I'm 32 btw, and I don't consider myself "old" like millennials often exaggerate....32 is still young, but time creeps along for all people and there is one thing that when I see it, it makes me have sort of an odd dread feeling.
People will post memes of like "this show is now X amount of years old...feel old yet?"
And that stuff never does. But the one thing that makes me go "that can't be right....that must be a glitch...it can't be that old" is those rare times I come across a Youtube video that was uploaded near the beginning, like a video from 2007 or something and the video will say "uploaded 15 years ago, or 16 years ago"
That one hits me in the gut every time. I remember in middle school Youtube being a new thing and it doesn't feel like the type of thing that is half my lifetime ago..It feels such a modern, part of this crap society that when I stumble across videos that were 16 years ago....I don't know...it gives me a similar feeling like when you watch a black mirror episode...there's something dystopian feeling about it.
I'm 43 and it wasn't untill the 2020s until I felt "old". People saying things were 30 years old and I would think no thats from the 90s and realizing that is thirty years ago, made me feel old
37 and same. For me it was 2020. COVID and how retarded 70% of America acted made me realize fuck all these people. Fuck them, fuck their opinions, fuck their demands, fuck everything. And then I realized I was old.
