Man, I'm 17 years older than you. It ain't that different.

You know, other than the aching joints, the gray hairs sprouting, having a strange urge to yell at anyone that steps on your grass (even if you don't have grass), and a growing certainty that the newest generation are inherently crazy.

But other than that, it's exactly the same as 33.

I'm not far behind you, I don't think the younger generation are crazy at all.

When we were young we wanted shit the Olds considered mad, it was actually worse during the cold War, there were things you couldn't talk about.

Boomers were epic assholes though, and dumb as fuck, so maybe that biases me, the Youngs just seem adorable in their unbelievable passion for shit that vague barely seems to matter. Everybody needs a hobby.

that part was meant as a joke about old farts always saying the next generation is worse than their own.

Tbh, no single generation is free of assholes, nor is any free of good people. That's because people are assholes for the most part, and every generation has people that aren't :)

But, yeah, the amount of energy pumped into very niche things seems to be unusually high for kids currently. It never ceases to make me happy though.
