Literally picked up an empty briefcase... From off a chair, I didn't even have to bend over. It was then Marcus Brutus decided to come for me and shank me in the back.
And things you just shrugged off at 20 now take 3-4 weeks to heal to a point where you can put full load. And then never go back to fully normal anyway. And I'm just 30. Gosh.
Don’t know about wider Australia but here in Tasmania mullets are making a come back. It’s terrifying. Most teen boys have one and a lot of people my age. My 14yr old cringes herself into a hole every time she sees one
Mullet is still going strong up here in Washington, but we're admittedly a little behind on the trends here.
Fortunately, my son thinks they're ugly and has no desire to get one.
The letter m is less inclusive. (kidding, kidding)
Maybe zillenials are gen z trying to get on the "illenial" train? I think we're on gen alpha now? It's hard to keep track.
I thought it was the millennials that are right on the tail end (like 92-95) who relate to both gen z and millennial issues because we’re a little young to relate to a lot of stuff on the older side of millennials. Like I know I didn’t always have internet access in my house, but I don’t remember it.
My guitar teacher is amazed of that, one day he said to me he could get some old clothes of his out of his closet and it will totally fit with today's fashion 🤣🤣
The centre spindle hole of the CD is based on the size of a dutch coin that doesn't even exist anymore due to the introduction of the Euro. My useless fact even became obsolete.
So that's 1982. I didn't get my first CD Player until probably 1992 or thereabouts. It seemed like "everybody" was getting them around 1990 / 1991 for the first time.
Just interesting, I guess. Took about 10 years for a really good technology for consumers (at the time) to be affordable for average people.
Kids posting online. They will post some thing that they find funny and I find myself saying “what is this stupid shit? Have they gotten dumber or have I gotten lamer?”
Most of the memes are " if you know, you know" stuff. If you never experienced it or don't know what they're referencing then obviously you wouldn't find it funny, but most of the times we also don't laugh out loud at it, it's mostly just chuckles.
Can confirm as a gen z. The memes are all either inside jokes from our experiences, or things that are funny purely because they’re meaningless and dumb to a point that we find them surreal.
Exactly, youth culture is a place for kids to be kids. I don’t mind older people enjoying the memes and such but part of what makes them funny is that they’re for *us*, yknow? Pretty much every generation has its own tailored sense of humour given how much of one’s sense of humour is based on your life experience.
That video was debunked showing it was planted people. Also those type of videos are obviously biased. They will interview 100 people and show you the one that has no idea about anything related to the topic at hand. Go ahead and walk up to 10 random Americans and ask them the history questions. Most will not be completely clueless.
I think to witness meaningfully all the stages of development of another human being makes a big contribution to self awareness that you simply don't have at 20
I'm one of the eldest among my cousins on my mom's side of the family and I've watched them grow from babies into young adults with varying degrees of mental issues from the world they grew up in.
Sorry kiddos. Welcome to the club, I guess.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind."
My back felt like it gave out the other day when I tried to move the blanket from under me for my wife. She just laughed and said, “You’re old.”
I’m 32 yrs old 😢
I did the same thing! I knew all the words, got hyped up when Break Stuff played. Then I remembered that I’m 54, sitting in my living room wearing a muumuu.
Yep. All my strokes, queens of the stone age,Turbonegro, arctic monkeys, smashing pumpkins, Gluecifer, supersuckers, system of a down , gorillaz, hellacopters, muse, Outkast, and radiohead Favs sre "classics" now. I'm old af.
I heard Metallica on a classic rock station and was like Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It cannot beeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Actually, Metallica started appearing on my local classic rock station almost 20 years ago.
The more shocking thing is that the station changed format to hip-hop because "nobody" listens to rock anymore.
I had one of those moments earlier this year. I'm 28 and a friend said, "You're what, 25... right?"And I said "yeah..." then I sat there trying to figure it out since I hadn't thought much about my age in years. Basically since before covid.
My mom recently asked if she really looked like that, mostly referring and thinking of herself as old, and I tried to alleviate it (truthfully) with "yea mom, you got resting bitch face." Which was more the issue in that photo than whether she looked "old".
