You are not a “boomer” if you aren’t in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren’t in your twenties. You don’t go straight from being a kid to being “old”. Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.
Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don’t benefit you in any material way.
edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I’ve even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us
edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don’t let people put you into boxes and further don’t put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you
I think the memes are a consequence of the confusion of the people reaching or nearing thirty. They realize they’re no longer ‘young’ and try to find a new identity by trying to appeal to their peers. But since all their peers are algorithmically suggested all they can think of is ‘hello fellow old people how about those knees eh?’
ok boomer
I’ve been Old since I was 25 and lost my hair
My dad was bald around that age (from pics I’ve seen).
My brother and I have intact hairlines into our mid-30s. My dad used to get pissed when I’d call him bald and say something like “yeah, whatever, you’ll be joining me soon enough.” My brother and I also independently sort of just let our hair grow out.
I’ve always been a disappointment to my dad.
i started turning gray around 19 and that was a long time ago
All jokes aside, wholesome post
