This is a long article but I found the bits I have read so far by cherry picking really interesting
especially this
'For one thing, generational divisions aren’t what they were. People my age and people my parents’ age wore different clothes, listened to different music, ate different food, lived differently and had totally different attitudes to questions of gender and sexuality. The defining experience of their youth was the second world war. The defining experience of ours was the fall of the Berlin Wall. They had different expectations about material comfort. Neither of my parents were brought up in houses with running water or electricity. The equivalent divides between generations we’re experiencing now are much smaller. We like the same clothes, music and food, and have a similar sense of what to expect from the basic material amenities of life. The one area where there is a particular division is around gender identity – and that, I think, is one reason that debate is particularly heated. It’s not that the two generations don’t agree about anything. It’s that we agree about pretty much everything else'
