Chronocentrism

Chronocentrism or chronocentricity (from the Greek chrono- meaning "time") has been defined as "the egotism that one's own generation is poised on the very cusp of history."^[1] The term had been used earlier in a study about attitudes to ageing in the workplace. Chronocentricity ... 'only seeing the value of one's own age cohort'^[2] ... described the tendency for younger managers to hold negative perceptions of the abilities or other work-related competencies of older employees. This type of discrimination is a form of ageism.

Another usage is related to ethnocentrism. That is, chronocentrism is perceiving and judging a culture's historical values in terms of contemporary standards.
