Talk to temporarily. They were born at a time where there was no smartphone or Netflix which is basically our life. We can't expect them to be just like us.

No one can understand you better than yourself. Try mindfulness and become aware of your feelings and sensations. After becoming clear you will be able to express them properly.

Find someone who does. My parents don't understand where I'm quite coming from or the choices I make but I realized if they won't understand I'm sure someone else will. I know I can go to my aunt and uncle. Sometimes people don't understand us but If there are some don't then there will be some that do.

Try and explain ? Corroborate with facts ? Accept that they might never truly understand since theysee the same things from a totally different perspective?

Try start a conversation with "I have to talk to you guys about something. Can you please let me speak my mind? You may not understand it, but try to see where I'm coming from."

You should tell them everything and tell them how you really feel . if they still don't understand you then you should ask someone like your siblings or friend to give you advice or ask them why are they doing it.

I suggest trying to have an honest conversation where you explain how you feel and try to help them understand you.

Express what you're going through (writing, drawing) and show them because they probably don't think of it as a big deal.
