Definitely, although depending on the subject this can be largely out of choice. I mean I think on a site filled with young nerds you're going to get less of the I used to be with it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV0wTtiJygY] response so much as people who've always been disillusioned with contemporary popular culture and the things that are held up as supposedly being representative of their generation simply continuing to be nonplussed and disinterested with what's happening around them. From an outsiders perspective 'it' has always been weird and scary. For example, fashion is for shallow cunts has never been my cup of tea so I'm not lamenting the fact that I lack a Peaky Blinders haircut, or a lovely man bag to accompany my thick rimmed faux nerd glasses, skinny rolled up jeans with no socks and flannel shirt. And on that level I think I'm now taking stock of the fact that as much we might laugh at 80's fashion there were probably a lot of people back then who didn't dress like twats mocking the trend hoppers like we mock hipsters today, yet kids will look back on this kind of thing in 20 years thinking that was the norm and that we were all idiots, all the while sporting some even worse apparel. With music I haven't listened to the radio or music channels (why do these still even exist incidentally? I feel like other people are out of touch for even still engaging in these formats) by choice for about 10 years now, so other than being forcibly exposed to 'Shake it Off' for the 50th time in the odd car ride I have no idea who's #1 or who's trendy with the kids these days and I don't want to know. But that's not to say I'm by any means averse to new music or even popular new music to a certain extent (Tame Impala are popular right?) just that with the internet I have such a wider pallet to select from that there seems no point in paying any mind to who's cracking the singles charts right now. Also reality TV is cancerous garbage of the lowest order and the fact that things like TOWIE, Geordie Shore, Made in Chelsea etc. have an audience continues to astound me, especially when even the 'reality' element of it is largely manufactured. So on those levels I'm very much intentionally keeping myself out of the loop, but being really behind on what TV shows, vidja garmes and films that are gaining traction and I might really like kinda has me worried that I'll start a conversation with someone and have absolutely zero frame of reference to what they're going on about and on a person to person level I have a hard time relating to people in general.
