Gen X'ers And Millennials Are Revealing The Moments That Made Them Realize They're Officially Old
Last month, I published a post about a viral Reddit thread where a user asked millennials and Gen X'ers to share the things or moments that made them feel old. Well, my post got so many comments I decided to do another post just based on the moments BuzzFeed readers felt old.
Well, it probably comes at no surprise, but that post also got lots of comments!
So, I decided to do another round up a few of those way-too-relatable comments about moments and things that made readers feel ancient:
1."I once trained students who had no idea that Beyoncé was in a group before she went solo. I said, 'Destiny's Child???' and then died a little inside when their eyes went blank."
2."When my teenage clients tell me about a music artist and I go, 'Huh, who?'"
3."I have body piercings that are old enough to drink 😥. Also, the frequency that I find myself jamming out to mall/grocery store music has become undeniable."
4."I own a wonderful horse named Kodakhrome. Kids ask me what his name means, Lol. At least I didn’t name him Fujifilm."
5."I’m now older than most of my coworkers, some of whom are young enough to be my kids. A few of them already joke about me retiring. I’m only in my 40s."
6."What did it for me was hearing music my kids listened to in high school on my oldies channel. It’s jarring to go from AC/DC to Green Day."