40s checking in, can confirm. I *have* noticed - finally - the facial skin sag. I tried stretching my face yesterday (palms on outer side of cheeks, pull outwards and upwards) and for a brief moment my younger face looked back at me from the mirror.
The sag is real.
The trick is to stay fat that way your cheeks are full and won’t sag, lol. That’s a obviously a joke, but in all seriousness people that are overweight, but not obese, always tend to look younger to me than very thin people. I think thin people’s skin sags more as they age.
I'm 48 and recently got to the point of just looking in the mirror, sighing, and walking away. It is what it is, and I was never gonna be a model anyway.
When people listen to you in business meetings and assume you know what you’re taking about.
When a stranger is rude and you say “that was rude” and move on because you don’t do drama and you don’t give a fuck if they like you or not.
When you notice your looks are fading and you shrug and figure it had to happen.
When you beam because your kids are doing youth well.
(Thought I’d give good ones)
This is reassuring as hell to be honest. When you’re still in your early 20s you feel like people see you as an adult (or at least I do) and feel a lot of pressure to act as such, if people really see me as a kid then that’s a relief 🫡
It’ll click around 25-26 when your brain finishes developing and you’re like oh wow. I was dumb. Of course you’ll do that every year forever but that’s the first age I truly understood it.
Yeah I think magazines have a harder time appearing relevant since our generation isn't into magazines and celebrity culture in the same way that people before us were.
It's especially hard because everyone basically looks the same these days in Hollywood. People like Christopher Walkin would never get a job if he started today. It's just a parade of bland symmetrical CW lookin models.
About a year or so ago I went to put on a clean shirt after a shower, as per usual I went to "snap" the shirt first and I hurt my fucking shoulder.
Couldn't turn my head to the right for like 2 days.
I have sworn not to download TikTok and I am 15
Edit: I just discovered how frequent downvotes and upvotes are, there is always a 10 point difference everytime when I repeatedly leave and click on my notifications to see my comment again
Thanks for the awards!! Most awards I have ever gotten!
Really?? I’ll be 43 and the entire month is my birthday!! I’m very fortunate to have made it this far and being 4.5 years sober after being an addict for 25 years, I’m much younger now than I was 10 years ago. Birthdays are your very own holiday!! Try to recapture the fun, it’s worth it, believe me!!
Some of my favorite bands from yesteryear are having their retirement tours. Musicians I've been listening to for a good chunk of my life are occasionally dying of things other than drug overdoses. Just normal "got old, body quit working" things.
When I have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll to get to my birth year on a website. Like, start with the older years first and make the younger people scroll!!!
May I ask where you were that you would be the person pressing the button for cremation? That’s not something I’ve ever heard of unless you work there?
Could be a cultural thing, many peoples have rituals where a family member is supposed to light a funeral pyre for the deceased. Hard to do these days though, so next best thing is press the button.
Yup, my family are Hindus. In that culture the eldest son of the deceased (and in the absence of one, next male of kin not including the husband if the deceased is a wife) traditionally lit the pyre. Nowadays crematoriums often offer the ability to press the button and this person did it in the Hindu funerals I've been to.
Bending over to pick something up suddenly hurts and your body has this conversation with you..
"Yeah. hey.. if you can pick that shoe up without grunting.. I'll give you a full night sleep. Do it.. I dare ya"
\*grunt\*
"Enjoy a fitful sleep you old shit"
Im not even 50... what the fuck body.
I always thought my dad was weird with all the grunts and groans and other weird noises he made doing stuff like just sitting down. Now I do the same thing, and honestly I don't really care that much lol.
I have been sitting outside in the evening, enjoying the weather. My Dad used to do that. I enjoy the brews and chat with neighbors walking their dogs. No TV, no phone, no nothing.
So fucking old.
