For some reason, when people want not to grow old, they start to favor rap, marijuana and get a tattoo. Most guys of forty years old and more, who want to be in a trend, not very tightly realize that the style of music, the style of their pants and the change of social network have nothing to do with aging of the soul.
Not at all.

To be young means to be able to accept something fundamentally new. And if the video by Kendrick Lamar is something fundamentally new for a person, then in his heart he has long been an old fart.


How do you do,fellow kids?

Truly new things relate to morality. Musical genres and clothing styles are replacing each other, but morality is moving in approximately the same direction: towards greater freedom, honesty and openness. And it is precisely at this moment that the majority of cunning people who decide to deceive their midlife crisis are at an impasse.

They can dye their hair in any color of the spectrum, but it is difficult for them to accept that gender is a spectrum.
It is important that a person first looks at this new unknown thing, and then he looks at his life experience. And he thinks: "No, my past tells me it's some kind of shit."

And just then he becomes an old fart. When he prefers the well-known past to the unknown future.

He will do reposts of cool memes for some time, but he is no longer part of the brave new world. He is just an observer on a bench in the park. Party will be with completely other people.
