So what? You got preached to. "Bullied" seems to strong. Now it's time to shout your displeasure to the world of it's unfairness?
Every round of tech hype sounds about the same. Object Oriented programming. The network is the computer. SCRUM.
Mobile apps. SPA. Micro-services. Cloud. Serverless. They make it sound like the savior of all that ails you, but the reality is always more nuanced. It's like this in more than just tech.
There are interesting ideas in all of them, places they could be used and places they shouldn't. The reality never matches the hype train. The more experienced I get the more I generally want tried, true, and longevity to be attributes of the stack I pick. This seldom intersects with hype.
Unplug a bit from the online echo chambers preaching this stuff and you won't feel so "bullied".

At my work place, if you mention experiences with "old" technology you are looked down upon and spoken to in a condescending attitude. I'm talking about common sense things like gzip compression and etags for huge downloads. This "magic" is relevant even though they haven't heard about it before as someone fresh out of college. That spreads to other areas as well and you are not included in technical discussions that are not frontend related. I guess the rationale is that someone who is not up to date in React, are probably not up to date in databases or architecture either. So you get junior developers not really listening to advice from seniors because they are not in the right group...