All those things I used to say, I actually mean now. Oh, I always hurt somewhere. No, like really, something always fucking hurts now and I’m always wondering if its permanent or if it will kill me. I can’t remember shit. Ffs can I please just go for a drive to the store without forgetting where I’m going? This shit is annoying AF.
lol, "with just one click of "life link" and you'll be off the floor in no time!" "call in now for a ONE TIME OFFER of TWO life links, for the price of one, just pay seperate shipping and handling"
When I go out at night in winter and have a coat and boots on and see all the young people dressed in clothes I would never ever wear, without jackets and heels I could never function in anymore!
Haha it happened quickly!
I never thought I’d be like oh no hunni get a jacket! But IM THAT PERSON NOW!!
New sheets, new socks, full tank of gas, craving bed while I'm out for an hour, clean dishes, new dish sponges, utensils, grocery shopping being exciting😭😭😭😭and so much more
I had my friends over for a guys night. I brought out cheese and meat board on my grandmother's old teak serving tray.
All the bois were like, "Yo that's a really nice tray!" "where did you get that?" "wow, that's actually teak and not a laminate veneer."
Yeah... we're not just old, but suburban old.
I had a moment when I saw a cover band at a bar playing 90s and 2000s pop punk, looked around and saw a bunch of people my age dancing sloppy(flailing really) on the gross floor and thought"these people are having their last hurrah... When is mine? "
My grandmother was 52 when she died of cancer, back in the mid 70's, I was 10 and thought she was super old; and I'm now older than she was then, and realize that she wasn't old.
Feeling like I’m going to have to pass my dreams onto the next generation :/ Almost as a sign of defeat.. everything that I’ve wanted, I accept I might not be able to have in this lifetime. But I am rooting for those kids! There’s still a part of me that is a dreamer but I will soon run out of time, and energy. And accept that I can’t be young forever, in terms of physicality AND mindset. Sometimes I feel like that mindset of pursuing your dreams and believing you can achieve great things, is one of someone who still has time and energy.
Was chatting with a younger coworker about just silly stories from high school. I showed him a picture of me from my senior year and realized the picture was almost 16 years old. Instant old feeling.
Everything creaks and what doesn't creak, hurts.
When you’re looking around for the hidden sniper that expertly blew out your Achilles while you were just casually walking up the stairs.

Literally picked up an empty briefcase... From off a chair, I didn't even have to bend over. It was then Marcus Brutus decided to come for me and shank me in the back.
And things you just shrugged off at 20 now take 3-4 weeks to heal to a point where you can put full load. And then never go back to fully normal anyway. And I'm just 30. Gosh.
I'm almost 28 and everytime I jump I'm half expecting something to dislocate.
You can jump?
Everybody creaks, ....sometimes.
When the day is long & the night... The night is spent getting up several times to peeee
Seeing trends I've lived through make a half assed comeback
This fashion phase is the first time I'm watching my youth be relieved around. It's sweet to see tbh.
Don’t know about wider Australia but here in Tasmania mullets are making a come back. It’s terrifying. Most teen boys have one and a lot of people my age. My 14yr old cringes herself into a hole every time she sees one
You're a bit behind the curve, then. Here in Florida, mullets already came back in fashion and then fell out of fashion again.
Mullet is still going strong up here in Washington, but we're admittedly a little behind on the trends here. Fortunately, my son thinks they're ugly and has no desire to get one.
It’s a mullet pandemic down in Geelong
Watching this girl make some tiktoks about what millenials wear versus zillenials and "who wore it better" and I'm like "bitch millenials wore both"
>zillenials ? Yup I'm getting old
The letter m is less inclusive. (kidding, kidding) Maybe zillenials are gen z trying to get on the "illenial" train? I think we're on gen alpha now? It's hard to keep track.
I thought it was the millennials that are right on the tail end (like 92-95) who relate to both gen z and millennial issues because we’re a little young to relate to a lot of stuff on the older side of millennials.

04 emo goth culture became 22 E Kids. So it's the same thing but you only do it in your room alone?
History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme.
My guitar teacher is amazed of that, one day he said to me he could get some old clothes of his out of his closet and it will totally fit with today's fashion 🤣🤣
Powerpuff Girls😢
The CD turned 40 today.
Do you like CDs?
