generational conflict
Youth versus elders
Generational conflict is tension or disagreement between age groups, typically framed as younger versus older generations clashing over values, priorities, or cultural norms.
The conflict may be personal—teenagers fighting with their parents—or societal, as when commentators pit millennials against baby boomers over economics or politics.
Much generational conflict is manufactured or exaggerated by media, though real differences in experience and worldview do exist between cohorts.
