Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A trope commonly from the period in which it was named, the 1960s. The Generation Gap is the idea that the psychological differences between the World War II generation and the Baby Boomers were so significant that they were incapable of understanding each other, and so were in conflict, often devolving into Kids Versus Adults. This mostly occurred because, at the time, the US was losing a lot of its British cultural baggage (thanks in no small part to the birth of Rock N' Roll). Specifically, the country was no longer looking to the royalty or high society for its influence and was instead looking to the rebels and non-conformists. Many World War II era adults disapproved of this (as did many Moral Guardians), so the generational gap became a widespread phenomenon. |
