I'm in my late 40s and already feel that curmudgeon voice in my head. Ignoring it is harder and harder every year. New Internet sucks because it's too commercialized. New software sucks because it's all cloud based rather than native. New cars suck because you can't wrench them. New music sucks because everything sounds the same. New movies suck because they are made for people with a 5s attention span. Everything else sucks because it's more expensive than I remember. It feels truer and truer every year.
My newest car is late 2000's and that's also around when I stopped subscribing to new stuff and adding new things to my home media library. I look at my parents who are kind of culturally stuck in the 60s-70s, and then see myself getting more and more stuck in 90s-00s. Happens to us all I guess.
