Trying to find music both you and your teenager want to listen to in the car can make it feel like it’s hard to connect with young people, but new research reveals there are a lot of things that actually bring different generations together. It turns out, family events are the biggest uniter, which will come in handy with upcoming holiday gatherings.

According to a survey of 2-thousand adults, nearly two-thirds (65%) say family events are most likely to bring people of different age groups together. Sports are number two (55%), with food coming in a close third (51%).

Music, hobbies, relationships and travel also help unite folks of all ages.
As you might expect, political views are the top thing that divides people of different generations (32%). Social media is next (29%), followed by fashion (22%).
Despite those challenges, six in 10 respondents say they have friends from other generations and 62% would like to complete a bucket list item with someone from a different generation.
Three-quarters (75%) say they always make time to talk to older people and learn from them.
Spending time with people from other generations comes with benefits, including learning new perspectives (42%), sharing skills and knowledge (39%), and becoming more open-minded (27%).
Almost half (49%) of those surveyed say they enjoy activities more when they involve people from different age groups.
But more than a third (35%) admit they rarely, or never, spend time with people who are 15 years younger or older than them.
Work is the top place people spend time with those in other generations (34%), along with family events (33%), and sporting events (15%).
People who have coworkers from different generations say learning different perspectives is the biggest benefit (34%), followed by knowledge sharing (32%).⠀
