older
This term typically describes a relative difference in age between two people or things. It carries a neutral tone, though when used as "the older generation," it can imply a shift in values or a lack of familiarity with modern technology.
In social contexts, referring to someone as "older" is generally safer and more polite than calling them "old," as it emphasizes a comparison rather than a state of decline or fragility.
