Signs you're getting old? (lemmy.ca)

My knee still doesn't feel right after that hiking trip two weeks ago.
I started listening to really old music.

Have I crossed the threshold?

I mostly listen to music from my parents' youth. Growing up I listened to the oldies station a whole lot (Oldies 98.1 used to be so good!). I'm Gen X, they're boomers. So classic rock is definitely in the mix, but also artists like Petula Clark, the Supremes, Tommy James and the Shondells, etc. There's a great station on SiriusXM called '60s Gold that I listen to pretty much every day.

And then when I need a change, I switch to New Wave / post-punk or Grunge.

Oh you mean music from the 1900s?

You are a menace and must be stopped.

So, you mean music composed before 1800? Bach and Mozart should be fine, whereas Beethoven is way too modern.

I'm late Gen X but I'm really enjoying Gen Z music. Some of it's so chill.

I start my day on 1960s English prog and ska, and end my day on 1970s Italian and Turkish prog and pop. I dunno what's out there
