"No, It's The Children Who Are Wrong."
[rebelmouse-image 18353540 is_animated_gif=Every generation goes through it. You're the ones in charge. You're the ones calling the shots. You think the entire world revolves around you. Then, one day, you wake up and hear that some guy named Ninja just made over $100,000 in one day to stream a game called "Fortnite." That's when you realize: You don't know what the heck you're children are talking about. Reddit user, u/G_Bonfanti, wanted to know about those moments when they asked:
Parents of Reddit what was your " wow I'm really out of touch with kids" moment?
I'm Hip With The FacePage
[rebelmouse-image 18353541 is_animated_gif=Not me but when I told my wife that our 7 year old boys have discovered the Slenderman, she was like who's that.
My own moment was when I installed Snapchat and opened it up, couldn't figure out which way to swipe or what button to push for first 3 minutes. I'm a software developer.
What's A Doorbell?
[rebelmouse-image 18353547 is_animated_gif=My daughter had some friends come over and they sent her a snapchat from the front door to say they were there. And I said to my daughter "oh, is the doorbell not working?" My daughter just gave me this WTF dad look. And I still don't really feel like that was a weird question.
Though I also haven't asked again any of the other times that they've done it.
What Is Time To The Young?
[rebelmouse-image 18353549 is_animated_gif=Several of my employees not being able to read analog clocks..wtf
When Did They Add More?
[rebelmouse-image 18353550 is_animated_gif=Pokemon.
Pikachu, Charmander, Mew. They all make sense. But now there's eternal space dragons that exist outside of time. What the f-ck is that about.
When Your Music Becomes "Oldies"
[rebelmouse-image 18353551 is_animated_gif=I went to a music festival I used to go to as a teenager. I didn't know any of the new bands but everyone was excited like they were the biggest thing ever. I then overheard someone say the Foo Fighters (who were also playing and I was excited to see) was dad rock.
You Could Just Do It Yourself?
[rebelmouse-image 18353553 is_animated_gif=I've only been a parent 2.5 years.
The number of YouTube videos that are just people opening toys is outrageous.
But I WANT It Now
[rebelmouse-image 18353554 is_animated_gif=I wasn't a parent at the time, but a teacher. I was doing some after-school tutoring for 3-4 students of mine who just didn't give a s*** about their education. One of the students said, "Miss, if we get 35-39%, why can't you just round it up to 40%?" (40% is a pass in my country, and a grade D). I started to lecture him about how "I'm not going to just give you the D, Matthew, you have to earn the D. If you work hard for the D and you earn it, I will gladly give it to you. But if you're not putting in any effort, you're not just going to get the D handed to you on a silver platter." I noticed the appalled/confused/amused look on their faces and didn't understand why. I told this story to my fiancé and his sister (who was about 18 at the time). My fiancé didn't know why they had such a weird reaction either, but his sister just said "please tell me you didn't f***ing say that" and then explained.
Memes Are Out Of Touch
[rebelmouse-image 18353555 is_animated_gif=There was an ask reddit post on here a few days about how to tell people are over 30. One of the top posts there was about people using outdated memes like Success kid saying "We made it to Friday!". I had just used that the day before.
The next was about using ellipsis to often. I had used one replying to the previous post. So apparently I'm very obviously over 30 online.
No, Fortnite Is Just Terrible
[rebelmouse-image 18353556 is_animated_gif=I'm not a parent, but an aunt. I've been a gamer my whole life, but the first time I played fortnight with my 7yo nephew I realised how far behind I was. I started it for the first time and it wasn't instinctual - you know when you used to start a new game and just "get" the menus and how to start the game and all that. I had no f-cking clue with fortnight.
Nephew had to guide me through it. What is going on?
...So Long As It's Good.
[rebelmouse-image 18353557 is_animated_gif=This younger guy came into work one day. He's like early 20's. He was so excited to tell us about this hilarious old movie he watched then night before. "It's about these two rocker guys, Wayne and Garth. It's called WAYNE'S WORLD. Ever heard of this? I think it might be a cult classic or something."
Are We Going To Talk About The Class?
[rebelmouse-image 18353558 is_animated_gif=36 year old guy about to go back to college. At orientation they gave us a link to the class' Facebook group.
After about a week I asked to join. Nothing on there but girls posting pictures like they were models and everyone asking for everyone else's Snap and Insta.
Sometimes, You Just Gotta Dance
[rebelmouse-image 18353559 is_animated_gif=When musical.ly became a craze.... Whenever I'd turn a corner, I'd find either of my daughters (11 & 13) making awkward faces and gestures at their phones, to the squeely sounds of some popsong run thru a smurf-filter.
It was borderline creepy at times, cuz it basically made them look like drunk guys my age trying to soundlessly flirt thru a window.
It's Like Some Cliches Are False
[rebelmouse-image 18353560 is_animated_gif=My son's preschool is in the town high school and all I ever see are a bunch of regularly dressed, seemingly well adjusted kids. There aren't any chains, wild piercings, edgelord T shirts, etc.
I've never seen the usual characters one would find in a high school back in my day. There's no guy with a cape, fat gothic girl with a cheap corset, XXXTREME HIM "pentaheart" clad misunderstood miscreants and my f-cking god, nobody smokes.
Just girls wearing sweatshirts, leggings and headbands and guys with jeans/sweatpants, sports hoodies and Timberlands.
High Key AF
[rebelmouse-image 18353561 is_animated_gif=Was on a train with a friend out to her parents house. There were three young kids chatting it up, they must have been seniors in high school or freshmen in college. They were drunk and acting like floozies and one of them says "guys, I am low key drunk right now."
Dude, you aren't low key anything right now. You are shouting everything you say and nothing about what you are saying or doing is low key.
No, That's Their Name
[rebelmouse-image 18353562 is_animated_gif=Couple of months ago a tabloid headline was Selena chooses Bieber over The Weekend.
I took this as who she chose to spend her Fri, Sat, and Sun with. I broke down and read the thing and was really confused until I found a picture of a rapper named The Weekend.
I've never felt every day of over 30 as when I realized it was a person and not a series of days.
Seriously, Fortnite Is Trash
[rebelmouse-image 18353563 is_animated_gif=What's a Fortnite

