Unfortunately this analysis is a year over year comparison over the same age groups, not an age over age comparison in the same year. So your claim would not apply in this case.

Doesn't matter. I'm talking about an age group. Just like 7 year old boys will always love trains. Doesn't matter if that boy is 7 in 1921, 1945, 2002, 2024, 7 year olds will always love trains.

And everybody, regardless of age, will be miserable. It's just that when your younger, you're more vocal. When you're older you realize you're not changing shit. So just do what you can instead.

What do you mean brother? The whole point of this paper is that the youth of age 18-24 in 2024 are not behaving like the youth of age 18-24 in 2009 up to 2018.
