Is it typical for adjacent generations to not know each other all that well?
#1
Like if we centre on Millennial, would it be expected that Millennials don't know many X or Zoomer/Homeland all that well but know plenty of Boomers via family, school teachers/principals, bosses at work? I was wondering as in my circle growing up, I have older X cousins that never visited us whereas the Millennial ones did very often. Maybe it's not a wider thing at all & just my family dynamic?

It would be weird for a late-wave Xer not to know some early-wave Millennials, or vice versa. But a person born in 1970 might know very few people born in 1990. They are too young to be his friends or romantic interests and too old to be his children.

Today's Millennials have largely forgotten what the Boomers discovered in the sixties and seventies about human potential and spirituality. But many of the Boomers are given up on teaching these things too.

The person born in 1970 would be the aunt or uncle of someone born in 1990.
