Interest differential

You think they are Cleopatra-level interesting.
They think their Doberman has more interest-hair than you.

You counter their Aurelian observations with the fun trivia you read on Insta last week.

Generation differential

Your upbringing is when the slightest cuss word can land you in life-sized shit.

Value differential