Why You Little!
[rebelmouse-image 18353565 is_animated_gif=When I identified more with Homer than Bart

[rebelmouse-image 18353566 is_animated_gif=When they announced xxxtenacion died all over Facebook... and I'm just sitting here like who even is that???
Turning Tragedy Into Prospects Over...Who?
[rebelmouse-image 18353567 is_animated_gif=When Avicii passed away, I was at the hospital working and my daughter called me. She was crying real bad so I was worried and I asked her what happened. She was crying so bad, she couldn't talk but she managed to say "He died." Now, that got me all worried because I was thinking of my son when she said he. I asked who he was. Then she said that it was Avicii. I said "Avicii who?" "The singer Avicii dad!" She said. "I'm sorry honey, what is going to cheer you up?" I asked her.
"Well, if you can get me Fifa 18 for my PS4, I'd appreciate it." She said.
She hung up.
When Kids Learn From Your Mistakes
[rebelmouse-image 18353568 is_animated_gif=Seeing how cliques aren't as big of a deal and aren't as rigid as they were when I was in school.
My son is a multi sport athlete and competes on the math team. The overlap of athletes who are also on an academic team surprised me. There were 9 kids on the math team this year and 8 of them play sports. The majority of the honor society is made up of various athletes as well.
I'm in my 50s and this was not the case when I was a kid. The groups seem to be merging more. My kids thought The Breakfast Club was so unrealistic because they say the groups aren't that defined.
H/T: Reddit
One second. One moment. One decision.
They can change... everything.
Change happens with and without notice. Life happens instantly, so we have to learn to keep up.
These are all lessons we learn too late. We need more wisdom when we're younger.
We can make our lives better from the smallest decisions without knowing. But, let's start knowing.
Life will be the better for it.
Redditor ChrisVIII wanted to discuss the best ways to make living better, in the most simple of ways.
They asked:
"What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner?"
Pay attention in school.
Don't drink and drive.
Two very small and life altering decisions I wish I could've done better.
Walk Away
"Walking. After years of trying to run, I simply started walking. 5-7 miles a day in good weather. It is literally life changing in terms of mental and physical health." ~ Merlin560
GiphyAdopt...
"Adopted my block. (adoptoneblock.org) Instead of being sad about trash everywhere, I go out a couple times a week with a grabber and a bucket and just clean it up. Fresh air, a chance to connect with neighbors in a positive way, eyes on the street, neighborhood looks nicer and feels safer, zero downside."
"Adoptoneblock might only be in Oregon, but a picker is like 20 bucks for a good one (I recommend Arcmate brand; they're metal inside and last forever) and 5-gallon buckets are everywhere. Even if you only do the block around your house, it makes a huge difference. Imagine if every block got adopted." ~ binkkit
"helping people out"
"I stopped saying yes to things I didn't want to do." ~ VinnyRuns
"Holy sh*t me too! I used to do hair and eventually once I was working for myself I would say yes to literally everything all the time. Including 'helping people out' and stuff like that. I loved making people happy but I eventually got more and more miserable and ended up with a pretty heavy drug addiction."
"A bunch of years later and some really helpful therapy and I work a job that I actually love and no longer do hair for anyone other than my girlfriend or very close family. Only took 16 years of doing something I didn't really love to finally break and make the changes I needed to get what I want out of life." ~ arcaneresistance
Sail Away
"Taking a yearly vacation. My family never traveled growing up so I didn't know what I was missing out on but I have a good paying job with time off benefits and my wife and I have been taking a vacation every year since we got married, even if it's just something simple the time away from the usual day-to-day does wonders." ~ brshimp
Push No
"Turning off all push notifications except for essentials like financial apps or important contacts." ~ cyan_reynolds
GiphyI'm learning so much already.
And HOW do I turn off those notifications?
Swallow
"Swallowed my pride and got a blue collar job. For almost 20 years I followed my mother's advice, work inside so it's warm when it's cold outside and cool when it's warm outside. Now I deliver packages outside and the weather doesn't bother me. I have no boss on my shoulder and I can do my job however I want." ~ veldrinshade
Restful Nights
"CPAP machine. If you snore at all, you owe it to yourself to get a sleep study and see what is going on. It literally changed my life getting one. I went from constant caffeine throughout the day just to function to feeling rested for the first time in years. Especially if you are overweight like I am, your heart is stopping multiple times an hour as you struggle to breathe while snoring."
"It sucks getting used to the machine (especially if you have to wear the full face mask), but man that first night of actual deep sleep will be life changing. I cannot recommend it enough and I have convinced at least 5 people that I know to get one and they all say the same thing, should have done it years ago." ~ bonez59054
The Top View
"Quit my job and moved to the mountains. I realized I cared more about what I did with my free time than whatever work I did, so I got a job where my SO and I wanted to live. We live in a cute mountain town now and every day watching the sunrise at home gives me 1000% more happiness than anything ever in Illinois." ~ starciv14
Water and bedding are essentials to happy living.
Don't be afraid, you can always start doing better now.

