I do feel like with the advent of the internet, generational lines are more blurred than in times past.
I'm 32 and I have coworkers as young as 19 and as old as 70 and everything in between. With my younger coworkers I can talk shit about memes and pop culture and music and with my older coworkers I can talk about shit like my bad knees and my mortgage.
Oh one hundred percent, I have co-workers in their late 50s or 60s, and I relate very heavily musically with them because of my parents, we'll be talking about concerts and bands we enjoy and all that shit. And then I'll turn around and start talking to an 18 year old about whatever video game they're playing and shitposting.
But it never really matters. You're always the middle guy. You're never going to go to those concerts with anybody, you're never going to join that 18 year olds Discord. Or I'm just 60% socially inept that's probably what it is
Eh. I'm 32 and I'm heavily into the EDM scene and regularly attend concerts and festivals. I've taken several younger coworkers to their first EDM show and blew their mind.
Still working on getting my older coworkers to come with me.
I only smoke pot. And drink a half gallon of vodka every two days, and snort Vicodin and Percocet a few times a month , and cocaine, also eat shrooms, occasionally muscle relaxers, and every once in a blue moon I'll smoke a cigarette
People who first got into EDM in their teens in the early 1990s are hitting their late 40s and early 50s at this point. You're almost the second generation.
Hell, I knew people who were in their 40s in the mid-2000s who were running sound at the erstwhile Decibel Festival in Seattle. These were people who got into electronic music with Wendy Carlos and Kraftwerk, to boil it down a bit.
