And yet, sometimes the criticism is warranted, and sometimes it's not. That's why it's good not to overgeneralize about patterns.

I think that’s unnecessary waffling. Of course there are exceptions, but the prejudiced negative views that the old and the young hold of each are generally wrong.

For example, the constantly recurring critique that the music of the young is not about musicality[1] is always wrong. It's as wrong today as it was about Elvis.
