Thanks for bringing this up. All 'generational discourse' is written by lazy journalists as a quick way to get people emotionally invested in an article without having to do actual research, and without the possibility of being proven wrong about their vague claims. I find it particularly annoying because it's also an example of prejudicial ingroup/outgroup formation based on demagoguery. I'd go as far as saying it shares some of the same elements of racism-based demagoguery, but the targets are vague enough that it doesn't cause the same extreme social problems that racism does.
