OK this is my list. But first, I need to say that this isn't a condemnation of those into such thing. They just don't vibe with me.

  1. Cannot get into ASMR. I've tried. Often its women 20 years younger than me, rubbing their fingernails on hairbrushes. The intentional sounds they make with their lips and fingers are things that would make me want to change seats on a bus.
  2. Instagram. I was maybe the last person to get a smart phone. It was probably 2016. I'm just fully lazy to take photos of stuff. This is a real issue when I'm single and I need to start putting photos on dating sites, as all pics of me in my phone are me squeezing carrots in my nostrils and similarly goofy things.
  3. My students' taste in anime. I try to be all cool and show off my cool taste in anime, maybe drop a Azumanga Daioh clip. It's all ancient history for 17 year olds.
  4. Photo and videos done in portrait mode. I guess I don't watch videos on the go. See #2

Things that the kids these days do better:

  • Usually better opinions on current events than people my age
  • I wish that cosplay existed when I was a teen. The default when I was younger was drugs.

If anyone insults the kids, I will visit you at your home and do an adventure-time

i hate the idea that my peers are some sort of communist generation

the majority of them are fuckin succdem ass libshits at best, in fact i think the kids are getting worse overall when it comes to politics. Had to explain to a fuckin college student what colonialism was and why it was bad. America has and will ruin every generation, do not put some blanket trust that they will do anything but get co-opted into war with china or some shit.

I could only Only complain about the kind of things that I couldn't fathom when my peers did it when I was young, like whatever my early 0's equivalent was to these disgusting shoes kids these days wear and collect, saw one running around at the store the other day wearing big puffy shreck shoes That looked like they had been stung by bees and probably get thrown away after a month at most

Disgusting wasteful trash, but same as it ever was for American trends I suppose
