Ironically, falling into the first half of the 30-50 YO interval you mention, I have the same observations about the ones I call "kids" (20-30 YO). I wonder if we're all just kicking the same can down the road with our generational perceptions coloring our opinions.
One of my beloved mentors who recently passed defined pediatric patients as "anyone younger than me" despite being in his 70's.
