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.

Disgusting wasteful trash, but same as it ever was for American trends I suppose
This isn't a young person thing at all, but Crocs aren't fashion. They're something I might wear to walk to the corner store or walk in the rain, but I don't get the new appeal of them as hip.
