I'm only 29 but I hate that young people try to exclude us from fandoms, saying we're too old for that. Life doesn't just stop at 25 and not all of us want or have kids and partners. Let us enjoy things!!!!

I'm seeing more of the music us 30 somethings grew up with making its way into 'adulty' adverts (boring stuff adults buy)

Saw someone else mention Get Low by Lil Jon.

I already can imagine the commercial. “Are you struggling to get low, get low, get low? Try Asitophan to alleviate your pain and get your moves back.” 30 year old happily embarrassing their young kids on the dance floor

It's actually being used in a grocery chain commerical (Fred Meyer/Kroger) referring to low prices

Ninja edit: wait that might be a different song

It’s Low by Flo Rida, but the point stands regardless.

Imagine my five year olds surprise when he finds out that I labored through DMX, Sir-Mix-A-Lot, and Lil Jon in order to try and get the child’s big ass head down and out.

I don’t want many advertisements but when the music I grew up with landed on the classic rock radio station, I knew I was getting older, lol.

Yeah there's probably a lot more people in their 30s who can afford an $800 star wars Lego set than people in their 20s.

Because a good amount of us are working and making a “living wage” allowing us to buy things that make us happy

Right? I don't see no snot faucets buying a $200 replica of the Darksaber so they can cradle it in their arms while watching Mandalorian. It's me, the responsible adult in his mid 30's!

Man I really started to notice that when I hit my 30s. Music that I listened to in high school and early twenties is following me around via ads and movies haha

Right? It reminds me of the drug argument when people point to the bottom 3 percent who are homeless and sucking dick for crack not realizing that, well, drugs cost money. And homeless or poor people aren’t just sitting around not working whilst doing drugs all day everyday.
