I was going through some old emails I sent 10+ years ago and visibly cringed at the 'cool' language I used, the same way I don't understand half of the newer lingo today.

Once pop culture moved onto social media in the 2010s, I was completely lost. These days I've just learned to embrace it. It's freeing, in a way.

For me, all this new music, I just don’t understand it.

Am I so out of touch....? No, it's the children who are wrong.

But really, I admit I don't know what some of the categories on here mean. Never heard of "depop" or "swame" before. Maybe they're just website names.

Twitch ruined internet chats with memes, and emote posting. I like the emotes, but it's like everything sounds like a joke online now with like pog, poggers, poggies, etc.

The thing I don't get is when people just type "W" or "L". Why bother even posting anything? So strange.

I think I had an existential crisis almost one year ago. My neurologist prescribed me some Lexapro. I never took it, but it's still in my medicine cabinet. I definitely don't feel like I belong, a lot of times, but I have started to learn to just embrace life's ups and downs day to day. Just now starting to feel normal again. Well, not normal but as you get older, you learn to cope.

Millenial here. I never have a clue what's going on.

I wonder if any of the older posters here have any advice for us youngins.

That feeling of being out of place will peak in your early - mid 30s and for guys it mostly gets better in your 30s or early 40s. You gotta ride it out and resist getting bitter about change. Definitely regular exercise and a diet that doesn't make you feel like crap will help the process.

 

[joachimlee]

Yeah definitely feel you on that

I definitely can relate sometimes, I'm only in my late 20s but I feel like I'm 40 with the rate of technological advancement and lingo often!

I feel like it can also be reassuring to know that this is universal and will literally happen to everyone so it's just better to come to peace with it and enjoy being out of touch lol
