Daily: MIND THE AGE GAP – Why the War of the Generations is a myth

Does the year we were born really shape us people? Are Gen X Snowflakes really battling Baby Boomers in an intergenerational war? Friend of the podcast Professor Bobby Duffy returns with Ros Taylor to discuss his latest book Generations, why age cohorts aren’t so consistent, and how COVID has changed Gen Z forever…

• “The cliches around generations are presented as cohort characteristics. But Gen Z are more materialistic just because they’re young.”
• “It’s simply a myth that Gen Z are more risk averse.” 
• “Gen Z are probably having less sex because they're drinking less.”
• “Intergenerational separation - not conflict - is the problem.”
• “Gen X got a cool name, and some cool bands and films. That's about all we have going for us.”
