Realizing how you're old

[Bornstarch]

Back when I was a little kid, I remember my mom got upset when I told her to come watch an old band on TV, thinking it was from her "era." It was Mr. Sandman.



She got upset and said that it's not from her time. It was for people older than her. Her bands were the monkees



I always remember that moment. As a young kid, I associated her with everything that was old. Humphrey Bogart, Nat King Cole, Clark Gable, etc.. But I only realized much later on that there was such a huge gap.

Not too long ago, this similar situation happened to me. I was listening to Metallica and a young relative thought it was the Beatles. She associated my era with a band decades before I was even born.

Sometimes I'm walking and see an older guy on the street and realize that guy is in his 30s... and I'm in my 40s. For a second, I always see myself as a young guy until reality sets in

My dad told me he started realizing it when he sat down to read the newspaper and started noticing he knew more and more of the people dying in the obituaries.

I feel it (turning 35 soon) when I realize how much the world I grew up in has changed and how different things are now.

You are correct sir but we had shame at one point and the shit was more covert.

My cousins were recently excited cause they got Olivia Rodrigo tickets. Evidently that’s a really big deal. I have no idea who the fuck that is

Understandable, they are "virtually identical" after all.