Never miss another big, odd, funny or heartbreaking moment again.
Let me be real for a second.
Every time I listen to Bjork's "Unravel," my heart breaks a bit.
Have you ever listened to it?
It's on Homogenic, her third studio album, and it's incredible, passionate, smartly produced and a great showcase for her stupendous voice.
That song? An emotional rollercoaster, for sure.
There's tons of great music out there, though, and even more sad and gorgeous songs to discover.
People shared their thoughts after Redditor humanbear07 asked the online community:
"What song genuinely breaks your heart everytime you hear it?"
"Ann Wilson has such an amazing voice..."
"There's a few, but the isolated vocal track for Heart's 'Alone' is especially heartbreaking to me. Ann Wilson has such an amazing voice and her emotion really made that band."
FartAttack911
A classic!
Doesn't grow old.
There have been quite a few excellent covers of this one over the years, too.
"The first words give me chills..."
"Most songs by the late Jeff Buckley are sad on their own, and even more devastating in context. But the one that hits me the hardest is his cover of 'I Know It's Over' by the Smiths."
"The subject of the song is up for interpretation no matter what, but Jeff Buckley's premature death adds an element to it that seems to be about his life, whether he planned to or not."
"The first words give me chills the most— they happen after the classic reverby Jeff Buckley intro, the kind Hallelujah fans will be familiar with. He takes his time with this one, like he does with that."
Danielmav
No love for "Lilac Wine"?
C'mon, people.
It's clearly the best track.
"Ever since my husband..."
"'Merry Christmas, Darling' by the Carpenters. Ever since my husband Tom died in 2012, my heart breaks every Christmas since. We loved Christmas."
MysteriousTax5613
Karen Carpenter's voice hits differently when you realize how tortured her life was.
Gone too young.
"My Dad told me..."
"In My Life by The Beatles. My Dad told me when I was a teenager that he wanted it played at his funeral. I still can't listen, and when that day comes and I HAVE TO listen to it to honor his wish, I'm going to be a blubbering mess."
pennylane3339
Sounds like you have an excellent relationship with your dad.
Cherish it.
"My grandmother died..."
"He Stopped Loving Her Today, by George Jones. My grandmother died almost 20 years before my grandfather, and we played it at his funeral. Just typing this chokes me up a bit."
TimfromTampa
Songs have even more meaning (sometimes painfully so) when linked to specific moments in our lives, particularly the moments when we've lost people we care about.
"I'm not a Christian..."
"'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel. Not a Christian, but when I hear it, I understand why people believe."
holeontheground
A beautiful song, and timeless, too.
"My sister's husband..."
"Always on my Mind by Willie Nelson. My sisters husband chose to have it played at her funeral. And yes he was a crappy husband and she died young in a car accident."
kearlysue
Sounds like art imitating life, no?
"He's an amazing songwriter..."
"Jason Isbell has so many it's honestly hard to choose one. Speed Trap Town, Decoration Day, Cover Me Up. He's an amazing songwriter."
RoamingBison
I don't know him–it's time to look him up and see how I feel.
"I can already feel tears..."
"One More Light by Linkin Park. I can already feel tears coming to my eyes just by typing this."
azavaloka
Chester Bennington's death was such a shock.
His music lives on.
"My brothers passed away..."
"Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd."
"My brothers passed away in a car accident shortly after coming home from Afghanistan. Reminds me of them every time I hear it."
Nessahtron
Sorry for your loss.
Hopefully hearing the song brings you peace.
Hearing a beautiful song can be an immensely moving experience.
And hearing a sad song can, for many people, help them cope with the pain of heartbreak better than they would have otherwise.
Have some suggestions of your own? Feel free to tell us more in the comments below!

