I have wrinkles, I have grey hair, I have back problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, I can't remember anything, the world seems confusing and complicated to me now and I wish things were simpler (which is why I like Lemmy). I definitely don't get kids today or their music.

How am I so old?

You purposefully let yourself slip. I'm 41. I listen to new music, I understand kid's clothing styles (I was not that different in the 90s), I've kept up with modern technology, I kept moving (due to my labor intensive job), and I've eaten well. That's all on you bro. Old does not have to mean outdated.

Edit: reminds me of my Dad who pretty much stopped listening to any music produced after 1982 and has his garage radio permanently set to classic rock. I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I will never stagnate like that.

I'm same age as OP and love Skrillex. Pretty in the loop with tech. Use they/them when asked without complaint. Am out of shape though, need to work on that part. Still miss my Commodore VIC20 and IBM XT though.

I’m the same age as well and when dubstep came out all I could picture was transformers having sex. That’s what it would sound like to me.
