generation gap
This term describes a sociological phenomenon where a lack of mutual understanding exists between age groups. It carries a connotation of friction or alienation, often implying that the younger generation has adopted values or technologies that the older generation finds incomprehensible or objectionable.
While it can be used in a neutral academic sense to describe demographic shifts, in everyday conversation it usually highlights a specific conflict or a feeling of being "out of touch." It is frequently used to explain why parents and children struggle to communicate regarding social norms, politics, or digital culture.
