OK this is my list. But first, I need to say that this isn’t a condemnation of those into such thing. They just don’t vibe with me.
- Cannot get into ASMR. I’ve tried. Often its women 20 years younger than me, rubbing their fingernails on hairbrushes. The intentional sounds they make with their lips and fingers are things that would make me want to change seats on a bus.
- Instagram. I was maybe the last person to get a smart phone. It was probably 2016. I’m just fully lazy to take photos of stuff. This is a real issue when I’m single and I need to start putting photos on dating sites, as all pics of me in my phone are me squeezing carrots in my nostrils and similarly goofy things.
- My students’ taste in anime. I try to be all cool and show off my cool taste in anime, maybe drop a Azumanga Daioh clip. It’s all ancient history for 17 year olds.
- Photo and videos done in portrait mode. I guess I don’t watch videos on the go. See #2
Things that the kids these days do better:
- Usually better opinions on current events than people my age
- I wish that cosplay existed when I was a teen. The default when I was younger was drugs.
If anyone insults the kids, I will visit you at your home and do an
You made me realize I haven’t really interacted with anyone between 16-30 in a long time.
My nephew is into fortnite and roblox. In my day we played more competitively oriented games like quake or counter strike (I’m young enough that those were a thing) and I don’t get the appeal of the newer games.
I have bad news for you.![emoji I-was-saying I-was-saying](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b5f78be7-d44d-46fe-b7a4-cacd375ef0ed.png)
Back in my day, I played the original counterstrike when it was just the most popular half life mod you could install. And we put an onion on our belt, because that was the style at the time.
I can speak for all teens, but my students play Valorant, League of Legends, and Apex. Some still play CS.
Okay if the kids are playing League I take back everything nice I said about them!

I wish I knew more about Roblox. It seems like something culturally important is happening there.
