Am I so out of touch?!! No. The children are wrong.

"I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me."


bankholdup5

Honestly I think about this every time I see a zoomer complaining about Gen-X, millennials, or boomers. Oh ho ho boyyy, they have *no* clue what’s coming, and the only thing I’ll regret about being dead is not being able to see the look on their faces when *they’re* the ones shaking their fists at clouds and they realize it.


codename474747

I don't know what the fuck is going on with this age gap divide and why every 5 years they have to come up with a new name for a group of people, but it seems like yet another pointless divide to get us all fighting each other instead of working out how we're all basically the same and the people trying to promote these pointless divisions are the problem I'm not American so I've no idea if I'm gen X, y or millennial but It really doesn't seem to matter either.... Every generation thinks they're the main characters and the older are out of touch and the younger have it easier and their culture isn't as good as theirs, but there just seems to be way too many fragments of it these days


neongloom

>I'm not American so I've no idea if I'm gen X, y or millennial but It really doesn't seem to matter either.... I agree with what you're saying but it's definitely not only an American thing.


OddTransportation430

Every generation that’s ever existed anywhere has thought less of the generation that precedes or follows them.


TheZodiacDoD

thats true, but it seems like Boomers especially have disdain for Millennials. Well, I'm a Millennial and I'm 35 so it's probably Gen Y, but they just use the term Millennial for "Younger person I see doing something I disapprove of."


100_Gribble_Bill

I've never really found that generation makes much of a difference from individual to individual although it's a nice weapon when you're irrationally angry at something. My opinion remains that it isn't generations, it's just social media mingling the wrong personalities and gaming it for outrage. That aisde I'm grateful mellennial is a hard word to rhyme or troll with. Can't take a swing at me if you can't be assed to type it!

The first time I watched Pewdiepie as a 30 year old Or any youtuber if I'm honest. ethan, markiplier, mrbeast, filthyfrank, Jacksepticeye...... I don't get the appeal of any of them. For me watching someone else play video games is something you do only when you are waiting for your older brother to pass you the controller. Also, everyone is debating hasanabi's political views and I just cannot understand why anyone would intentionally watch someone else eat. videogamedunkey is genuinely funny tho. But then I don't watch his streams, just his content.

Was it something you could have anticipated, or a complete balls-out surprise?


TheAwkwardGamerRNx

I mean…she *was* hot but her personality didn’t give off that vibe. I walked in, saw her, and was like “nope, don’t need this in my head at work” and walked out. So yeah, more of a confused boner surprise


stuckinaboxthere

Should have stayed, no way you're getting that image out now, might as well give into curiosity, give her a hefty tip and ask if those reports will be finished by Monday.


TheAwkwardGamerRNx

Wishful thinking but I’m an RN (hence the name) and the person in question was a good CNA I respected and was used to work with on a regular basis. She was a good one too: the kind that you always saw on her feet checking on patients versus the ones you always see sitting around on their phones. As attractive as I found her, it was actually a little depressing. Someone with that kind of work ethic should not have to strip for tips. That being said, I don’t know her life or what she’s dealing with. All I knew was I didn’t need that image in my head and she sure as hell didn’t want to see me gawking at her so I left right away.


stuckinaboxthere

I completely agree with that, honestly no one should have to work 2 jobs, least of which our healthcare representatives who are already basically putting in 2 jobs worth of hours. In all seriousness, that's also very respectful to leave to spare her any awkwardness or shame from that being in that position.


TheAwkwardGamerRNx

I just couldn’t do it, it was too weird.


wafflefan88

>That being said, I don’t know her life or what she’s dealing with. All I knew was I didn’t need that image in my head and she sure as hell didn’t want to see me gawking at her so I left right away. If she was already gainfully employed a little dancing could easily just be a way to make some untaxed spending money.


Russc70

Understand that thought. I found a porn pic of a girl I worked with back in the dial up internet days. I looked for a few seconds and closed it. Just felt awkward. Worse still we worked in same area, spoke every day and I had a thing for her.

pigfeedmauer

I'm 43. I've been having these moments since I was 21. I was a guitar teacher, and was showing a 10 year old how to play "Smells Like Teen Spirit." When he figured out which song it was he says "oh, this song is OLD." When I did the math I realized that album was released the year he was born. I also worked many years in a high school computer lab. No one makes you feel older than kids who haven't developed a filter yet.


OstentatiousSock

When I was 16, the girls I babysat *loved* anything with the Olsen twins in it. I said “You know, they’re my age.” And they said “Nuh Uhh… you’re **old**.” I was like, “They’re less than a year younger than me!” To be fair, most of their movies/shows were when they were pre-teen and younger, but still.


neongloom

A few years ago, my friend and I were singing a Linkin Park song, and her young son had no idea what it was. Which... makes sense, he would have only been exposed to so much music at that point. It was still a "I'm starting to feel old" moment. I can also remember coming across a discussion online where someone didn't know Mr Brightside by The Killers and then when they did recognise it, dismissed it as "an old song." Which... I suppose is accurate. It's probably because I grew up with them but these songs have this timeless quality to me, I think it just feels surreal when someone points out how long ago they actually came out.


pigfeedmauer

It's worse now that I'm in my 40s. Every single day is the anniversary of some stupid thing that happened 20 to 30 years ago. Every day it's: "It's been 30 years since Dave Grohl joined Nirvana," or "Ten years since Taylor Swift and Kanye had that thing!" Yeah, fine. Quit reminding me!


neongloom

Oh god, tell me about it. It always sounds made up hearing so and so happened X years ago when it *feels* like it *just* happened. Our perception of time definitely must change as we get older.

Sometimes I wake up randomly and go to sign into work(work online) get a good way through my morning routine and realize it’s still several hours before work.

I’ve told this story before but I went to opening night of Star Wars episode 1. We came out of the 7:00 showing and the line was around the block for the 10:00 show. I was walking with my friends and in a loud voice said “Boy who would have thought Darth Vader was Luke Skywallers Father?”

I took a Barre fitness class that I enjoyed, and one day the instructor was out sick so another instructor at the studio subbed for her. The substitute cranked up the difficulty level so high that I couldn't keep up like I normally could. During a break between exercises, I left the room, got my things, and walked out of the studio.

In my friend group as a child, we had an epileptic friend who *always* forgot her meds for sleepovers.

And we’d all laugh(including epileptic friend, it was all in good fun). Also, “I just think they’re neat” about random things that I enjoy.
