Ten years of difference of age can lead to different ways of viewing the world. People will have listened to, and like different kinds of music is one example. Watched different television shows, etc.
Possibly, the way some people view the spending of money on things that seem important to their respective age groups.
A couple of years difference is not too big a spread, to have different values. I one is 64 and another 66, they have grown up in the same culture and same very similar views on life.
Remember the old joke when an older person was talking to a much younger person saying, "I remember where I was when JFK was shot", and the young person replied, "who if JFK"?
I was talking to a young man last week who said he was a musician and I mentioned Neil Sedaka, and he replied, "who's that". Never heard of him. I'm sure if he mentioned a new group from his generation, I was have answered the same way.
