This is why I hate how media tries to stir up ‘this generation vs that’, and I refuse to fall prey to it. I’m 40 and I have so much respect for younger generations trying to make it now. It’s still hard enough for me and I can’t imagine how much harder it is for them.

Also, even if I don’t get the stuff they’re into, that’s ok because the generations before me don’t get the stuff I’m into. People seem to get older and forget they were at one time considered the ‘lazy’ ones who liked ‘dumb’ stuff.

Literally every single generation we have records of. Hell, there were ancient Romans (and I mean ANCIENT) who wrote about how their 'cultural values' were in decline compared to the older generations. And this was BEFORE Rome was even an empire, this was back in the B.C.E.s
