What confuses me is there are more old people than there used to be. So in theory "older people stuff" should be thriving. But lots of hobbies / activities / associations are percieved as dying off as elderly members are not replaced. I wonder why.
- Pet_Ant 3y agoIt’s more generational than age specific. It’s not like you turn 70 and now have a burning desire to play croquet. I have no interest in cars but retired boomers can seem to talk about nothing else.
- fidotron 3y agoIt's almost like there's another dynamic where each generation is resistant to the pastimes of the previous one, as they make the participants feel old, so they feel the need to invent new ones. It would be interesting to compare Florida residents with those elsewhere on the east coast to see if they are actually preserving more of these things than we think.
