Have to agree with the OP about living in nostalgia. I think it's part of human nature. I'm 41 and have already been able to say "back in my day", yikes.

Regarding music, it's hard to keep up. There's so many bands and musicians now it seems. I prefer brutal metal. Listen to lots of metal from 80s/90s like Skid Rowz GnR, to death metal, alt rock, metalcore and it's really hard to get into newer styles of metal for me.

Some of the biggest new names in metal that I've heard are Shadow of Intent, Lorna Shore, Knocked Loose, etc and I cant get into any of it.

I had a 19 year old ask me out a few weeks ago. I told her I am three times your age.

The girls at the grocery checkout have been calling me 'sir' for 30 years.

I'll have what he's having.

45 and it's been a rough year so far. Mom has been in a nursing home for about a year and my father passed away almost 3 months ago.

I'm sorry for your loss and troubles.

It does get better.

Been a tough year for many of us mate; you're not alone, if that helps.

62 for me. . I remember when I started on these internet forums in the 1990's and I was 1 of the youngest. lol.. . and when we walked 3 miles thru 14" of snow to get to school and work,etc,etc. haha. Anyway, I still had a gig last night and got home at 2:30 this morning. I'm pretty useless today though

Sorry to hear that man and as mentioned, things always get better. As I've mentioned here on the forum, 2017 was my hell year and got thru it.

I've been to 8 funerals this year and prior to that had been to 6 in my entire life I think. I'm 52.

 

[LPMojoGL]

I'm 48, for a couple more months.
