There doesn't need to be a rivalry between "old fucks" and "young'ns", and I also don't think people approaching or in their 30's should be labeled as such.
Many of my friends know I hate being called "kid" for this sort of reason. It's condescending.
Nope, no need for a rivalry. I spend a fair amount of time around seniors, so I get called a kid myself sometimes too. I don't think most people mean anything by the references in either direction. It's just human nature to view time from your own reference points. I do get that it's annoying if it sounds like someone's implying you don't have the experience to know anything.
I wanted to let you know that you quoted the wrong person. SoTxBob didn't say the above statement (in bold). It was AmberCutie that said it.
