I'm not hip but I am much younger than much of HN (heck my sibling is in their mid 20s), but even I'm getting old and increasingly out of touch. And that's wha

I'm not hip but I am much younger than much of HN (heck my sibling is in their mid 20s), but even I'm getting old and increasingly out of touch. And that's what happens - tastes change and mindsets change. People who were born in 1993-97 are already planning to or are already married, and planning to have their first child (the median age for a woman having their first child in America is around 27-28 [0]), and have a different set of tastes and views than someone who was at a similar stage in their life in late 2000s or early 2010s. Based on the references I see on HN, a large portion of commenters seems to be in their 40s to 50s, with some younger straddlers in their late 20s or early 30s.
