Youthsplaining

What's the meaning of "Youthsplaining"? Could you please provide some examples?
  

Top answer

I am going to pretened that it's 1962, and I am still using a slide rule, and there is no World Wide Web. "Youthsplaining" is not a word. It seems to be a portmanteau of "youth" and "explaining", but that does not help me pry meaning out of it.

It is an offshoot of "mansplaining" which was coined in 2019, but went viral enough so as to appear in dictionaries and inspire variations.
