Jeff Tweedy

I think generation gaps are a bill of goods that is sold as marketing. It's a little bit of a divide and conquer method from corporate America to separate the demographics and target people with that notion. It gives people my age permission to dismiss younger people, which is awful, and it gives younger people some sort of concept that the world has changed in a way that makes someone like me invalid. 

But in more cases than not, there is a lot of common ground—everybody that's my age was once Spencer's age. And the internet has made time much more circular. When I was a kid, it really was unheard of to like your parents. If you were into punk rock and stuff like that, your parents were the closest target you had to combat the powers that be.
