check out this article that refutes your statement:
"Gallup has some fascinating data out, based on more than 120,000 interviews they've completed over the past four months, on the way that partisan identification breaks down by age:"
Democrats, somewhat unsurprisingly, have the largest partisan ID advantage among Gen Y'ers, followed by among Baby Boomers. Republicans do relatively well (although are still at a net disadvantage) among Generation X'ers.
What's interesting, though, is what happens when we look at not these abstract generational categories, but rather at the following question: who was President when you turned 18? As annotated in the chart below, the popularity -- or lack thereof -- of the President when the voter turned 18 would seem to have a lot of explanatory power for how their politics turned out later on:

If nothing else, Reaganism is dead forever.
P.S I like how that article refers to Clinton as average to slightly above average president. I remember Clinton presidency VERY fondly. Gas was dirt cheap and economy was excellent. You could go into a super market with $100 in 1998 and buy a boat load of food, now it won't buy much. W's presidency was all about "chasing eviloders" and other crap. A profound waste of 8 years of my life.
Whether people like it or not, Clinton was the last successful president. It was unfortunate that a bunch of degenerates obsessed with the fact that he had oral sex in the oval office tainted his presidency.
