La coupure

Reveriesdelectrice commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
For context, I am a 26-year-old French woman and I mostly read detective novels by French authors so maybe this post concerns a French cultural topic. I read few detective novels but I noticed that in most cases the author creates an opposition between generations, whether it is between a policeman, a journalist and their younger colleagues or the perception of youth by the police. The "old generation" criticizes seeing the new one who no longer uses good old investigative methods or is not lively and intelligent enough. We often find speeches such as 'it was better before' or 'young people are more violent today'. I admit that I find this speech tiring and does not make me want to get into reading more detective novels.
I would like to have your opinion on this subject. Arenât young people the audience for these books or do I just fixate on a detail? đ
