What? The phrase itself is just a current meme, inspired by the recent boomer/zoomer memes. It is partially an ironic revenge against the "are millenials killing the economy?" type sentiments, and more generally used to say that the target has an old fashioned and self absorbed worldview: resisting social change, blaming younger generations for societal issues or trivializing their problems. This is nothing new, the "crazy uncle/racist grandma at christmas dinner" is a very much a thing people already talked about years ago. So the behaviour against the younger generation was already unfriendly (and has been so since forever [1]), and the only thing that has changed for the older generation is that someone says "okay" to them and proceeds to ignore them. That is hardly "the End of Friendly Generational Relations".
