I can feel it happening now. I don't know what's going on on the real internet anymore.

Once I was a spry young adult and all the memes and culture was made for me. Now I don't even know what the kids are saying its like a different language.

I'll watch the minority report even though I'm not a fan of getting my info from YouTube, and I wonder if I'm the boomer watching fox news now. I don't even really like Sam sedar just with the boomers dying out media is made for millenials now and I'll click, click bait if I see it. I try to absorb everything through RSS feed if possible, and add sources like minority report to there so I can keep up, and fuck more and more it feels like the news hits me like it hit my fox news grandpa, and I'm developing my own figure heads I shake my fist at angrily and triggers. I'm starting to get old people junk mail. I haven't used windows so every time I stupidly agree to help someone I actually have to ask them where a specific menu is or how to interact with their ui. It threw me off when they removed file extensions from being visible.

I can feel the process, I'm kind of losing touch with normal people, the youths, a lot of people I used to relate to. I see people in public watching short form content and I judge them slightly, so many small things I've noticed becoming what I would describe as a ignorant old man. Someone's going to try to make me use a new app or I'm going to get confused and scared when I can't use Linux.

Its partially by choice but man the world just isn't really made for me like it used to be. Maybe being out of touch is the inability to change with the times. Mainstream media is just doing millenial fanfare now and milking us like they used to milk the boomers, so now everything I used to like has this weird corperate nolstalgic haze added to it. They're brining back mike myers to do a new Austin powers movie which will be fine and I'll watch it but it will feel alienating like they're trying too hard to appeal to me like they're trying to playcate a child. And all the cool new shit is made by tiktokers and stuff I'm too old to understand. I don't know what the hell the backrooms are or understand why I'm invested but thats what's probably actually where the "real" culture is at. The semi organic culture that is the most free flowing and inventive is often with the youths, and you just slowly lose touch with that.
