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'm not even old. But I agree with all four points.
Never got into asmr, and I just listen to some music instead of asmr.
I also got a smart phone around 2017. Before that I used keypad ones like samsung. I had one of those ipad mini I borrowed from my uncle but that was useless and a brick. My dad used to have a samsung smart phone and he gave it to me once he got a new one. I kept using frail old phones till 2018. In 2019 I guess I bought a decent redmi phone until which I again was using a keypad phone (previous phone was fried had to use a keypad after). I do post on Instagram once in a blue moon.
I can also concur with the point on anime. I don't know very specific anime except current long running ones.
No to potrait video. Just no.
