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

Do you mean you don't get why they like it or don't feel the vibe cause it isn't hard to explain.

I feel like I am keeping up well with the younger generation. A sometimes I feel weird about it like I should stop liking new music at some point but I haven't yet.

That's cool you like new music. The only new music I tend to find is commie music. I've always had weak music appreciating skills.

Loud noises/ADHD content (not meant in a negative way)

What I mean is the seemingly endless stream of clips and videos where something happens then a super loud BREH rips my eardrums out. Or like content that totally lacks a linear storyline of any sort, has random elements thrown in, I dunno. TikTok type stuff I guess. My ex-gf (basically same age, couple years younger) would show me all these videos and I was intrigued by like "wtf is this" but I had no idea how to interpret it.

Holy fuck I feel old typing this. I need that Joe Brandon speedball
