For me, it's TikTok
After Vine (which I loved), I knew it was just a matter of time before I went totally Grandpa Cramulus because of a teen software fad. I have a ton of friends who are super into TikTok and I can't wrap my liverspotted head around it.
From what I can tell, TikTok is a video platform which consists of people lipsyncing some random dialog from a TV show. And while you do that, you have to make EXTREME EXPRESSIONS. Like take whatever normal expression you'd be making and turn it up to 50. Sorta like silent-movie acting.
Tik Tok and the dances. Snapchat. That my middle schoolers were born the year I graduated high school. ETA and explaining 9/11 to early to mid 20-somethings.

That thing where a muscle that never cramped before cramps for no reason hard enough to temporarily incapacitate you and then vanishes like nothing happened.
My knees hurt.

Forgetting where I parked my carriage.
All the fucks I have to give of my dreams becoming memory and loss

Pepperage Farms remembers.
Hell, remembering January 2020 makes me feel old.

I had the theme song from "All in the Family" stuck in my head all day, yesterday.
Ope, it's back again.

Strangely this sparked the "three's Company" theme song in my head...
