No.
Many younger people favour a traditionalist approach to respecting elders, family values and tradition.

Other young people adopt a variety of different approaches.
Ranging from ignoring the older 50s as old fashioned/smug boomers/misery guts, to utter contempt for the opinions of ancient relics/"coffin-dodgers decades past their sell buy dates".
Some have a weary dislike of the type of older people who are habitual grumblers/entitled/foul tempered/have an obvious attitude problem connected with malicious tendencies/religion/demanding automatic respect based upon age alone.

Older people are more respected in countries like Greece and Italy. There’s a lot of ageism here and I think it’s just getting worse. Young people are terrified of growing older and they’re getting Botox etc in their early 20s. They see wrinkles and not wisdom. A lot of families stick their elderly relatives into a home and forget about them.