Never miss another big, odd, funny, or heartbreaking moment again.
Unfortunately, a friendship could really end at any point in life.
Friends grow apart, but also, sometimes, it's just necessary to say goodbye to your relationship with a friend.
Maybe they aren't the right type of friend for you anymore, or maybe something has happened in their lives to make them self-destructive and toxic.
The reasons are many, and they are all sad.
Redditor monarchmondays asked:
"People who have unfriended their childhood friend/best friend, what happened?"
Here were some of those answers.
Bad Looking Out
"I was more-so the one who was unfriended. Was going to be the best man in his wedding. Saw his fiance out with another dude. Like on this dude."
"Told him, he told me I was wrong, Yada Yada. Things got heated. I told him I couldn't be his best man. Some years down the road, he caught her cheating."
"Called me up, asked if I wanted to grab a beer. I went. He apologized. I accepted, but we're still not friends."-TheMotorcycleMan
Friends Don't Control Friends
"He was a pathological liar, manipulative and told all of my most trusted secrets to everyone because he wanted to feel powerful and like he controlled me."
"Haven't spoken a word in 5 years and I have never looked back."-TheDandy9
Sometimes Life Is The Only Thing In The Way
"As soon as I left my hometown and my best friend growing up stayed, we both changed in opposite directions. He assimilated to the local lifestyle, quickly became friends with people he never got along with in school."
"I left, made new friends, found new things I liked. He started a family, I started a career."
"The final straw though was he RSVP'd to our wedding and then just didn't show. No text, no call, no anything. I think he was pissed that I didn't make him my best man after I was his best man, even though it was exactly because he wasn't reliable and made everything about himself that I couldn't do it."
"He caused sh*t at other people's weddings and I just didn't want to deal with what I knew would be inevitable. It did highlight though that growing up I was his best friend as a matter of convenience where I genuinely liked hanging out with him."-porscheblack
It's never fun or happy to lose a friend, but sometimes it's necessary for your healing process.
We've Reached The Point Of No Return
"I haven't unfriended her YET but I'm basically at the point where I'm sick of her drama, pettiness and 'main character syndrome.'"
"Anything that doesn't go her way is taken personally and if you disagree with her (or even have a preference that differs from hers) she will berate you into submission and 'agreement.'"
"And heaven forbid you have a life that doesn't consider her wants and desires. We're both 30, almost 31. I'm too old for that sh*t."-Deezus1229
When The Punches Come, I Go
"I met my ex-best mate in school, he had a little narcissistic personality, but I understood that and ignored his faults."
"In late Teens, we started drinking and partying as most do; this is when it became apparent that he had alcohol problems, forever being violent looking for fights, killing my good vibes, and getting me pulled into unwanted situations where I saved him or stopped him from beating on someone for no good reason."
"Throughout our life, he never attempted to fight me. He remained a pretty good friend to me until our first trip overseas to Asia; during our trip, he tried to coward punch me in the back of the head because I asked him to put out his cigarette that he had just lit."
"I asked him because we were seated in a restaurant surrounded by families, for some reason that angered him, I got up to leave and luckily heard him coming and avoided his punch, but he then tried to attack me further, which ended with us both on the ground and me on top of him while he shouted and went crazy."
"Eventually, police arrived and pointed a gun at both of us; luckily, they didn't shoot. Having foreign police aiming at me because my friend wouldn't calm down was one of the most scary moments in my life and that's saying something because I don't come from a easy upbringing."
"He was drunk, of course, and claims he doesn't remember, but there's no excuse to try and coward punch anyone, especially your best mate."
"I packed my bags that night and left our joint holiday plans in the dirt, traveling solo and having a blast. When I got back from my trip, I quit drinking myself and have remained sober for the last five years."
"Throughout that five years, I've had brief encounters with him, but our friendship was never the same. Unfortunately, my old friend never changed as he aged; he eventually went to jail."
