RANT: I totally get young people's attitudes towards older folks like myself, and I know it comes with the territory when trying to talk to them, some rejection and ridicule will happen (I always make it clear upfront how old I am, otherwise sometimes young people accidentally hit on me and then I have to deal with an embarrassing situation, young people have strong drives at that age after all).
BUT...some sites have so much ageism discrimination that I just give up.
I can go to Pinterest and other grandpa sites but they are mostly so closed minded politically, musically, and other ways that I can't stand it.
I guess I am caught betwixt generations.
I can have a great conversation with someone on tumblr about the Black Veil Brides or Lacuna Coil or the plot between the lines in Frozen, but then I mention Led Zeppelin and suddenly it's how old are you?
What, you mean a 21 year old can like Bach who has been dead over 200 years but a 59 year old liking EDM drum and bass like Soulero or Veela or other Monstercat jams is creepy?
Christ!
I am so fucking glad gnet knows me and accepts me.
