There were 3 elderly sisters living together who were ages 92, 94 and 95.
The oldest went upstairs one evening to take a bath. As she was getting in the tub with one foot in and one foot out, she called down to her sisters, "Am I getting in the tub or am I getting out of the tub?"
The 94 yr. old decided to go upstairs to see if she could help figure out the situation. She got to the 3rd step and stopped - then called out, "Was I going up the stairs or was I coming down the stairs?"
The 92 yr. old, sitting at the kitchen table, thought "boy, I hope I never get like those two old biddys, knock on wood", as she knocked on the kitchen table. Then she yelled out, hold on, I'll be right there as soon as I see who's at the door!

Amen to that - though it is at least worth mentioning that almost every Millennial Hipster I know has a turntable and vinyl records, and, they are all listening to our music!

Old guy flashback,
Back in the seventies there was a record store in a local mall in a unit that had previously been a bank. The classical section was in the vault.
They kept the humongous stainless steel door propped open. Always wondered if they had the locks and massive multiple deadbolts fused open, too. Never had the nerve to play with it to find out.

One thing neat about web forums: the complaints we make about young people are on "permanent" record. So in 2060, when millennials are old and complaining about the young Generation H (?), they can look back and see what the WW2 and Baby Boomer generations complained about them!
And I bet the complaints are the same...

Heck, even "Pliny The Elder" (Rome, 23-79AD) complained about the younger generation! Yep... it will always be there.
Probably a necessary part of the human condition.

I will sometimes deliberately make cultural references to my nieces from when I was a kid, makes them wonder if I'm off my meds....
15yo one told me she'd gone to theater camp this summer and one exercise was to walk like a bird. I asked if they taught them to
walk like a penguin, then noted that of course that was easiest if she had a top hat, cane and long cigarette holder. Looked at me like I was nuts....

We survived party line phones, black and white TV on small screens, no helmets while biking, riding in back of pickup trucks, no seat belts, no cell phones or games, everyone knew where we were, unless we were where we weren't supposed to be, reckoned with later. Tell them any of this and they know we are nuts. Been called a dinosaur many a time.

And if you didn't survive, you're not here to tell about it.

Then there was an old man,who,on his 90th birthday,
while being interviewed by a reporter,asked him a few questions,
like "What do you attribute your long life to?",while another old guy
kept yelling & cussing in the background.He replied "Not smoking,drinking,or swearing".
The guy in the background kept it up,& after a while,they asked him who that was.
He replied "Oh,that's my Dad - he gets like that when he's been smoking & drinking".