"I work in hospitals and have seen him show up to the emergency triage, bashed with broken bones, and just a few months ago, he randomly knocked at my door where my wife answered, he was covered in blood."
"My wife went and woke me up; he had a stab wound and refused to go to the hospital; I drove him home and haven't seen or spoken to him since.. His brother updated me and said he was fine, whatever that means."-King-Callous
When He's A Predator
"I, a 5th grader at the time, knew this chick who was in the 7th grade dating a junior in hs. The dude thought she was 16 because she was lying about her age."
"They had been f**king and sexting and all that jazz...he didn't know she was a minor. I went and told him, and they broke up, and he was pissed... yada, yada yada..."
"They became friends again after a few years. When I was in the 8th grade, she called just so he could flirt with me 🤮. I was 13 then, and he was probably around 20. I blocked her real quick."-Cancerous0713
The End Of An Era
"Inseparable all through jr and HS. We graduated in 85 so no social media but I still feel ghosted. He stopped returning my calls, I always had to initiate and when we did get together he wasn't that interested."
"I gave it a few tries but I got the message and just stopped contacting him and he never reach out to me after that. I never new why and it took almost 10 years for me to get over it and stop thinking about it every day."
"I kind of wish he would have just told me he doesn't like me anymore. I have a current best friend I met in college and we've been friends for 30+ years so it's all good."-DreamArcher
There is never a right time to say goodbye to someone you once considered a trusted friend.
Tragedy
"My best friends young son was killed in a four wheeler accident. I was the first responding paramedic. I had to take him from my friends arms to work on him. Knowing he was dead the all along."
"We flex the child on Lifeflight then I drove my best friend and his wife to the hospital. I knew all along he was dead but they didn't. It wasn't his fault or mine that he died in any way but I could never look my best friend in the eye again."
"All I could see was his pain. So we drifted apart. I finally got to tell him and his wife before my friend died with heart trouble."-hotandhornyinbama
Secret Mental Health Leeches
"She started being nasty to my husband when we got engaged. It was so gross. She was snarky and rude to him every time he spoke and made him feel unwelcome in our own home."
"I kind of fell out of friend love with her after watching her behave like that. My mom thinks it was jealousy or something, idk. My husband is the most fun and caring person I've ever known, I expected her to be happy for me."
"In retrospect, I realized there were a lot of other red flag issues I had been ignorant of. It's been 3 years now and I am so much mentally healthier without the drama she was churning up."-ThunderHeavyRains
When Mom Damaged Her
"Had a friend I met pre-kindergarten but had a falling out in middle school. Families knew each other and we were like sisters. But sadly, her mom was a true definition of a Tiger mom. Her mom always pushed my friend to be in all of these extracurricular activities, music lessons, tutoring, etc. Her mom was always dissatisfied; nothing was good enough."
"She wasn't the most nurturing parent. But my parents were the opposite. Especially my mom, she just wanted me to be a good person and do my best. But naturally I was a very good student."
"So my friend's mom would always compare my friend to me saying I was better than her because I was naturally gifted and didn't NEED all of that help. My friend began to resent me."
"Throughout puberty, she would call me a slut because I was physically developing, tried to imply I was ugly just to see my reaction, threatened to punch me, things I understood where they were coming from but did not think were justified as I had not done anything directly to her."
"Final straw was when she posted on Facebook that she thought I was ugly so I just cut her off completely. I pitied her for her family life but her bitterness toward me was wrong. Because through my eyes, she was my best friend and all she wanted to do was hurt me. Don't regret cutting it off"-dookieconductor
The sad truth is that people are not always meant to be close, and that some people are too mentally unhealthy to have any kind of closeness in their lives.
Until they grow up, there is not much we can do but sadly step aside and take care of ourselves.

