I have noticed generational humor exists as well. Since our frames of reference and cultural influences vary, there is a lot of room for misinterpretation and the potential to not get it.
In "The Art of Connection," Susan C. Young discusses how humor often varies across generations. Different age groups have unique cultural influences and experiences, which shape their sense of humor. This difference can lead to misunderstandings and challenges in appreciating jokes or comedic references that resonate with one generation but not another.
Young emphasizes the importance of being aware of these generational divides. Recognizing that humor can be subjective and context-dependent allows for better communication and connection between people of different ages. By understanding diverse perspectives, we can enhance rapport and foster more positive interpersonal relationships.
