Are we old?

"You are old, father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head —
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," father William replied to his son,
"I feared it would injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

I’m not old, I’m mid-century modern.

The young are cruel.

I once mentioned Paul McCartney to my granddaughter. She looked briefly confused, then said, “Didn’t he sing with Wings once?”

Yeah. He did. Explaining the Beatles was a bridge too far.

Is that the bf of Jennifer Aniston? 😅

Same experience here. But seems that these youngsters aren't that clever nor learn better either

Yep.
Even on here. Trying to get some to appreciate the difference between William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens (not to mention the intervening 250 years) often takes some doing

Who is the new Bradd Pitt? I don't even know.

Absolutely fucking ancient.

The modern computery world is bewildering and the youth speak in such a strange language...

"Mom, Grandpa & Nana are making up words again!" whenever we would use common terminology from our childhood, like "discombobulated".

😅