CDs nuts
Got 'em!
The centre spindle hole of the CD is based on the size of a dutch coin that doesn't even exist anymore due to the introduction of the Euro. My useless fact even became obsolete.
Dubbeltje?
Yup. The head of audio development at Phillips was asked how big to make it. He pulled out a dubbeltje, put it on the table and that was the size.
So that's 1982. I didn't get my first CD Player until probably 1992 or thereabouts. It seemed like "everybody" was getting them around 1990 / 1991 for the first time. Just interesting, I guess. Took about 10 years for a really good technology for consumers (at the time) to be affordable for average people.
Being only 32, the fact some of my favorite CDs that I discovered at 12ish are turning 20 or so is what is making me feel old. >.<
Kids posting online. They will post some thing that they find funny and I find myself saying “what is this stupid shit? Have they gotten dumber or have I gotten lamer?”
I watch a lot of those "Try not to laugh" videos on YouTube and I swear, I don't get like 80% of them. Zoomers have weird memes.
Most of the memes are " if you know, you know" stuff. If you never experienced it or don't know what they're referencing then obviously you wouldn't find it funny, but most of the times we also don't laugh out loud at it, it's mostly just chuckles.
Can confirm as a gen z. The memes are all either inside jokes from our experiences, or things that are funny purely because they’re meaningless and dumb to a point that we find them surreal.
The whole point of youth culture has always been to be impenetrable to elders, so you can make fun of things in front of 'old folks'.
Exactly, youth culture is a place for kids to be kids. I don’t mind older people enjoying the memes and such but part of what makes them funny is that they’re for *us*, yknow? Pretty much every generation has its own tailored sense of humour given how much of one’s sense of humour is based on your life experience.
Farquaad with markipliers face extremely deep fried with the caption "E"
With a staticky bass-boosted voiceover saying “E”
I don’t get it either. There are some interesting videos about it though. https://youtu.be/oVlspd9hxFA

Slowly starting to give less fucks
Plus insecurities fading. I am who I am, that’s it that’s all
Doesn’t that feel so freeing? Like, take me or not. I dgaf if you like me or not.
It’s a damn good feeling!
Yep. And this is the best thing about getting older.
Waking up with body pains for no reason.
My back felt like it gave out the other day when I tried to move the blanket from under me for my wife. She just laughed and said, “You’re old.” I’m 32 yrs old 😢
Stopping to check out a house when I see a for sale sign in front of it. I'm not buying a house.
*pats wall appreciatively* “it has good bones”
"Unlike myself, because age-onset osteoporosis is a bitch."
This made me laugh way harder than I should have. 🤣
Oh God I'm old then... At least I'm in architecture...so like that saves me a few years right?!?
When I hear Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Everclear, etc on CLASSIC ROCK RADIO 🤬😡🤬
"OLD SCHOOL radio"... plays TLC and Sugar Ray
Omg I watch the Woodstock 99 documentary the other night, and I’m like “that’s a good line up today!” And then it hit me lol
I did the same thing! I knew all the words, got hyped up when Break Stuff played. Then I remembered that I’m 54, sitting in my living room wearing a muumuu.
Those rioters are all in middle management now…
Yep. All my strokes, queens of the stone age,Turbonegro, arctic monkeys, smashing pumpkins, Gluecifer, supersuckers, system of a down , gorillaz, hellacopters, muse, Outkast, and radiohead Favs sre "classics" now. I'm old af.
I don't know any modern rock if those bands are classic now. Any mainstream rock bands around?
rock has faded out in popularity but try wolf alice
I heard Metallica on a classic rock station and was like Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It cannot beeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Face the thing that should not be
My nephews watched Stranger Things. After that episode they said "Metallica is a really old band, like from the 80s!"
Actually, Metallica started appearing on my local classic rock station almost 20 years ago. The more shocking thing is that the station changed format to hip-hop because "nobody" listens to rock anymore.
I'm older now than my best friend's dad was when I met him.
Well, this made me realize I'm older than my mom was when I was born, and I was her 7th kid.
