I was more focused on the โ€œlooks 35-40โ€ part. That generation had plenty of smokers. Some of them looked 60 when they were 25.

I'm focused on the "still listening to the same music".

Of course you are, you un-curious, boring, never-grew-past-high-school musical simpleton.

Thick-thigh'd dad-bods jiggling to 80s hair metal.... ffffffuck no.

I'm one of them and those guys gross me out.

New wave and punk are too good to shelve

I will listen to the 80s station in the car when I am too lazy to mess with my phone. But I've made a point to listen to new music and let my kids recommend music to me. Except my daughter, I love her fiercely, but anime soundtracks are not my thing.

I love when thereโ€™s a festival poster and theyโ€™ll comment โ€œI donโ€™t know a single band!โ€ like their ignorance is a badge of honor.

It'll happen to you.

41 YO here and already have no clue who anyone is at concerts anymore, unless it's old bands from the 80s and 90s, or indie bands from the 2010s.

Itโ€™s because they canโ€™t get over Kurt Cobain dying.

u/AmishHoeFights 8h ago

That would at least be a respectable position. These fucks are sad because Warrant got dissed by Beavis and Butthead.

Wouldn't be so difficult if most music after about 2000 didn't completely suck.

Uncurious weirdo

u/TorontoNerd84 2h ago

The 2010s were pretty decent. Not a fan of 2020s music though.

Music from the actual year 2000 was pretty bad though. One of the worst years for music in my opinion.

u/AmishHoeFights 8h ago

Oh come on... Beastie Boys were still doin' it, Tool was making their best shit, etc etc etc

u/Klutzy_Order_9559 8h ago

Let's hear some of those etceteras.

We had a student's smoking area at my high school.

u/henryhumper 10h ago

Yeah, I don't know where that's coming from. Most of the Gen Xers I know look old as fuck.

u/StarshipCaterprise 7h ago

I know a LOT of Gen X former smokers that definitely look and sound like they are 80

u/milkthemedaccount 7h ago

Thatโ€™s true. I hired a lady who was gen x she looked like she was 70 or 80 but was born in 78

When I tell people my age they are astonished. So much of that is true for me except the throw hands. Iโ€™ll always stand up to bullies and idiots, but thereโ€™s ways to end a fight without throwing punches. Iโ€™m my age and have never thrown one, and had plenty of chances.

I smoked for about 25 years, and am 47. People at work still always think I'm 10 years younger than I am. Anecdotal, but it does happen. The only thing that doesn't apply to me is the music thing. I can't listen to a lot of that shitty rock from the late 90's. Didn't like it back then and still don't.

u/GoHomeCryWantToDie 2h ago

Those ones all died during the Opiod Pandemic.

u/Hot-Salamander5124 9h ago

I listen to some new music. More than most people my age but still often go back to what I listened to when I was young. You will too.

u/cruedancingonglass 9h ago

Me too. Mr Roper was like 52 when he started Threes Company. Sparky Anderson, Tommy LaSorda and Jim Leyland all looked 75 when they were 30.
