I understand that, but as you say, "there's a fairly large
intersection of the two".
I agree, which is why I posed my question. I don't think the fact that
there is not a perfect correspondence of "old culture" with "old
people" answers my question.
It's not an absolute correlation.
I fit many people's profile of "old people". Maybe only by a few
years, but I'm definitely at least partially stuck in that cubbyhole.
But I'm pretty far out on the bleeding edge of "new culture", at least
in the sense of this current cultural conflict, and plan to stay there
as long as possible. And I know people far more into the age range of
what's culturally considered "old people" who are at least as many
sigmas out from the mean in my direction as I am, if not more.
Granted, my corner of the Venn diagram is a lonely one, but it's not
completely uninhabited ..