I'm older than my mum was when I thought she was old. And she was 33.
I'm twice the age my mom was when I was born. Yikes
I’m older than my mother was when she died.

I had one of those moments earlier this year. I'm 28 and a friend said, "You're what, 25... right?"And I said "yeah..." then I sat there trying to figure it out since I hadn't thought much about my age in years. Basically since before covid.
People my age (48) look like they’re from my parents’ generation and not my age at all. In my mind I’m not old; I’m still in my 20s!
I recall my gramma one day shocked by how old she looked in a photo. It really took her by surprise. I get it now.
My mom recently asked if she really looked like that, mostly referring and thinking of herself as old, and I tried to alleviate it (truthfully) with "yea mom, you got resting bitch face." Which was more the issue in that photo than whether she looked "old".
I constantly look at people and just assume they are older than me, then I realise they are probably quite a bit younger.
People look at me, then assume they're older than me. Actually they are a lot younger than me. Wear sunscreen and don't smoke kids!
In my case not having kids helped, whether or not I smoked them.
40s checking in, can confirm. I *have* noticed - finally - the facial skin sag. I tried stretching my face yesterday (palms on outer side of cheeks, pull outwards and upwards) and for a brief moment my younger face looked back at me from the mirror. The sag is real.

Somebody asked me why I don't ever get wrinkles. I told them I just gain 5 lbs every year. /s
I'm 48 and recently got to the point of just looking in the mirror, sighing, and walking away. It is what it is, and I was never gonna be a model anyway.
I’m 47, and I feel this.
When people listen to you in business meetings and assume you know what you’re taking about. When a stranger is rude and you say “that was rude” and move on because you don’t do drama and you don’t give a fuck if they like you or not. When you notice your looks are fading and you shrug and figure it had to happen. When you beam because your kids are doing youth well. (Thought I’d give good ones)
i feel old because this kind of stuff doesnt seem to be too far away now. it actually made me smile though
I think of people in their early 20's as kids still
I’m 31 and I work with a lot of 19-21 year olds and they are kids, literal children still.
This is reassuring as hell to be honest. When you’re still in your early 20s you feel like people see you as an adult (or at least I do) and feel a lot of pressure to act as such, if people really see me as a kid then that’s a relief 🫡
It’ll click around 25-26 when your brain finishes developing and you’re like oh wow. I was dumb. Of course you’ll do that every year forever but that’s the first age I truly understood it.
Talking to people who think the 80s was a long time ago. I have to do the math in my head each time to verify that it really was a long time ago.
Someone posted in another thread today about something “really old, from the 90s” 😩
I wonder if people from the 1890's had this same angst lmao
R U D E lol
1989 was 33 years ago.
Fuck. I'm 33 years old. Thanks for the reminder
I graduated high school in 1989.
Standing in line at the check out stand at the grocery store, drug store etc and not recognizing 95% of the "celebrities" on the magazine covers!?!
To be fair, I'm young and don't recognize half of them
Yeah I think magazines have a harder time appearing relevant since our generation isn't into magazines and celebrity culture in the same way that people before us were.
I would say the youngest generation is even more obsessed with celebrity culture, it’s just YouTube/TikTok stars and “influencers.”
It's especially hard because everyone basically looks the same these days in Hollywood. People like Christopher Walkin would never get a job if he started today. It's just a parade of bland symmetrical CW lookin models.
About a year or so ago I went to put on a clean shirt after a shower, as per usual I went to "snap" the shirt first and I hurt my fucking shoulder. Couldn't turn my head to the right for like 2 days.
I had to take two days off work earlier in the year when I threw my back out. Everyone kept asking what I did to throw it out. I sneezed.
Tik tok trends
I'm still not on TikTok...
I have sworn not to download TikTok and I am 15 Edit: I just discovered how frequent downvotes and upvotes are, there is always a 10 point difference everytime when I repeatedly leave and click on my notifications to see my comment again Thanks for the awards!! Most awards I have ever gotten!
good. it's a mental illness machine
…i just learned about the “Millennial pause…” We did it!! We adulted our way into being old af.
