seriously is what social media, in particular influencers, is doing to opinion forming for younger generations. Do we really want swathes of people thinking that the likes of Andrew Tate make some good points and he's a intellectual?
