The vast majority of the time, old people whom the young think are "out of touch" are actually speaking from hard-won experience. Ignore them at your peril, because they are usually correct and the young are usually wrong.
Every generation thinks they figured things out and the youngsters should listen to them this time. It never happens and it's probably a good thing. I don't think any age range has a monopoly on being right or wrong, just different biases.
Old age and treachery beat youth and skill every time:
