As a person who's only just hit 30, being friends with people my parents' age is about as alluring to me as being friends with 20-something college kids. I'm at the point in my life where it feels like people my age just disappear from all online spaces that aren't mommy vlogs, and my choice for friends are people much older and much younger than myself.

I have to ask: do you have friends offline?

Because if you have normal adult social interaction in person, like with jobs, hobbies, arts, etc., it's completely normal for a 30-year-old's social circle to include people from their 20s through their 60s. The idea that adults a decade or two apart in either direction can't interact normally through common interests is just bizarre in the real world.

Most of my real life friends are my own age. I work in software engineering, where teams skewer younger, but no younger than the graduate age. I also work remotely, so there aren't a lot of chances of befriending people at work, and I never liked clubbing, plus I feel like I'm getting too old for it anyway. There aren't a lot of opportunities for me to make friends in real life.

Lol, you're 30, you're old enough to be the parent of a theoretical 12-year-old in fandom, and yet you're still trying to convince yourself you're a "young" and you have nothing in common with people who are older.

You have more in common with a 45-year-old (not old enough to be your parent unless they were very underage) than you do with a teenager. Deal with it.

DA but wow big misread.

I never said I felt like I have anything in common with teenagers. I even said in my comment that I don't feel like I have much in common with adults 5 years younger than me. And considering that half of this thread is older fans talking about how annoying millenials are, and how we don't know how great all the 80s and 90s fandoms used to be, how our fandoms sucked and were not as relevant as the fandoms of old, and how we should all flock to fandoms about middle-aged people, I don't get the impression that you really find people my age very relatable either, so why do you take such offense to me not finding you relatable? I want to have friends who grew up waiting for letter from Hogwarts like me, not people who have children of the same age as my younger siblings. I don't mind becoming friends with those people in the same way i don't mind becoming friends with teenagers and college adults, but I don't see why I should find people who took classes with my mom more as a friend-material for me than people, who take classes with my brother.

I also find it funny that you think I could've been a parent at 18, but you think my parents being 18 years older than me is a ludicrous idea.

NAYRT, but you don't understand how it works. I do have more in common with people 15 years younger than me than 15 years older because I've been their age already and still remember what it was like. I haven't been the age of people older than me yet.

But the teenagers the anon below talking about, who we can't be friends with because they decided we're decrepit old losers? That's you. Your casual use of "underage" points to you being an anti, too, so go away, this place is full of the nasty old people you hate.

Anon, don't you know people instantly turn middle aged the moment the clock strikes midnight on the last day of their 29th year of life? It's a phenomenon only women experience, I believe in incel circles it's called "the wall". What it means is that if you ever want to befriend (or god forbid feel sexually attracted to) someone 2 years younger than you, it makes you gross and predatory, but you should be grateful for all those men 15 years older than you who lower themselves to hit on an such an unfuckable wrinkly hag past her prime like you.

Secret OP here. I don't get what everyone else seems to be complaining about but I agree with you, that's exactly how I feel too. I feel like I can't relate much to either age group and would like to befriend the 30-somethings, or just know where they hang out. I am in a group chat for 30-somethings who like kpop and it's fun, but it's all I have.

I wish I liked kpop. I'm personally into disney animation and I'm the oldest person in every discord server I'm in, even in 18+ discords. It's getting tiring trying to correct people 5-10 years younger than me asking me what the 80s were like, and it's even more awkward when they start talking about how ancient they feel.
