so I was thinking about
how the Millennials, Xennials, Xers
and whoever comes nexters
were fighting with the Boomers
or is that just in Australia
and I wondered if
it was a media beat-up
a political stunt
to distract
from the real issues of inequality
and then I thought
or
is it as old as time
for the younger gen
to fight
against the ancient ones
wanting to usurp and change?

I think everything is a fucking distraction from the challenge of climate change! My poor 17 yr old son can’t BELIEVE the politicians aren’t making better choices for him and his generation…
Yeah, it’s depressing
“Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door.”

Oh gosh i haven’t heard that song in years! Nice
Your post was poignant. I try to bear in mind generational differences before I go off on the younger folks. I don’t want to start a conversation with “When I was your age” or “Back in my day, we….” 🙂
I think it’s a little bit of both, and it happens over here in the States too.
