Post things you've seen the younger generation do that take your mind off things like balding and your failing marriage. I just recently took a beach vacation and got sunburned. I was swimming alone in the ocean hoping to get sucked off by a fish when I noticed some kids playing who were prob 12-15. They would point at big waves coming and shout something like "Fortnite!" or "DaBaby!" and "Among Us!". I'm hip! I know what a fortnite is! But what did that have to do with the waves? Was the visage of an unremarkable rapper in the ocean? Those kids were laughing and super entertained by doing this. I will probably be confused by this for the rest of my life. e: spelt fortnite wrong

My ex didn't get her license until she was 30, and took a driver's ed class with a bunch of teenagers. One of them put up their hand and asked how the deer know to cross specifically at deer crossing signs.

My friend saw children chase one another around while shouting "SUSSY BAKA" at one another and I think that's just swell, honestly.

I always double-take whenever I'm reading a post or hear someone talk about not having a driver's license as an adult. Just really weird to me that some people people manage to live without driving.

I'm 34 and I don't have a driver's license because I live in New York City & have epilepsy.

The wave is breaking north, south, or there’s a tongue of water in the middle maybe? But like they don’t want dweebs catching their wave by just saying it would be my guess.

I was just minding my own business reading a novel at the coffee shop yesterday when I see a load of typical loose pant gen z'ers crossing the street. They were all just laughing at looking at eachother and saying poo poo. The gently caress is so drat funny Also this was on 9/11 so seemed pretty disrespectful?

I always think I'm having a stroke for a second when I see a little kid go from walking to gliding. Then I realize they're wearing Heelys and I think to myself if I tried to do that I'd just hurt myself and/or somebody else.

Girls around 20ish around here are suddenly wearing blazers. Four sizes too big. With enormous shoulder pads. And I’m like, no! We tried this in the 80’s! It did not work!

I feel this way when I see someone casually skateboarding down the sidewalk and drinking/talking on the phone or whatever. I just think about How I’d just immediately eat poo poo ten seconds into a call cause I hit a tiny pebble.

sometimes I'll overhear people talking in youtuber/tiktoker voice; highly energetic, exaggerated reactions, giving verbal essays... I'm not confused by it though, I know exactly why they do it. I guess I'm at the age where everything is very clear and easy to comprehend... I look forward to the day I can't fathom something I see though.

instead of watching the same tv shows and listening to the same music I did when I was their age, which were good, they watch other shows and listen to other music, which are bad. this is very concerning and makes me worried for the future of our civilization.

Young people nowadays are saying things we, somethingawful users, have been saying for two decades. Seriously, it's taken the mainstream 20 years to learn how to beat memes like dead-horses; and we were doing that poo poo in 2001. Just remember how ahead of your time we all were. When it wasn't cool to do so... when you were lonerized for meming YTMND's instead of gaining slight social cloud for it. Those were the days.

All the teens in my beach community are really into Elliot Wave Theory and will yell things like "50-day EMA!" and "4th Wave Bottom!" before doing a gnarly "surf's up", cowabunga.
