Answer:

A teenager in the 60s. The early sixties for a young teenager was very much about Marks and Spencer clothes (more how to avoid them!), eating plenty of fresh meat and vegetables (together with fried everything, chips, and lots of sugar ), and unquestioned respect for parents, politicians, teachers, and the police.

Today's teens are legitimately closer to their parents than previous generations, but their life course has also been shaped by income inequality that demoralizes their hopes for the future. Compared to previous generations, iGens believe they have less control over how their lives turn out.
