    There’s a shit ton of good young comedians. Jerry is an old man telling kids to get off his lawn.

      Jerry is an old man telling kids to get off his lawn.

      i think i crossed the middle aged boundary because my head is filled with “those damn kids!” thoughts and i hoping that the fact that i’m still a stereotypical broke ass millennial that will never be able to afford his own lawn will help keep me young somehow.

        You should read up on juvenoia (sp?). Vsauce did a great video on the topic. Helps keep you grounded when you struggle with the thoughts of are the kids wrong or am I just out of touch. Spoiler, they are no more wrong than we ever were as kids, and yes we are out of touch with the youth. But it’s all ok as long as you accept that there can be things you don’t understand or that just aren’t meant for you.

          That’s a great way to look at it.
          Also remember, you’re the oldest guy you saw when you were the kids age.
