Gerontophobia

{{SI}]

Background
Gerontophobia is the fear of growing old, or a hatred of the elderly.

Indicators
Ken Dychtwald identifies seven markers that can make up this phobia in chapter two of Age Wave: How the Most Important Trend of Our Time Will Change Your Future:
 * If young is good, then old is bad
 * If the young have it all, the old are losing it
 * If the young are creative, the old are dull
 * If the young are beautiful then the old are unattractive
 * If the young are stimulating, then the old are boring
 * If the young are full of passion, then the old are beyond caring
 * If the children are tomorrow, the old represent yesterday
