You claim to be gen x, but regardless, crap like this is why OK Boomer is now a thing. Y'all need to start listening.

Maybe this is an aside, but it raises an interesting point. There is an historicism which deals with this a little. It used to be ( probably over a 100 years ago now) parents would tell their children what to expect from the world, and they would more or less be correct. Their children would be living in a world that was very similar to their parents. This is no longer the case. Things change so rapidly that a parent can hardly tell their child what their life will be like.
Baby Boomers have a lot of life experience and knowledge. The issue is that this knowledge is about a world that no longer exists. Millennials to a degree were raised in a world of unknowns. The generations after are even more out of touch with the world that boomers know having not experienced a little of it in their youth. The generational gap has never been larger.
