generational divide
Cohort worldview clash
A generational divide is a significant difference in attitudes, values, or experiences between age groups—typically between older and younger generations.
The phrase often appears in discussions of politics, technology, or cultural shifts: There's a generational divide on climate change.
Unlike a generation gap, which suggests mutual incomprehension, generational divide emphasizes disagreement or opposition.
