If not for the three grey hairs peeking out, I’d feel as fresh as new. It seems like only yesterday we’d drink Capri Sun, burn CDs and listen to the Smashing Pumpkins. Speaking of the latter, kids these days call it “dad rock,” and how can you blame them?

The oldest of Gen Z, aka the newest generation that was born between 1997 and 2012, is now 24. No, it’s not you who are 24, it’s the kids who have no clue what “pick up the phone'' means.

So today, we’re diving deep into the world of no illusion, ready to face one fact we all dread (hence the booming skincare industry among millennials!)—we are old. Thanks to the corner of Reddit ‘Heck I’m Old,’ we have a collection of posts to make you feel not just old, but rather ancient. “When you look at kids nowadays and see their music you can't help but think of how everything is old,” says the group’s description and from what you see below, they ain’t lying.

Zoom Meetings!

Zoom Meetings!

mark30322 Report

If you ever feel like time is passing at the pace of a hadron collider, you can be sure you’re not the only one. Most of us feel that the passage of time is inevitable, and that it only makes us older (but also wiser, more confident and happy overall!).

Having said that, it's no secret that our modern society is obsessed with freezing and even turning back time. This ageing paranoia that’s sweeping across our society has been heavily fueled by social media, where young folks constantly put pressure on achievements, looks, and everything, really. Its competitive nature shows that someone is doing better and has accomplished more by your age than you have.

Being scared of ageing is not only nothing new, it seems like it creeps into the minds of younger generations obsessed with anti-ageing life choices earlier than ever in history. In 2018, a report from the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) found that millennials felt the most negatively towards ageing, viewing it as a steep decline and assuming dementia and loneliness as inevitable.

In some extreme cases where fear of getting older interferes with your life, doctors diagnose people with gerascophobia. “Gerascophobia sufferers have very frequent thoughts about changes in their appearance due to ageing and increasingly losing control over their life as they get older. These thoughts trigger panic attacks, shortness of breath, sweating and shaking," Dr. Rose Aghdami, a consulting and coaching psychologist, told Refinery29.

"Their behavior is affected too, as they often avoid certain activities which remind them of ageing, withdraw from social contact, and become more isolated."

The RSPH has also urged people to stop using the term 'anti-ageing' popularized by the beauty industry, since it could be putting pressure on women to see ageing as something inherently detrimental. Another 2017 study found that 30% of women under 35 were regularly using anti-wrinkle products, a fact that’s so obvious when browsing through social media that you don’t need a survey for it

Ha my first phone was a Tracfone, it was small and rectangular, impossible to text on (for the younger kids here you had to push a certain numbers several times to get the letter/cap/lower case and then hit the big middle button to insert it). The phone didn't have wifi or emojis but it had tetris and the snake game. This phone was my Middle School phone. Only when I graduated in 2013 and a few years later did I get these fancy wifi phones

I'm 37 and I remember our family getting our first smart phone. The classic Nokia.... We had one for the longest time for the 3 of us. Whoever was leaving would take it with them since we had the land lines at the house. I still remember my Uncle saying "they have a sms option. 10 cents to type out each message and send it. How stupid is that? Why would you type a message out and send it when we can just call now so easily. I don't see that catching on." We also had to try to keep our calls under a minute or two until after 9pm. A little later they bumped it down to 7pm.

Youtube comments under the song from 2004: "Like if you are still listening to this". What do you mean still? 2004 was like two months ago.

To cushion the blow, pine trees grow quickly. Ours went from 1 foot to 10 feet in less than 10 years.

No, those must be an American thing. We have double desks in Germany, with two kids sharing one desk and they still look the same now as they did in the 90ies.

I love scratch and sniff stickers. Who remembers when magazines had an advertisement for perfume and it had a scratch and sniff sample of the perfumes scent. I thought they were awesome.

Well, be honest, in USA is more things celebrated as historical. Once i was on a police station in small city near New York and on the walls was a sign, something like “rich history of the town Sayreville” and there was a date “incorporated in 1920”. Yes, my milk in fridge is older and have richer history 😀😀 No offense though, i know America is really young compared to Europe ☺️

PC gaming in the 90's started with blocky 4-color graphics... and ended up with full-blown 3D. No other decade has experienced such a dramatic technological jump in gaming, especially with regard to computers.
