It’s so, so, so, so dumb. Like a cliche of getting older is you hate young people and then every damn generation goes “maybe WE are right about it”

As Gen X, I think the only appropriate response is “I don’t care.” 😂

Yikes, funny how the nonsense jumps out even more strongly when one (me) is at the age in question. So much of this seems to come down to "young people bother me" and/or "I worry about my kids." I get the latter but the former always baffles me.

I was out walking after dark once and came across a group of teenagers. I was hesitant to pass them because I was worried about what they were up to (you know you're old when...). Uno. They were playing Uno.

Young people always do the best they can given the current mess. Oh, maybe that's the answer: "young people bother me because if I take their troubles seriously they make me think of the mess I've helped create and I don't wanna."

It’s almost as if it’s possible to conflate cohort effects and age effects.
