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 
There’s an entire piece of at home technology that used to exist and tons of people used to have that I don’t think anybody under the age of 25 has ever actually seen: The VHS rewinder.
Wow yeah honestly I'm under 25 and I grew up with a VCR but I didn't have a VHS rewinder, we just rewound the tapes using the VCR itself. I was familiar with the rewinders existing but I don't think I've ever seen one in person.
I have one of those at home. It's strange that I'm a young millennial that grew up watching things on Laser Disc.
lol I just saw laserdisc v DVD stuff on the first ep or two of the sopranos and I was like "wow I thought laserdisc was dead by then"
Basically I remember watching my first movies on only Laser Disc around the same time the Sopranos came out. That and VHS tapes. My father isn't going to get rid of something he bought brand new in the 80s. Still works fine along with his old speakers.
I had to replace the tweeters but I'm still rocking speakers that I think are 80s. Haven't been real interested in holding onto laserdisc or VHS tho lol
My folks have speakers from the 80s that still sound great today and they are LOUD. The loudest I've ever turned them up was halfway, and I had to leave the house because it was so loud.
my grandparents had one and I think maybe still do
I've used it a whopping like twice, we switched to DVD when I was quite young
When i was a wee lad I hid my weed in one. Successfully escaped the notice of a searching sherriff. Nobody checks the VHS rewinder.
My family had one shaped like a little car
checkout richie rich over here, has seen a VHS rewinder in real life
