Xingjie - they don't connect

Adolescents and adults today do not connect as they share different basic interests. The basic interests of today’s adolescents and adults differ greatly in terms of fashion, music, leisure activities. Without a common interest, there is no common platform to bridge the divide between adolescents and adults. For example adolescents listen to pop or rock music whereas adults prefer more soothing classical music or jazz. However, having different interests does not mean that adults and adolescents do not connect. Although their specific interest may differ, their main interest still remains the same. For example in terms of fashion, both adults and adolescents may follow different fashion trends but at the end of the day, they both share a common interest which is fashion. Also, there has been a revival in past leisure activities. For example kite flying has made a comeback with increasing popularity among adolescents. As such, adolescents and adults today do connect as they share the same core interest and also, there has been a revival in past trends.
