fan_eunice mentioned That thing I saw on Tumblr with the argument between kids born in the 80s and kids born in the 90s over whether the former are too 'old' to be on Tumblr and I said
I was just thinking, when my 19-year-old was home for winter break, that we don't have a generation gap like the baby boomers and their parents did, at least not over culture and our ideas of fun.
We like different things, of course; we're different people. But when we talk to each other about what we like, it isn't a different kind of conversation than I have with friends my own age. And when I murmur "Socially Awkward Penguin moment" to her she knows exactly what I mean.
What do you guys think? Is there a generation gap? Between you and older people, or you and younger people, or both? What is a generation gap anyway?
