IYO, do you think you belong to a specific generation?

I've been thinking of it over and over and thought I'd ask someone else. Lately I've been noticing queer things. For example, older people, like 35 or so, tend to listen to older music in their car players, which is now considered obsolete and most youngsters probably never even heard it. I myself seem to be attracted to 80s and early 90s stuff. Even though I haven't been following and listening to music and stuff lately, I feel I'm stuck right there, back in the past. It's not only music, but the sense of fashion, and general perception of reality. How do you think, is it possible to 'update' yourself to present-day realities? Or, regardless of your own will and basing on your past experiences, you're all stuck in the past and are unable to accept changing views on life and new practices just because you can't understand them?
Now that so many people seem to live in a cell of a present day, how do you think their past (like them belonging to a previous generation) would affect their life experiences, like them being unable to perceive true reality, what it really is?

too many questions. my mind can't handle them all!

Music is "obsolete?" Mmmmk. Then the "music" they're making today is obsolete the day it's released. Classic rock is better than any of the crap kids listen to these days.

Edit: I'm not old, most of the music I enjoy was made before I was born or when I was too young to appreciate it.

i'm with you in terms of the music. i like 80's and early 90's music. i HAAATE modern pop music and crap like that. though Coldplay ROCKS.

but fashion and stuff? i dress for comfort, but i like today's fashions.

in my opinion, you're old-fashioned if you're not able to change ur ways and adapt to the ever-increasing speed at which today's trends are changing.

in that sense, i like to think i'm pretty hip

I wonder if changing your ways means having tattoes. I will never get a tatoo!!! Never in my life.

Am I "obsolete" because I don't dress with sagging pants, don't look like a thug, don't listen to crappy-assed gangsta rap, and don't drive a ricer with a huge wing and a fartpipe?

Of course not. But remember when you were young... It all seemed to have so much sense, what it is for young people now.
