I was riding the bus to work, and this girl got on, she was probably somewhere between 18-20. She had spiky pink hair, many facial piercings, and a purse that was meant to look like military issue, with a GBH patch sewn to it. I had to almost physically restrain myself from telling her just how CUTE she was...I don't think that's what she was going for...
What else has made you feel like a relic? =0)

Do you suppose Milani is resorting to looks-based insults out of her own insecurity?

Going to concerts with my 22 yr old daughter....I stick out like a sore thumb & these days, I wear earplugs!! Even my leather biker jacket & torn jeans don't seem to help except when we saw The Buzzcocks, then I was more in my league!!!

I feel like a relic when...
-I see all of those 18-20 year olds looking awesome wearing a $5 polyester top and no make up.
- When I realized that I haven't bought no new music in years and that I don't know one single song on the radio. I've heard the same Cd's for well over 15 years. My 9 year old son makes fun of my "last century" music.
- I feel like a relic because I still hold on to my dear LP's and still don't own an iPod.
- I don't know how to txt message and do not onderstand all of those acronyms that people use now a days. I'm sticking with ASAP, FYI, and LOL.
- I remember seing black and white television, remember the first CD player and microwave. Used to have a three pound cellphone and still live without digital TV.
AGHHHHH, I guess I'm getting old.
Good luck

I think the first time one of the kids on this site called Nirvana an "old band" I cringed, and I have a couple of friends that call me grandpa, one of which is actually older than me.
I can't top Sylvia's answer though, that is so incredibly true. I even have to weigh it on the weekends because work has me in such a pattern that I get too tired even without something to wake up for. It's just pathetic.
I can totally relate to the "cute little punk kids" thing. It cracks me up.

When I saw pictures of the new in-style fashions and I thought "oh gawd that looks uncomfortable" and I realized, I am not expected to wear that!! That is for girls 30 years younger than me! Thank God!
Music I still like everything, new and old, and I want an Ipod someday, though I will be asking a child to give me lessons on how to use it.
And seeing a good-looking young man, and thinking how nice it would be to say "that's my son" instead of "that's my boyfriend."

When I see 13-14 year-old kids holding each other and being so in love.I have to admit,I played with dolls when I was 13-14 and didn't care much about boys =)) Actually,being 22 and single now,I feel more like a spinster when I see those kids.

Oh dear ... going to a show with some friends, and all of us looking more like 30-year old chaperones for the kids in the pit... LOL
I've retired the spiked belt, and the manic panic
but I still love the chuck taylors!

Ya'll know the commercial for the silver haired life insurance where they ask if you were born between this year and that year, well now my year is there. Also all the young boys I work with claim that I must be older than the dump truck that brought the dirt to earth....Hmm, maybe I should call that toll free number for silver hair life... ; )

Realizing that if I want to go see a local band, I have to go to the bar, and they won't start til 11/11:30, and I'd have to be there til closing time, and GET UP in the morning, and I'll only have gotten 4 hours sleep at best -- and the mere thought of it makes me want to take a nap.

I took my wife to see Poison and Cinderella last summer. No big deal, but when we got there, all the women that still had their hair teased to the moon were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big for their leather pants and were spilling out of their leather bras. There were more muffin tops there than at a bakery. It was scary. I knew then that I was too damned old to be there, because everyone else my age at the show was severly lacking in common sense and decency.

Hearing songs I grew up to like "Stairway to Heaven" done over in elevator music...I almost ran screaming from the building!
Or even worse: Seeing a commercial on TV saying Gordon Lightfoot is coming to a local venue and saying to myself "Hey, I'd like to see that concert." Now I can't get the song "Carefree Highway" out of my head...
