As many people have said here, millennials in particular, are highly educated and generally more democratic. The "I have more experience" or "I have high expectations" card just doesn't play very well anymore. It's almost ridiculous to hear that from a Baby Boomer who can't even save a Word doc to a pdf.
Speaking personally, as a Millennial at a fairly senior-level position, my stance with management and people that I manage is to meet me halfway and then we can figure out how to go from there. It is far more beneficial and productive to spend a bit of time figuring out how different types of people work and integrating that style into a process or product.

Funny that you say that as a "younger" Baby Boomer analyst, I regularly spend time helping out other Baby Boomers, Millenials and GenZ with new technology so I don't think it has anything to do with generations but just your background, neighborhood, IQ, your nature, schooling, parents, etc
As for the experience stuff, when I was younger, I did not understand it fully but boy oh boy do I do now! It has more to do with seeing the evolution of things that work or don't work in your sector of activity.

Conclusion: Healthy communication goes a long way.
