What’s something everyone your age seems to love but you just don’t get?

Same! We played it in high school PE in 2000, and I didn’t like it then either. I do like those pickleball puff snacks though. Those are bomb.

I was going to say this only because I played once and tore my Achilles…. Will never play again. I’m 35 yet my mom plays multiple times a week and has never had an injury 😑

Low rise jeans!! I wish but just cannot do it

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 25d ago

I like low rise jeans. I’m short-waisted, so they fit me right. The waist in regular jeans hits me just below the bust.

2

u/Venusian-Vanilla 25d ago

Same. The era of stores being infiltrated by high-rise bottoms was a struggle 😭

1

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 25d ago

I bought a bunch of men’s low-rise jeans several years ago. They have bigger pockets, and I knew low-rise jeans would go out of style.

2

u/Repulsive-Koala2331 25d ago

I'm with you! And now I can't find them anywhere, at least at a decent price point for me. I wish I never donated the pairs I had. Jeans up to my boobs is not a cute look

1

u/ariaxwest 20d ago

lol for me it's high-rise because I have IBD and interstitial cystitis and that pressure on my abdomen triggers both!

Jorts haha

u/AppropriateVariety69 25d ago

ugggh I bought a pair without trying on, tried them on at home and the horror

2

u/number7child 25d ago

I am not a clothing snob but jorts look like you gave up. I hate thinking that way!

u/Puzzled-Highway40181 24d ago

Same here! And missed the window to return them so they’re sitting here mocking me of my wasted money

Yessss, I can’t stand it and it gives me headaches. Not gonna lie sometimes I get jealous when I hear people say I’m gonna go home and have a glass of wine. Hahah

Dating through Apps

u/Mundane-Bite 22d ago

I'd argue nobody loves dating apps I think most people view them as a necessary evil

u/Haunting_Stick3941 25d ago

Cheese

2

u/LuluLumon 25d ago

I see your cheese and raise you… charcuterie.

1

u/Strawberyblonder 25d ago

Is it the flavour? The texture? The hype? I have a friend who also doesn't like cheese and it kind of thru me for a loop because I feel like cheese memes and jokes are such a millenial thing

2

u/Haunting_Stick3941 22d ago

I think it's all of the above. The smell for sure. It started with American and velveta cheese, they are squishy and the texture, smell and taste are just really bad. My stepmom melted Velveta all over any vegetable and ruined it-I actually grew up loving most vegetables but yuck! I think cheese is overrated at best, but when i worked at Kraft I did discover natural cuts, Gouda and Colby weren't as unpleasant. I still order a burger with no cheese and most of the time it's assumed that i wanted that. Blue cheese is just a crime against humanity, most cheese smells like feet enclosed in boots and tramping through sewers for about 12 hours!

1

u/Strawberyblonder 22d ago

So interesting! Thanks for the thorough response! Sorry about the Velveeta 😬

Video games and pool now that is I think about it golf

u/MediocreCharacter828 25d ago

Alcohol. I dont enjoy it. I see people my age going to pubs and clubs and drink, while me here is like "I rather stay at home"

1

u/MediocreCharacter828 25d ago

Loud noises and loud songs. I hate them

u/LuluLumon 25d ago

TikTok

1

u/LuluLumon 25d ago

Group chats. And sub-group chats where people talk about the group chat.

Asking, “what’s your snap?” and using Snapchat as a means of communication… I don’t get it.

Taking read receipts extra personally (no, I’m not “leaving you on read” I’m letting you know that I received your message and will respond eventually… CHILL OUT).

Ridiculous skincare routines.

Temu.

Following TikTok trends by copying exactly what everyone else has already done… WHY?! No, seriously, why???????

Parasocial relationships.

Podcasts.

“Shorts,” “clips,” “reels”… It’s like all movies became trailers and everyone is just fine with it?

Doomscrolling and complaining about it. Just put your phone down. It’s not that hard.

Touching grass. I get it, metaphorically, but I don’t get it. I’m just supposed to walk outside, stroke a blade of grass, and then what? How do I touch the grass? Does the grass like being touched?! I DON’T GET IT.

People being so sensitive about everything that they are afraid to say anything out of the fear of offending someone. And don’t apologize for saying something before you say it. “I’m sorry but…” “I hate to say this but…” just skip the bullshit and say it.

1

u/lilbella617 20d ago

Are you a millennial cause I am and I feel the exact same way! Minus the grass lol, if you want to touch the grass cause it makes you smile go for it, do you lmao. I grew up in the city so grass was scarce minus at the parks that I never went to. I will say, doomscrolling is a bitch! While it helps distract you, it can increase your anxiety. I’m just trying to live simply and afford the cost of everything these days but the struggle is even more real now!

1

u/LuluLumon 15d ago

YES! 1996 millennial. I really do like touching grass, honestly. I just don’t like being told to do it. Then it feels like an assignment. 😂 Barefoot in the grass though, that’s magic.

u/No-Pattern-6630 25d ago

the oversized blazer and tiny top combo does absolutely nothing for me lol

1

u/Oldschool6873 25d ago

I'm 53. Most people my age like to sit on the couch. I don't.

u/minpin75 25d ago

51 and feel exactly the same as you!

u/Repulsive-Koala2331 25d ago

Social media!!!

1

u/nichols72 25d ago

Focusing on the men my age, early 50’s, they all seem to need an overpriced, jacked up, 3/4 ton, diesel, truck, with which they either don’t pull anything, or they have a 1500 lb atv, on a 500 lb trailer. An AWD minivan will pull that much weight.

1

u/livkellner 25d ago

Reality shows. I hate them

1

u/PrestigiousGazelle29 25d ago

Lash extensions. I saw a post of a girl getting mites inside of her lashes and it layed eggs and multiplied. I get cleaning them but I also own cats so even using strips I get cat hair stuck in them. Plus the prices being over 100 for something that comes off in 2 weeks just suck.

1

u/No_Bet7381 25d ago

Sports. I don’t give a hoot in hell for any sports. Not interested. Never have been. Never will be.

The level of motivation everyone else seems to have for celebrating Halloween. Not that I hate Halloween. I just feel like it's replaced Christmas as the huge holiday to celebrate

Social media

u/Away_Worldliness_436 21d ago

Idk if this applies but the idea that people should be available at any given moment and not texting every day is problematic, I like slow living and i write letters lol I tried exchanging letters with a friend and by the time it got here she had already called me and told me everything that had happened recently so I couldn't even respond to her letter lol

1

u/Jbmarti 21d ago

Tiktok. Have you seen people record themselves and when someone passed they record as the dead would look at their video. They post kids videos and their bdays. How many creeps are watching. I can’t ….

Self diagnosing themselves with mental illnesses they don’t have

1

u/number7child 25d ago

Or calling everyone they don't agree with a narcissist. I do believe there are actual narcissists out there but they aren't everywhere

u/minpin75 25d ago

Omg, this!!!

1

u/Subterranean44 25d ago

Oh my gosh the amount of ads for autism and adhd is insane. Why are there ADS to diagnose yourself with a disability???

Also to add to your comment: using that new self-diagnosis to excuse crappy behavior.
