Kids have no idea what you're talking about when you mention things that were insanely popular when you were younger

Oh, grey hair. Liver spots. Crepe skin. Roosevelt was president when I was born. I remember extra editions of newspapers...about the Korean War. Aircraft before jets were proliferate. I can remember when there were no zip or area codes. I remember when fitted sheets , panty hose and the pill all became "a thing." That should do it.

It didn't happen to me (honestly), but it happened to a friend of mine. He picked up an escort, and when they started to get into it, she said "ohhhh aren't you a kinky old man?"

Random acronyms appearing and having to type what they are into Google. Your knees start making noises when bending over. In your twenties it’s all about sex, passion and fire… as you get older, it’s about peace, sex, passion and food.

You gradually can’t keep up with the younger generation. I’m 26, and have felt pretty connected with Gen Z. That all changed a year or so ago. My buddy has two kids aged 14 and 16, and 3/4 of the stuff they show me makes zero sense to me. They’re full on gut busting laughing, while I sit in confusion listening to the most distorted audio I’ve ever heard over a heavily modified family guy clip. I don’t know. Humor changes with the times I suppose.

Appreciating a smaller friend group, maybe even staying alone, having more care about cleaning and house products, less drinking, less partying.

When kids start using slang that makes you ask, “What does that even mean?”
