1. Generation Gap

   "The Generation Gap was a single by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was released on RCA Records in 1988 as a single-only release. It was written by Charlie Craig, Betty Craig, Jim Hayner and was a cover of Jeannie C. Rileys 1970 country song. The B-side, "Jungle Bells" was written by Dave Faulkner. Riley's original version charted at number 62 on Hot Country Songs in 1970. The song was the B-side to her single "My Man", which charted at number 60 on the same chart in the same timespan. "... we persuaded Rick Grossman to join, contributing his tremendous bass skills ... Almost immediately we were in the studio recording a single-only release "The Generation Gap", a song originally recorded by Jeannie C. Riley (of "Harper Valley PTA" fame). I changed a couple of lines to suit myself but the ones about grown-ups getting stoned were from the original." - Dave Faulkner. The single represents the earliest recorded performance by the most stable version of Hoodoo Gurus.

1. Generation gap

   The generational gap is a term popularized in Western countries during the 1960s referring to differences between people of younger generations and their elders, especially between children and their parents. Although some generational differences have existed throughout history, modern generational gaps have often been attributed to rapid cultural change in the postmodern period, particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, culture and politics. These changes are assumed to have been magnified by the unprecedented size of the young generation during the 1960s, which gave it the power and inclination to rebel against societal norms, as reflected in songs such as the 1965 hit "My Generation" by The Who and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" by Bob Dylan. However, sociologists also point to institutional age segregation as an important contributing factor to the generational divide. Those in childhood phases are segregated within educational institutions or child-care centers, parents are isolated within work-based domains, while older generations may be relegated to retirement homes, nursing homes, or senior day care centers. Social researchers see this kind of institutionally-based age segregation as a barrier to strong intergenerational relationships, social embeddedness, and generativity.
