I could start by finding ways to internalize them better?   I *do* enjoy 
my avocado toast (toasted everything bagels actually) and am practicing 
gender-neutral pronouns, but it feels like an (even) harder pull than 
getting Archie Bunker to learn Meathead's sensibilities and language.

I definitely am very tired of the tropes of my own generation and 
appreciate the genX/Y/Z voices when I can hear/parse them.   I was happy 
to see the handful of 50 and under voices in the Democratic Presidential 
Primary and Congress but find the Republican version (Boebert, Greene, 
Hawley, Gaetz, Cawthorne, et al) absurd parodies of their "elders".   
Maybe there is a new signal in there, but I can't find it.
