Are you out of step with your generation, in thinking, 'philosophy' and politics?

We are bound to have more in common with our own generation , but I can still agree with the older generation at times grin anyone of 85 say.Probably those of a generation below me as well,but doubtful about teens and twenties.However, it does depend what subject is up for discussion.

Not everyone in each generation is 'in step' with each other surely?

Sometimes I agree with my peers, sometimes not, sometimes I agree with 40 or 50 year olds - are they the younger generation or do you mean teens and twenties?

Are you saying you think you're more in tune with these young people than your peers, granjura?

I don't feel out of step with any generation - I might be sometimes with one or the other, but not consisently.

I'm not sure it would concern me if I were out of step with my generation, or indeed out of step with any group of people. Mainly because I expect to be out of step with lots of groupthink, always.

Following several conversations with many young people this Summer- and the conclusion they all came to- I am wondering?
