* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls:'' [[Characters/GravityFallsGrunkleStan Stan Pines]], an old man, and Gideon Gleeful, a ''ten-year-old boy''.

** [[Characters/DuckTales2017ScroogeMcDuck Scrooge McDuck]] and Flintheart Glomgold. Glomgold was a child when he met the adult Scrooge [[spoiler:in South Africa. He developed a grudge after Scrooge made a condescending gesture to him, doubting his ability to make a name for himself. He has since dedicated his life to one-upping Scrooge and making his life miserable. While what Scrooge did was certainly not his proudest moment, Glomgold's resentment is portrayed as more irrational and obsessive, making him the more villainous of the two.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark:'' Downplayed with Eric Cartman and his rival, Scott Tenorman. In the infamous episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS5E4ScottTenormanMustDie Scott Tenorman Must Die]]", Cartman (a fourth-grader) exacts revenge on the Scott Tenorman (a ninth-grader) after the latter tricked the former and sold him his pubes. Cartman constantly tries to trick him out of his allowance. Said revenge is merely petty, [[spoiler:or at least, it appears to be at the beginning. Cartman manages to manipulate Scott into accidentally getting his own parents killed, cooks their corpses into chili, and has him devour it. Scott Tenorman later gets back at him in the season 14 episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS14E6TwoHundredOne 201]]", when it is revealed that Jack Tenorman, Scott's father, was also Cartman's father, and he killed his own father and fed him to his half-brother.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': The PrivateMilitaryCompany Drankam is filled with WeAreStrugglingTogether political squabbles reflecting a large scale one of these. The teenage BoisterousWeakling hunters led and represented by Katsuya, and the OldSoldier veteran hunters represented by SergeantRock Shirakabe. The young hunters face favoritism and coddling from [[StrawCivilian the civilian management]] because [[PropagandaHero they're what's marketable]], while the veterans have their rewards drained to pay for equipment for the young hunters that the veterans feel they haven't earned.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Syndrome is in his twenties, while Mr. Incredible is in his forties, and Syndrome has a vendetta against Mr. Incredible and wants to kill him because he's mad about being rejected as Mr. Incredible's sidekick when Syndrome was a kid.

* In WW[[Wrestling/{{ECW}} ECW]], one of the first major rivalries was the face faction ECW Originals (comprised of ECW veterans such as Wrestling/TommyDreamer, Wrestling/RobVanDam, and Wrestling/{{Sabu}}) vs the heel faction New Breed (led by Elijah Burke, better known as TNA's "The Pope" D'angelo Dinero).

* In ''VideoGame/LoveAndPies'', Edwina, a middle-aged woman, is around Freya's age and they knew each other in school, but Edwina expresses her resentment towards Freya's daughter Amelia, who's around her mid-to-late 20s, wanting her to lose just like Freya. Amelia likewise stands up to Edwina's insults, hoping that she can save her mother's café.
