scott pilgrim is directed at young adults and teenagers though as it starred people around our age - early 20's.Sorry. I couldn't relate to most of it. The style and story made me feel old. It seemed more like something my younger cousins would enjoy. It wasn't offensive (I still liked it), just not for me.
Naw, kids have never cared about history, you're just getting crotchety.I was a history nerd when I was younger. But I guess I was the exception, not the rule.
I'll feel old when people born in the new millennium become legal adults
when kids a decade younger than me started complaining about feeling old
I feel young whenever I read one of Stony's posts

Imagine fapping to someone born during the GWB presidency. :fbm
Recently, when I got diagnosed with sciatica. Have pain when standing up/walking/sitting at times throughout the day.
When the girls I'd like to fuck are half my age.
See all that stuff doesn't matter. The fact that you like a particular musical artist and some young person likes one of his generation instead has and will always happen. That's sort of the boring part of noticing stuff about getting older. It's purely just generational and time based and observational. It literally happens to everybody every 10 years or so. It's just the Beatles all over again.
The attitude changes are more interesting. Purely anecdotal but one increasing change I notice from younger people is a decline in the interest towards history. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to make it sound like my generation were history fiends or something. But I notice if you mention something to a lot of young people from the past, they dismiss it by saying that was before their time. I honestly hadn't heard that defense until a few years ago. That's not an appropriate dismissal of something. Especially in a world with Wikipedia. Hell that's what history is about. For them though its like what came before doesn't matter. They don't quite get that link that stuff from the past effects things from today. And it goes beyond just a sort of I'm not interested in that. The fact that it was before their time allows a convenient way to dismiss even caring about it. Its a more blanket thing that the past doesn't matter. And by history I'm not talking about just things hundreds or thousands of years ago. I mean even recent history. Like 20 years. Things they should legit know about.
This isn't a wholly new thing of course. Young people have always hated history. It's just increasing and like I said I hear the defense that "its before my time" a lot more than I ever heard it before when I was young. So as not to be overly negative of course there are things about young people that are absolutely better than when I was young.
Usually when I listen to a song or watch a movie/tv show and I think "wow that was from 1993", and it dawns me it's no longer 2003 and 1993 was 18 years ago :gloomy

I also started feeling old when I was told I have a compressed nerve in my neck. It's a kind of hernia. Hernias are for old folks.

When the girls I'd like to fuck are half my age.Can we go by this metric?
When I went to a festival and the dubstep candyraver kiddies standing in front of me were like "who is this digweed guy?"
Not old but I find myself being disgusted by the current pop stuff, I guess that means something?

i am highly amused at someone who loves trance and prog house dismissing dubsteps kids as candyravers.
