>> I suppose the youth writing about 50-year olds is going to be just as fraught with incorrectness
It isn't symmetric. 50-year olds have more experience at being young than young people do, although the experience is not as recent.
Why should either party bother then making observations about the other at all?
To answer my own question, I think the more observant, reflective, and contemplative individuals from either group very likely will have something to say that may cause the other to pause. While they may often not get the other, I think being immediately dismissive of what they have to say is the worse sin.
