    Now, generations are a made up social construct. And I think most people would find they have more in common with working class boomers than they do with the rich their own age.

    That said society changes very fast now. There are big differences in how 17 year olds now and 17 year olds 50 years ago were raised and socialised. And age is more than just a number. We’ll always discriminate against the young or the old in professional etc contexts because there’s just some jobs that are more suited to the young or that we don’t trust someone very young to have enough experience to do.
