> I've seen Gen X-ers be notoriously inflexible about considering Discord or anything besides Facebook Groups, but as they say: nobody can prevent you from becoming like your parents

Yeah I'm a millenial with older and younger friends. I found that around 35 +- 4 years you generally have people get more annoyed and flippant at change. I get it, at this age you're probably at the peak of both career and life responsibilities, and you want to focus your energy on your family/career/other loved ones, and the last thing you want to do is learn something new for doing what you've been doing for the last 18 years (chatting about something online.)

But it's been pretty fascinating watching the change as my older millenial/young GenX friends are getting into Back In My Day conversations while my GenZ friends talk about new fashions and music.
