This is how it should be because it allows you to hear many different perspectives. So that way, when you say something like "These damn kids today", it's coming from a place of experience instead of ignorance. 😋
Yes, and honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way. The best places I have worked enjoyed a happy mix of ages, backgrounds, and gender expressions. The worst were anything but. I firmly believe we're better people when in groups like this; I have no idea why.
For younger, you can learn more real world skills from your older friends. For older, you can keep a fresh perspective on life and keep up with the social issues that young people are facing. Ultimately making both ages have stronger and more rounded life experiences

Having to update every year is a real chore. I just do it by hair length: "buzz", "curly", "cueball", "alpaca", "pubes", etc.

And having friends up and down the age range is a good thing - and more likely to happen at work then school etc. The meme kind of hints that’s bad?

I'd say it just says it is what it is, but it ain't like that anywhere else
