    Isn’t that the age now of people who listened to limp Bizkit? How is that weird? Reminds me of someone telling me I’m 38 and too old to wear a Nirvana sweater, but Nirvana is like a 30 year old band so…

      Yeah just like when my work colleague laughed at me this week when I mentioned I play games. You still play games? He asked. Yes I do, it is what I enjoy to do. What do you in your spare time? Melt away watching ads on free to air TV? laughs in gaming

      BTW I’m 38 too

        I guess I too missed the memo that says you’re supposed to outgrow everything that brought you joy as a child. I’ll probably be an old geezer and still be playing videogames, watching cartoons and reading comic books.

          You aren’t allowed to enjoy anything current, only nostalgia is socially acceptable. If you put a lot of money into a vintage atari or some shit you would be like a hero

          I got pulled over by a cop for speeding when I was 49 and he gave me shit because he smelled the joint I was smoking. “Aren’t you too old to be smoking pot?” Fuck you pig, although I didn’t phrase it exactly like that. I actually said “you’re right, I’m sorry sir”.

      I’m fucking 56 and Nirvana hit it big when I was 23. I’m supposed to not listen to fucking Nirvana? Make fun of me for listening to Black Country, New Road for fuck’s sake.

      I think people who would say that might recognize Nirvana as more of a gen z fashion brand than an actual band. Like they know it’s a band but the first assumption is that’s not the driver of anyone’s interest in it.
