agesplaining

Like mansplaining, this occurs when someone who is older or grew up in a different time/generation tries to explain something without realizing that the younger person they are talking to knows more on that topic than they do.

Valid for use when the person perceives themself as being older whether they actually are or not and still explains in the same condescending fashion.

Also used for when the elder explains something that no longer is culturally valid in our society, such as the means for a student in the US to be able to be debt-free when graduating. Often the agesplained statement comes after "when I was your age."
