People change. Just because a Gen X is nerdy/chronically online now, doesn't mean they didn't party in the pre-internet era. I'm one of them that fits that mold.

I've probably withdrawn more from society specifically because I had the entertainment of being online, tons of knowledge to consume, a tool to build digital things, etc. I had none of that in most of the 90s, so I went to raves and keg parties every weekend and experimented with lots of drugs and even had sex.

Yes, and also society changes people. I think that's the point, and you allude to it:

The younger generations are suprised that we used to party all the time, because they never had a chance to live under the same circumstances.
