It's almost an unwritten rule that the younger generation disagrees with the older generation on most things. For example, Millennials and Gen Z tend to agree on most social and political issues, according to the Pew Research Center. Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation, in turn, share similar opinions among themselves, but mostly disagree with what younger people have to say.
Some might say that it's just the way it's supposed to be, but that doesn't mean folks born in different eras can't agree on some things. It turns out that young people actually share many similar opinions with the older generation. People shared some examples in an online thread where one netizen asked, "What is a boomer opinion you absolutely agree with?" See the most popular answers below and let us know which hot takes you agree or disagree with!

Kids these days don’t seem to know how to study?! I’m Gen Z and the class average in my college classes are staggeringly low. Two of my professors made a point of saying they’ve never had such low class scores. And I’m in the sciences!
