These generational cliches have always irritated me. I haven't had more than a couple of interactions, over the years, that implied a significant generational difference that fit the stereotypes.The idea that I would/should have substantially different interactions with different generations based on their birth decade is both demeaning and dehumanizing.
Every 18-year-old I've met is in a state of ascending and variegating capacity; every 60-year-old I know is in a state of declining and narrowing capacity. Life progresses toward an inevitable end. It may not be rigidly sequential, but it does follow an obvious pattern. No wonder that it manifests in work, culture, and government.

Wasn't the generational divide created by marketers?

So funny we now have to be reeducated to have common sense that's not so common.
