View Full Version : This is too wierd.... Younger person interacting with older people.
A Canadian 03-31-05, 02:39 AM I will be 22 soon...
But I find I interact with the older type WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY....
....more than I do with people of my own age.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN?
I am totaly immmature....
Why do people from my own generation bug the hell out of me...
Any within a 3-4 year age differnce just pisses me off.... clearly they are all a product of media and socitety....
Why do they piss me off.... why do I find comfort in talking with the older folks, but not my own family, which, without question, are older....
A small expample.... when even I am at work the GIRLS listen to the so called TOP 50 radio station.....
I DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO THAT CRAP!!!!
GIVE ME OLD SCHOOL ROCK ANYDAY....
I listen to almost anything, but holy fuck... how can people stand to listen to this top 10/20/30/40/50 bull shit....
It is music popular but drunken fools who go to the """"POPULAR""" bars......
Loud loud music....
Unable to have a conversation with anyone....
Drunken retards getting into bar fights or dancing around like the drunken fools that they are...
What ever happened to the peacefull bars.... like on the TV show Cheers....
But nooooooooooooo, it is all about the hip hop, dance craze, which leads to sex sex sex.... Bar fights....
At the age of 22....I find myself unable to interact with anyone my age... yet everyday, people aged 18 to whatever, meet in bars and have a good time.... I never did enjoy myself... atleast from the "hip happing" bars around here...
I cannot say much for America, but as far as I know, I have not been too, or heard or a bar that does not play music.... unless it is a pool hall or sports bar with a junk box....
I could go on.... and I side tracked from my original question but all I can say is.....
WHAT IS THE DEAL???????????/
bob-bobby 03-31-05, 03:19 AM you are over matured as per your age ...
u find talking to elderly person more confortable as you can match their maturity level !!
this is a simple case of over maturity .
vslayer 03-31-05, 04:09 AM it is not to do with levels of maturity or even intelligence(although that is a very big factor). most important is that they share your views. your situation is much the same as mine.
you gotto understaND THAT ALL THIS YOUTH thang is commodified by media spin big corporate bucks.
look at MTV. it seems oh sooooo freeee dont it. bust its as contrived as a fukin corset--remember them?
There is MUCH money to be had from manipulating people, especially the yoof market. and many dont even know theys bein manipulated. doin their ears in at the loud music places where the ones that RUN them are making planty planty dosh
same with the Gay scene. you got all the clubs and pubs/bars continuously seducing all the young and not so young Queers into their shabby little establihments with the loud musics, booze...shhhhhh drugs, casual sex and so on. and are making a MINT
you should be glad you see thru the BS dude
and hey. i love really old music. have actually a VERY ecelectic taste. and some of the musics i like are from the 30s, 40s etc...you know Delta Blues...country blues stuff, that music has feeling that's been generally lost from all the wannabe fame bling parade of posers we now see in the slick promotional videos. tho some gems shine through the crap
on my radio lst night when i was chillin....i went though the stations, and it was like differnt noises same noise if you know what i mean. i ended up with classical FM which plays...you guessed it, classical music. ahhhhhhhhhh REAL music. it was a dimension aove all that other muzak....that coporatized shite
but of course it all depends on the mood yer in too
vslayer 03-31-05, 06:06 AM quite so, but if we make that judgement we will be jsut a bad as them, because we accept that it happens, by disdaining them we are advertisig them. and isnt it their conformity we hate?, if so we should not all conform to their exact opposite.
Perfect 03-31-05, 09:32 AM Well, I’m 19 and it’s doubtful I would find enjoyment from your company Canadian, you mature stud you.
I mean.. people who cant detect the comedy involved with the ‘hipster’ bars and clubs are soulless.
I’m not advocating the trends etc, I’m merely saying that if you’re stuck in your molds so desperately that you can’t identify with different convictions, you should stay home and have deep conversations with your uncle- who’s so mature.
Or maybe it’s because I have never truly recognized the social deviations, nor have I acted in a single division.
Everyone fucking loves me. I’m extremely cool.
Fraggle Rocker 04-01-05, 04:37 PM There are millions of people who don't fit the typical parameters of their demographic, whether it's age, gender, region, education, or any of them. Women who live for football. Urban people who like peace and quiet. Devoutly religious people who don't like to spend a lot of time talking about religion. I used to do needlepoint embroidery and I was once the president of a teddy bear collector's club. I'm also 61 and I'm going to see Maroon Five and Velvet Revolver next month.
Fortunately we live in an era when it's pretty easy to socialize outside of our own demographic. Don't sweat it, enjoy it!
But please stop calling people who are only ten or twenty years older than you "elderly!" What does that make me?
I've never been in a bar that was like "Cheers." Ever since the early 1970s, they've all had 500-watt juke boxes. Nowadays they have multiple TVs competing with the juke box.
Chairman_meow 04-10-05, 11:18 PM FACT: people who hate top 50's are no better than people who like top 50's.
You think you are mature, but you are not. Do you really think these people who hang out at "popular" bars are unable to talk to older people also? or is it just you is special because "old" people like you.
Old people are dumb, you should know that, and they crave attention, it's easy for you to talk to them and vice-versa, because they know how to converse because they've been doing it a long time. Your problem is you are unable to interact with people your own age. A serious developmental flaw. Grow up, and stop pretending you are grown up.
I find it amusing that A Canadian chatters about his maturity yet has the writing skills of a five year old with Down's syndrome.
Screw anything within fifteen years, but anyone who prefers the company of the elderly has serious social disabilities. I find most of my peers vapid, but the elderly are no less so, and certainly don't provide a pool of potential friends or sexual partners.

I concur,
but the Down's Syndrome comment was a bit harsh... on those with Down's Syndrome.
True, but it was my best comparison. Other than a retarded sea slug using a voice-to-text program.
The elderly and the youthful are in essence, in personality, the same. The moderately (middle age) elderly just care more about "smoothing over" all the kinks in their personalities that they don't want people to see, and both the quite elderly (hobbling age) and the youthful don't give a shit about hiding stuff.
That's my experience, anyhow.

You haven't met me yet, for I'm a seasoned citizen and could show you that not all of us are as you think. ;)
skwhirl 04-12-05, 10:30 AM In high school during summer break, I used to spend time riding public transportation, not to go anywhere, but to talk to all the elderly riders.
Even in college, I would hang around with the older students. The older the better :)
vslayer 04-14-05, 05:19 AM age does not matter, interest does.(full stop/end of story/done/over)
I'm the same way... I can hardly stand trying to converse with most people my own age. I mean I'm not an overly social person in general, but when I do enjoy conversations with people it's generally people a lot older than me (or a few specific friends about my age).
A Canadian,
You interact with people older than yourself because you have found yourself to be just like your peers. And you coudn't stand this. Then all your prejudices against the young kicked in, and your way of overcoming them is to change whom you socialize with -- as there, your prejudices against the young don't apply. But you apply your prejudices against (or here, better: for) the older.
Your problem remains.
Old people will talk to anyone.
cosmictraveler 04-16-05, 11:40 AM I'm old and I won't just talk to anyone unless they respect me first.
ecclesiastes 04-16-05, 12:40 PM why talk?when u can listen...lol
I'm 22, I got the same problem man, with girls.
One part of my brain is really attracted to girls 18-22.
The other part knows that MOST of the time girls this age are immature and foolish, and ignorant.
Either way the top 50 is shit. Using sex as a substitute for music.