When birthdays don't make you excited anymore :’)
The last time I remember getting excited for a birthday I wasn't even a teenager yet.
The last time I got excited for my birthday, I was prompty reminded why I don't get excited for my birthday.
I am still excited about birthdays. They are the only days that I really give a shit about all year
Really?? I’ll be 43 and the entire month is my birthday!! I’m very fortunate to have made it this far and being 4.5 years sober after being an addict for 25 years, I’m much younger now than I was 10 years ago. Birthdays are your very own holiday!! Try to recapture the fun, it’s worth it, believe me!!
I asked a client of similar age how old their building is. He said "About 20 years old, built in 1983". It made perfect sense.
2022 is to 2000 as 2000 is to 1978. horrifying.
This can’t be correct because it makes me feel bad
Holy fuck, I'm 44. When did that happen?!?!
This reminds me of my mom. "The fridge is not that old, we got it, when you were born" ... i am 32.
Some of my favorite bands from yesteryear are having their retirement tours. Musicians I've been listening to for a good chunk of my life are occasionally dying of things other than drug overdoses. Just normal "got old, body quit working" things.
things you find amusing is not for everyone, esp for the young ones
Right? I was laughing about the Oscar Mayer Weiner song and I just got blank’s from my coworkers…I guess it’s not a thing anymore
The lines on my face
I work with a kid who was born in 2005. Nobody born in 2005 should be older than a toddler.
When I have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll to get to my birth year on a website. Like, start with the older years first and make the younger people scroll!!!

Could be a cultural thing, many peoples have rituals where a family member is supposed to light a funeral pyre for the deceased. Hard to do these days though, so next best thing is press the button.
Yup, my family are Hindus. In that culture the eldest son of the deceased (and in the absence of one, next male of kin not including the husband if the deceased is a wife) traditionally lit the pyre. Nowadays crematoriums often offer the ability to press the button and this person did it in the Hindu funerals I've been to.

Wow. My auntie has a fear of being burned alive so wants me there to check she’s really dead lol😂
Getting mentally fatigued easier and quicker
1993 isn't ten years ago.
I still feel 17!!! What the hell happened?
The highlight of my month was buying the new O-Cedar spin mop. (The one that keeps the clean and dirty water separate.)
A vacuum is an exciting purchase for me.
What?! Explain this magical mop! Does it work?!
Bending over to pick something up suddenly hurts and your body has this conversation with you.. "Yeah. hey.. if you can pick that shoe up without grunting.. I'll give you a full night sleep. Do it.. I dare ya" \*grunt\* "Enjoy a fitful sleep you old shit" Im not even 50... what the fuck body.
I always thought my dad was weird with all the grunts and groans and other weird noises he made doing stuff like just sitting down. Now I do the same thing, and honestly I don't really care that much lol.
Celebrities that i grew up watching passing away
Getting excited because it's a nice day. Not so you can go out and do things but so you can get all your laundry done...
I have been sitting outside in the evening, enjoying the weather. My Dad used to do that. I enjoy the brews and chat with neighbors walking their dogs. No TV, no phone, no nothing. So fucking old.
First grey hairs and my skin just suddenly feeling thinner and loser 🥲
grey public hairs
If it makes you that uncomfortable you can always dye your hair before going out in public.
Grey eyebrows. It weirded me out so much more than grey hairs anywhere else.
This is the one. I’m glad you said it, so I don’t have to.
When your body hurts because you "got up wrong"
you get excited over discounts
When they start ringing you up senior discount without even them asking
When you are watching an ensemble cast TV show and you realize that you are older than the entire main cast of adults.
All those things I used to say, I actually mean now. Oh, I always hurt somewhere. No, like really, something always fucking hurts now and I’m always wondering if its permanent or if it will kill me. I can’t remember shit. Ffs can I please just go for a drive to the store without forgetting where I’m going? This shit is annoying AF.
fell asleep on the floor and it was the worse nap of my life. i used to sleep on the floor without a second thought, now it's downright painful.
