The generation gap is when people from different generations have different opinions and beliefs about things. Think of it like you and your mom or dad liking different kind of music or TV shows. You might like cartoons and your parents might like news shows. It's the same with people from different generations, they grew up in different times, so they like different things and see the world in different ways. This can sometimes cause tension or disagreements because they don't always understand each other's point of view. But it's okay, because we can still learn from each other and try to understand why someone feels a certain way.
