younger-generation
Those coming after
Younger-generation functions as an adjective describing people, things, or attitudes associated with those who came after an older cohort: younger-generation voters, younger-generation technology.
The term is relative—what counts as the younger generation depends on who's speaking.
It often carries connotations of newness, change, or unfamiliarity with older ways.
