Aging Into Obscurity

Incredibly EPIC news! you're becoming lame and everything you like will eventually be lame fashion music and art are highly cyclical plenty of grown adults don't remember 9 11 you're old enough to hear that Harry Potter sucks but you can still enjoy it let the kids have their fun now get off your phone and start dying

A mustachioed man in a burgundy shirt delivers an increasingly bleak monologue about aging, losing touch with pop culture, becoming conservative, and watching one’s interests become uncool. He ends the cheerful-looking video with the absurd command to get off your phone and start dying, creating a darkly sarcastic punchline. The clip works as a reaction to feeling old, out of touch, or overwhelmed by younger generations, with spoken delivery and musical backing amplifying the mock-inspirational tone.

We're aging into obscurity! You'll naturally lose touch with all pop culture. You're becoming lame, and everything you like will eventually be lame. Your whole existence is a fad. Things that used to be awesome sauce will now become cringe. Fashion, music, and art are highly cyclical. Yes, people born in the year 2000 are over 20 years old. It's obvious math. Plenty of grown adults don't remember 9-11. That's a good thing. You're old enough to hear that Harry Potter sucks, but you can still enjoy it. You'll start to become conservative in ways you can't fully realize yet. Cut old people some slack! Let the kids have their fun! Just embrace that you're older and enjoy this youth while it lasts. Your muscles will ache and your bones will grind themselves into dust. Obscurity comes for us all. I'll become irrelevant the second I stop generating hashtag content. Now get off your phone and start dying.
