I was active on an "Old Web Revival" forum for a while last year. I was expecting it to be populated by nostalgic gen x and millennials, but it turned out to mostly be zoomers romanticizing the '90s and thinking they could save the internet with Neocities.
After realizing I was the oldest person there I felt like a bumbling grandpa telling meandering stories of the way it used to was, so I eventually left. I haven't been able to find another retro nostalgia forum since then.
That's the one. I felt bad leaving without a word but it was spur of the moment. I just got the sudden realization like I was a teenager still hanging out in the McDonalds Play Place and quietly noped out the door.
Not that I have anything against gen z. I just couldn't relate to most of what they were saying. So I guess a better analogy is that I was like an old man wandering around the mall surrounded by teenagers. Except malls are dead now so gen z still won't relate. Hence: bumbling grandpa.
I also joined the RetroDaze forum before that but there were only two or three other active users and I got the impression at least one of them was an "I voted for Trump" type of guy.
I do get that. I like the place for the discussion as answers seem to be lengthy and generally well thought out, but I do get the impression there's a lot of zoomers there. I just like the idea of a personal site and have found a lot of useful info and ideas there, but yeah totally understand where you're coming from.
