I'm getting old and whenever my coworkers make complaints about their kids I always identify way more with the kids. Like my coworkers will complain their kids don't learn cursive, they don't have career plans, they sit on discord and talk about climate change, and they don't want to go to church.

And yeah those kids sound awesome. Cursive is nonsense and career plans are pointless right now, especially if you're like 15. I keep waiting for the moment where I'm supposed to be shocked and appalled at the new generations younger than me, but it hasn't happened. Maybe because I have no kids myself but the youth still hasn't done anything to completely alienate me. Maybe the emphasis on connecting with strangers on social media, or thinking you might get famous on Instagram, but that just seems like all of society and not just kids.

Like when are kids gonna invent a new shocking style of music like punk or like 90s conscious hip hop. The closest thing is the hyperpop stuff but even that seems kinda tame to me. Come on youth, make something that freaks me out. I wanna finally feel like an adult before I'm 50.
