" It would typically be said by older people, but not by young people." Could you please explain that sentence deeper? What's the meaning of older and young people? Thank you!

Hi,
" It would typically be said by older people, but not by young people." Could you please explain that sentence deeper? What's the meaning of older and young people?
eg It wouldn't surprise me if I heard someone over 65 say it. It would surprise me if I heard someone under 20 say it.

I agree, it's usually an expression that older people would use. However, some parents teach their children to avoid using '***', so those children might use 'goodness' as a replacement.
