none of these people seem at all cool -- I feel legitimately cooler having been ignorant of their existence

do any of you get that "ehhhh, what do you know, you're young/a kid/etc..." from people in their 60s or older? hate that shit. makes me irrationally angry. maybe i just don't look adult enough. but i'm almost 50...and my back hurts...
it has taught me to try and not do that to people younger than me. and just treat adults like adults. and not talk down to kids. but sometimes i slip up.
48 used to be ancient.

scott I think the right thing to do is to say "hey man, I'm sorry you had to grow up with lead paint and leaded gas, but I'm only 12 years younger than you - thanks for all you did to clean up the environment so we don't have to breathe that shit any more"

ha, i do tend to get defensive. sometimes i'll ask them how old they are and then i'll say "eh, 66, that's not that old, i actually thought you were a lot older..."

this woman came in the store and she was so healthy looking and light on her feet and quick and i figured she was in her 70s and she told me she was 90! i couldn't believe it. and then she told me she had been a dance teacher. so, there you go, everyone start taking dance lessons.

i have always thought that the whole "you're too young to remember that..." line of reasoning was the most demented thing on earth. i get it a lot obviously having to withstand countless boomers in my record store. but people really do believe that you had to be a certain age at a specific time to know what something is.

I am 40, and I know who Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are.

or more accurately they will say "you're too young to know who that is...". as if all knowledge of a person or thing just...stops?
it's all good though. it does teach me what not to do when talking to people.

unfortunately, i am at the age now where i think that most young actors are horrible and dumb and boring. which is kinda sad. broad city duo are heroes to me though. so i'm not a complete monster. there are definitely exceptions.
