Sure. There are Ancient Greek texts expressing similar sentiments. It has only been weaponized in the 20th century though. Generations generally held the same beliefs, norms and traditions - there was simply not much cultural change and when there was it spread over a very long period. What you call clash of generations in ancient times is old people bitching about the young being young and stupid and vice versa. It was an age thing, not a cultural or existential one.

Today you have the conservative boomer grandma who still goes to the local Catholic Church and doesn't mind staying at the kitchen, her twice divorced gen x/millennial narcissistic girl-boss grand-daughter and her gender-queer furry lgbtqyz zoomer daughter getting groomed at her school's drag queen story hour. This is a complete mess unparalleled by any time in history. There's no social cohesion and no bridges between those generations. We're in unexplored territory and this is one huge demonic experiment.
