A Gothursday post in honor of John Popper narrowly surviving 2025.
Side rant, I just heard the term "geriatric millennial" used to describe people in my age bracket and I reject it. Elders amongst the millennials, yes, but we are the youngest looking and least mature 40-45 yr olds to ever exist.

Smurfy! (What other adjective goes with a blue traveler?)

Geriatric mellennial? Big Lolz. Millennials are the age group aging better than fine wine. Gen Z is already older looking then us. HOW?
To match that Neither Gen X OR Z can convert a PDF file. The knowledge dies with us.

The worst part of this is that the line doesn't get finished at the end.

Yeah, I saw that too ðŸ˜. Really solid lip sync for a challenging verse though
UserNamesArentEasy
Geriatric is is the slur/diss for us elder millennials. I really don't let it bother me because if it bothers us. Then they win.
thedarkcanuck
People do this lip sync shit because they know they can't act

I'm not like other teens, I'm in my 40s.

And the type is women that like to seek attention by playbacking other people's music on TikTok?

I was labelled an elder gen-x at one point. This happy horseshit is just further proof that these labels are meaningless and only exist for marketing purposes.
Refuse to be marketed and marketed to.

As a 40-45 y/o, I can attest to the maturity.

Thanks, i was wondering where from

This may have awaken something in me. Or, maybe she looks close enough to the big titty goth clown girls to trigger similar kinkiness?
Imgur and discord are the closest things to social media I use so this is the first I’m seeing it. Always glad for a repost.

My only response to hearing the term "geriatric millennial" is simply "Listen here you little shit...."

I didn't realize how close I am to being a millennial at the ripe age of 48.

I'm a 42 year old mechanical engineer with 18 years in the industry. I keep Nerf at my desk and shoot my coworkers when they deserve it (and they shoot me when I deserve it). I regularly ask for LEGO at Christmas and my birthday. I enjoy dressing over the top for Halloween. I cosplay at the local convention. I refuse to give up whimsy just because I'm getting "old."
NorrinxRadd
I'm tired of people telling me to "grow up" or "stop watching cartoons you're a grown man" well guess what dipshits I have a blast playing with my son, and watching cartoons. I shall never grow out of it!
TrumpRapesAndEatsChildren0002
I hit somewhere around the 50s and if anything, the whimsy is increasing.
FinancialRavioli
That is awesome! I'm happy for you.

Well, this appeals to multiple facets of...me. I'm gonna go on another Blues Traveler kick, aren't I?

I had no idea John Popper had another health scare this year. (Had to do a quick search) That's crazy he almost bled to death from carpal tunnel surgery. Damn. Such a talent. Saw 'em live in like '96. Actually met Jonn once when I was working at a hotel in the early 2000's.
pfunk81
I saw him three times. 1st time was awesome, 2nd was ok, 3rd was awful. 45 minute harmonica solos are uh, not my thing...
BrianFarr
I saw him a few years ago; he's still got it
Manse84
I've seen him live several times over the years, usually from back or side stage (long story). He and his crew are some of the nicest guys in the business, even offered to give my mom shrooms one time back in the early 2010s.
taez555
Ha!! That's awesome!!

Almost bled to death from carpal tunnel surgery! 😳 I just had that done on Tuesday. What the fuck did the surgeon do?!
ThrowingSchadenfreude
During surgeries for carpal tunnel, doctors noticed he had an atrial flutter. In a separate procedure (ablation) to fix the heart issue, the surgeon nicked his femoral artery.
NotasbigasmediumsizedJock
Ah that makes more sense.

If you are 45 you are a Gen X'r. Deal with it. If you are 40, you are a wannabe.
somebackup
this is the worst kind of cringe to exist.
pahapaavo
Not the worst but it's high up there, alright
Josh25AP
Rather be cringe and enjoy life than just not.
FookinPrawns
Can I not life?
somebackup
but this isn't for enjoyment, this is for exploitation
Josh25AP
y?
zerogenix
I am not a fan of the tiktok embellished movement shit
Necrothean
Ah yes. "Stage acting" is the phrase you were looking for. "Shakespearean" is also acceptable. "Tik Tok style" works due to current era, but is it truthful and honest to simplify this acting style that's as old as time down to "I hate teens"?
Welcome to becoming your parents. So when's the Repug voting record start?

Look up Word Chewing.
You can murder me afterwards. lol
GuaiLoh
That was the fucking worst.
FussyZeus
The TikTok ban was the only policy idea under Trump I was low-key excited for. Course he chickened the fuck out on that too.
michaeloberg
He didn't chicken, he just took a bit to find ways to grift it into making money for himself and friends, you know, like he always does
JustSomePersonThere
I was too. Until I realized it was motivated by a desire to reduce voter’s exposure to anti zionist posts. At the time, it was one of the few platforms where that content wasn’t being actively suppressed.

Thank you thank you thank you for giving a name to the thing I hate so I can actively avoid it.

It's actually Shakespearean style movements first repopularized in the modern era by John Lithgow. Lithgow was trained by a master thespian.
CoolSteve10
I think the idea here is rather to emulate Disney and CGI animation characters.
Navrodel
Which were themselves based on stage direction - the idea of "playing to the back" being motions that are big and exaggerated enough that even someone that can't make out your face could tell what emotion you're expressing.
There's a *little* exaggeration in animation with the squash/stretch (outside of over-the-top slapstick) but that's mostly to trick the eye to slightly overscan and see "the full movement" despite the low frame rate. Their references were from theater.
theshinobi23
Whatever their personal motivation/inspiration for it, the type of overdramatized/cartoonish movements they're making have been a popular thing since long before TikTok or even the internet. Jim Carrey is famous for using this style in movies like The Mask and Ace Ventura. Hell, for film stars, you could even attribute it to Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton (less facial expression, more bodily). Saying that you think their inspiration for it is from a newer source, doesn't make it a new trend.
barrocoyote
Nah it definitely started with people mimicking pixar/disney animation
zerogenix
and now its peopling mimicking other people on tiktok etc
FaeVikingPrincess
where do you think Disney got it from? They studied actual people performing