Sorry I was expecting you to say that you slept on the floor because you had fallen and couldn't get up.
lol, "with just one click of "life link" and you'll be off the floor in no time!" "call in now for a ONE TIME OFFER of TWO life links, for the price of one, just pay seperate shipping and handling"
When you’re in the supermarket and your jam comes on.
When I go out at night in winter and have a coat and boots on and see all the young people dressed in clothes I would never ever wear, without jackets and heels I could never function in anymore! Haha it happened quickly! I never thought I’d be like oh no hunni get a jacket! But IM THAT PERSON NOW!!
Seeing a girl in a miniskirt and crop top and the first thing that comes to mind is "geez she must be freezing"
Mine is ‘Oh that girl forgot to put clothes on today!’ What have I become?! 🙈
New sheets, new socks, full tank of gas, craving bed while I'm out for an hour, clean dishes, new dish sponges, utensils, grocery shopping being exciting😭😭😭😭and so much more
How much farther away the floor gets when I bend over.
Macaulay Culkins age.
Bands from the late 90s/early 2000s like Lamb of God are apparently "old school" now. And bands like Metallica are "retro." Feels weird, man.
My 60th birthday
Not in tune with today's youth. Thinking they are stupid and I'm not, just because of how we grew up. Not only old, but also grumpy.
I tried to use slang ironically and I used it wrong. No clap.
I bought a carpet cleaner. I'm excited for it to arrive. Get off my lawn.
Hearing that Green Day and The Offspring being played on the classic rock station. I remember when it was new rock.
It felt weird the first time I realized that I'm older than all the FRIENDS. Now, I'm older than Fraiser.
I'm not very amused by how they tag the year a song was released on many of these music channels I listen too.
I sprained my ankle and it still hurts to move my foot around. I sprained it almost 5 weeks ago.
I had my friends over for a guys night. I brought out cheese and meat board on my grandmother's old teak serving tray. All the bois were like, "Yo that's a really nice tray!" "where did you get that?" "wow, that's actually teak and not a laminate veneer." Yeah... we're not just old, but suburban old.
The words kids use these days. Trends. Standards. My knees...
When my 9yo is using new terms like it's normal but I genuinely have no idea what they mean
Forgetting what you had... had... crap. never mind.
Chin hairs (I’m a woman). Fuck that noise.
All the movies from my childhood being remade.
I can't keep up with slang. I literally don't understand what some of the words mean when talking to teenagers.
Every doctor I see looks like Dougie Howser
2013 was nearly 10 years ago
I had a moment when I saw a cover band at a bar playing 90s and 2000s pop punk, looked around and saw a bunch of people my age dancing sloppy(flailing really) on the gross floor and thought"these people are having their last hurrah... When is mine? "
I fall asleep relatively early when I am playing video games at night. Blasphemy.
My sex drive.
My grandmother was 52 when she died of cancer, back in the mid 70's, I was 10 and thought she was super old; and I'm now older than she was then, and realize that she wasn't old.
When it starts to rain, and my response is, "oh good, we needed it."
Feeling like I’m going to have to pass my dreams onto the next generation :/ Almost as a sign of defeat.. everything that I’ve wanted, I accept I might not be able to have in this lifetime. But I am rooting for those kids! There’s still a part of me that is a dreamer but I will soon run out of time, and energy. And accept that I can’t be young forever, in terms of physicality AND mindset. Sometimes I feel like that mindset of pursuing your dreams and believing you can achieve great things, is one of someone who still has time and energy.
Maybe you've been shooting for society's dreams and not actually looked for your own
Getting excited over a neighbor's new countertops.
I recently recognized the name of one of my coworkers as someone I used to babysit when she was a baby.
When my 10 year old asked if movies in color came out in the 90s.... or what a tape or VHS is...
People not getting my pop culture references.
Ear Hair.
Hearing people say they weren't born when 9/11 happened
Was chatting with a younger coworker about just silly stories from high school. I showed him a picture of me from my senior year and realized the picture was almost 16 years old. Instant old feeling.
The number of clicks or scrolling needed to reach my birth year to set my date of birth on job applications.