Citizens Of The World Speculate How Their Country Would Behave At A Party
Certain personalities show up at almost every party like clockwork.
There's always that person who get's too drunk, someone awkwardly standing in the corner nursing a drink, the person who's not having a good time no matter what and the person babysitting the crowd they came with.
When there's alcohol—or any other substances—and the pressure of a social situation, all sorts of quirks will come out. We wanted to know what people thought their country would act like if they were a person attending a party.
Redditor amotyvukufyd asked:
"All the countries of the world are at a party. What is your country doing?"
Here are some of the best and most hilarious answers.

"As an American from the Midwest, we do a 'welp' knee slap. Then sit/stand for another 25 minutes before leaving."
- flyingtubesock
"Then talk in the porch. Then talk in the doorway. Then talk in the driveway. Then talk out the car window."
"'Well anyway.'"
"'Yuh, I guess.'"
"'See you around, I suppose.'"

"Buzz of the window rolling up."

"While listening to El Potro Rodrigo."
- thrashingkaiju
"For sure we're arguing with Texans over asado."

"I'm Greek so I guess a lot of sex, wine and questionable financial decisions that will ruin us the morning after."
- PKassotis
"At least you have your club of friends who will drive you home when you pass out. My country, Argentina, will spend the night borrowing money. When they finally kick him out, he'll have to walk home, broke and alone. And it will start to rain."
- holeontheground
Poland fighting with Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
"Poland. In the corner with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, drinking vodka and fighting each other. Poland fighting Belarus and Ukraine fighting Russia."

"Wouldn't they discuss politics too?"
- Pizzamampf12
"We so would! I was thinking about what we would do what wasn't absolutely cliché (like bringing the beer). I feel we would not only discuss politics but also rant about it. And other stuff. I feel ranting is really something we like to do. But also Germany would be drinking way too much and be completely fine the next morning..."

"I think the US would be like a really obnoxious frat dude that's also kinda fun. Like waaaay over the top bragging... but also did bring the weed. Then word gets around that he has a gun on him and it makes everyone uncomfortable, but he says it's just cause Russia and China are packing too."
