The speaker voiced the sentiments of an entire generation.

Note
A plural that only one meaning of sentiment can take. The countable sense, a particular thought, feeling or sense, pluralizes freely, so a speaker can voice the sentiments of a generation. The other sense is feeling set against reason or judgment, often with a hint of the weak or foolish. It is a mass noun with no plural, so sentiments does not carry that disparaging edge.
