I found this in another forum.
How true is the claim made by the people at The Remnant that the trad movement is a youth movement?

What can substatiate these claims?
 
I think I may know what you’re referring to.

I hope it’s not a “youth movement.” I will be honest, many people in my generation are disillusioned with the way our parents raised us, and the current counter-culture of our time. There is a reason why younger nuns nowadays are harking back to the traditional dress, and why many people in my age group are returning to the Church, are converting, etc.

I don’t understand why this is called “traditional,” when that’s just the way things should have always been! It’s like when rules are finally being enforced at the workplace-- it’s not becoming stricter, it’s how it should have been in the first place!

I am meeting more people around my age who are practicing NFP as married couples, want to have large families, are heavily involved in their Churches, are practicing Catholics, etc. Even people that I know who aren’t Catholic, or who aren’t even Christians are bringing back some of the “old school” concepts because traditionalism has been shown to be the best avenue for living one’s life, raising a family, viewing the world, etc.

I hope this isn’t another “movement” but a true change in our culture.
 
It depends how do you define the trad.
  • if trad is (like Pope Benedict XVI) who wants the balance between the old and the new but with a slant toward the old than the trad sentiment is equally distributed among all ages
  • if trad is who completely rejects his/her parents world and as part of this reaction turns to his/her grandparents world that is characteristic to those between 16 and the first child
 
I thought “traditional” referred to the following:
  1. Making “fish Fridays” more commonplace;
  2. The use of NFP becoming more prevalent and commonplace in marriages, and contraceptive use declining and looked at negatively instead of turning a blind eye;
  3. Encouraging and expecting more church participation, especially in church catechism education;
  4. Encouraging more boys than girls to be altar servers, and giving preference to boys;
  5. Larger families becoming more accepted and encouraged, as in more than 2 children;
  6. Including more LM’s in parishes;
  7. More use of the stations of the cross, and the rosary;
  8. Delivering the Eucharist via mouth rather than hand to mouth;
  9. Ensuring the appropriate applications of Vatican II;
  10. and teaching of dogma in the proper manner.
