Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]

OK this is my list. But first, I need to say that this isn't a condemnation of those into such thing. They just don't vibe with me.
- Cannot get into ASMR. I've tried. Often its women 20 years younger than me, rubbing their fingernails on hairbrushes. The intentional sounds they make with their lips and fingers are things that would make me want to change seats on a bus.
- Instagram. I was maybe the last person to get a smart phone. It was probably 2016. I'm just fully lazy to take photos of stuff. This is a real issue when I'm single and I need to start putting photos on dating sites, as all pics of me in my phone are me squeezing carrots in my nostrils and similarly goofy things.
- My students' taste in anime. I try to be all cool and show off my cool taste in anime, maybe drop a Azumanga Daioh clip. It's all ancient history for 17 year olds.
- Photo and videos done in portrait mode. I guess I don't watch videos on the go. See #2
Things that the kids these days do better:
- Usually better opinions on current events than people my age
- I wish that cosplay existed when I was a teen. The default when I was younger was drugs.
If anyone insults the kids, I will visit you at your home and do an 
I tend to like the young folk and identify with them way more than people my age, not in a creepy way I hope. Probably because I don't have kids and am terminally online. I'm optimistic about everything. I don't think there's anything about younger people I fundamentally don't understand.
I don't get sending huge amounts of money to streamers, but I also don't have huge piles of money to throw around.
I actually like how younger people are going more minimalist in their fashion taste. Lots of reappropriation of stereotypical work clothes, like Dickies pants, overalls, stuff like that. That's a neat trend I've noticed.
Cool and all, but like, trying to get a pair of lined jeans for working in the cold now costs 2x as much because of this trend. Zoomers you're great but please leave some for the rest of us.
It’s just high quality clothing usually the problem is when the arsehole capitalists notice and start transitioning into “fashion wear” ehatevefkfmcken
Have you tried Duluth Trading? They're pricey, you're going to spend 70$ for a pair of work pants, but they use good materials and have good construction, plus cool stuff like stretch DWR fabrics that are very abrasion resistant. I just bought new pants for the first time in, idk, maybe 7, 8 years? because the crotch gusset in my cargos finally gave out. And it's a repairable rip, too.
