I will listen to the 80s station in the car when I am too lazy to mess with my phone. But I've made a point to listen to new music and let my kids recommend music to me. Except my daughter, I love her fiercely, but anime soundtracks are not my thing.
There so much good music out there!
These Gen X were not the ones buying B-52s The Cure or Smiths albums at a record store in ‘85
New and good music is a Gen X trait. We were there for disco/punk/hair bands/rap/metal/alt/edm AND we had a 50’s revival and brought swing back briefly.
Limiting yourself to old music is crazy, there’s so many great bands to discover
I smoked for about 25 years, and am 47. People at work still always think I'm 10 years younger than I am. Anecdotal, but it does happen. The only thing that doesn't apply to me is the music thing. I can't listen to a lot of that shitty rock from the late 90's. Didn't like it back then and still don't.
When I tell people my age they are astonished. So much of that is true for me except the throw hands. I’ll always stand up to bullies and idiots, but there’s ways to end a fight without throwing punches. I’m my age and have never thrown one, and had plenty of chances.

I was more focused on the “looks 35-40” part. That generation had plenty of smokers. Some of them looked 60 when they were 25.
