I'm really happy you commented this. "normal" reflects norms.
Part of any generational attitude divide is the base conditions aka norms. When a change / progress is made, it sets those norms.
It's normal for my generation that people wear seat belts and don't smoke in pubs, that women have extensive varied careers and dads don't beat their kids. It wasn't for the generation before me.
It's not normal for men of my generation to talk openly and confidently about their sexuality and mental health. Yet that seems to be normal for some of the younger generations, and I envy that.
I find that the easiest way to tap into the generational norms is to listen to comedy. It often represents the edge of what is considered acceptable, because comedy does play with that edge.
It's amusing to see the pitchforks come out for comedians where they're judged for edgy content from 25 years ago and society has moved on a bit. Amusing because most of this judgement seems to happen online, and thus is a permanent record, so in 25 years time we'll have a bunch of embarrassed mid 40s people trying to explain their cruelty to an unsympathetic younger generation. "you weren't there, man! You don't understand!"
