It’s one thing to realize that you’re no longer in the youngest generation around, it’s another thing altogether to realize that the younger generation is now going to college and taking over the culture and you’re no longer cool if you ever were.
Though to be honest, it’s not all bad. The pressure to be cool is overwhelming. Not to mention stupid. To be told “hey don’t worry about it, there’s a whole new shift of people competing to be cool now, nothing is expected of you, you’re relieved of duty” is sort of nice.
So I don’t mind these tweets that make me feel old. I embrace them. I enjoy them. And I hope you will too.
12. Oh, baby
How do you still have the stamina to go to a club?
The dj really said “where my 2000s babies at” and the crowd went wild. That’s when I knew it was time for me to go home.

11. Rock my world
Timeline aside, that’s not their genre.

10. Sharpen up
Do kids use exclusively mechanical pencils now? Do they use no pencils? Help me.

8. How touching
“Let me tell you about this little piece of madness called the scroll wheel.”
I gave my old iPod to my son: “Daddy, I don’t like it because it doesn’t work”

6. Compliments of the house
Wait. This was posted in 2018. If that guy was born in ’98, that means he was either 20 or 21.
In other words, exactly the perfect age range for ID to be required.
Tonight at work ID’d a guy and he said ‘alright love I’ll take it as a compliment.’ He was born in 1998

5. Cool hang
“PHONES ONCE HAD CRADLES, LIKE BABIES! I SWEAR IT!”
My daughter just asked why we say "hang up" the phone and now I feel 90.

It was a virus portal is what it was.

2. Pay to play
It took us way too long to realise cable TV was a scam.
Watching cable with my eldest son and a commercial comes on. He asked to skip it and I said you can’t skip tv ads. I then told him you have to pay to watch these too and he looked at me like I’m crazy

1. Girl, bye
Just hit me with the truth.
“bye bye bye” just came on and my 14 year old brother goes “what’s that from? high school musical?”
sigh we’ve reached the generation that doesn’t know who *NSYNC is pic.twitter.com/5ct2sw5nAC

These tweets have made me feel so old that I think I can legally retire now.
How old do you feel, and why?
Tell us in the comments.
