It's obviously false. You sometimes hear of it being 'true' in places like France, but when you actually look into youth voting habits, for instance, it turns out to be false.

People have to understand that degeneration is inter-generational and that the appearance of a generation that is miraculously less degenerate than their immediate predecessors is aberrational. One can only find select examples of where it might have been the case that the youth of certain generations were actually regenerating and thus contemptuous of the more permissive older people, e.g. supposedly in Victorian England.

In the West it's obviously the reverse. Most of the older people I know say to me that they think the youth 'will destroy the world', are 'a lost cause', etc. And I have never heard a young person claim that it's the older people who are too degenerate, only that they are not degenerate enough (e.g. that they're too 'judgemental' and need to 'hurry up and die off already'). Thus everyone agrees today, even if the young only tacitly admit it because degenerates do not believe themselves to be so, that the young are more degenerate than the old.
