谈到中生代或者是老生代,不应该讲老生代,就美丽岛律师时代,我们做一个对照组. 那么如果是美丽岛律师时代他们的幕僚群接下来这一群,他-他所列下来,现在平均年龄大概是三十五岁到四十岁,当然主要代表人物包括像李文忠,罗文嘉,林佳龙,段宜康,郑文灿,萧美琴等等,他们的年龄大概在三十到四十--四十三十五岁到四十岁,这个称之为民进党的中生代 .
Can I use "middle-aged generation" for 中生代 and "old-aged generation" for 老生代? Thanks.

Sometimes "中生代" also means "青壯派" (younger generation).
Please refer to the following resource:
"The first to pick up a registration form for the party leadership election was legislator Trong Chai. He said he wants to be part of a planned succession to the younger generation."
(黨中央的大門貼出公告，即日起一連五天黨主席、黨代表選舉受理登記，而領表的第一位是立委蔡同榮，以使命感為出發點試圖為黨內青壯派規劃傳承的未來。) - 民視英語新聞
