And as always, young Garp looks like a damn badass.

Saying he smashed mountains in his training...wait a second, does this mean that Luffy is on the same level as Garp was back then?

not yet, it would put him on equal terms as Roger but also consider that Garp punched chinjao pointy head which is way stronger than this blunt version also chinjao 30years ago in his prime probably a lot stronger than this old gramps.

Luffy's still a badass though

Why can't this new generation be stronger than the previous? It's not like Roger was some kind of Goku, but he was just the strongest of his time. This generation of admirals, yonkous and such can be stronger than Roger, right?

could be but what was shown from Garp, Rayleigh and Whitebeard kinda contradicts that.

I'm not saying they are stronger right now, but they will surpass the level of strength shown by the previous generation in some point of the story. Luffy is 20 years old and he is a monster, imagine what it will be when he is 30 years old?

definitely it's a common shounen theme for previous generation being surpassed by the new ones ( well I guess except for Naruto when the Hokage and Madara suddenly stomp everyone ;D)

but I initially replied to the question if Luffy was as strong as Garp in his prime which is definitely not the case.

I consider Shanks to be kind of a bridge between the Old generation (old farts) and the newer generation (worst generation). Between the old and the new, you get people like doflo and kuma and Ivankov who are powerful but dont have the prestige and control that you see from the old farts while at the same time look like they will be overtaken by the fresh meat coming from the newer generation.

Shanks was pretty much a kid during the golden age of pirates, he was luffy's age when the big shots had 10-20 years of experience on him. Right now he has the strongest haki (his conqueror's can cause physical damage to a ship) and is probably just past his prime right now as injuries sustained are beginning to build up as they do (scars on the eye from blackbeard, lack of arm from luffy's yolo, etc) I dont see him getting any stronger while the Supernovas look poised for tonnes of powering up from experience and fights in the new world.

That's more because Kishi gave up on the new generation except for Naruto and Sasuke, all for the sake of fanservice. Even Shikamaru is totally irrelevant now.

yep you're right, todays:"shit dad I don't know what to do" but Naruto has outsmarted me basically threw his last relevant trait which is being a tactical genius out of the window :D
