When I was younger I thought when I grew up I would listen to old-people music, like what my dad listens to. It was only a matter of time before I'm supposed to listen to The Eagles.

I'm grabbing oat milk with my Iron Maiden shirt at the grocery store like a good hipster and the teens are looking at me like I'm sort of mythical creature from the 90s ...

@jorge Heh, same thing goes for fashion (they aren't "mom jeans" anymore), which SNL comedians you prefer, shows/movies you quote, and anything else where tastes cement themselves in early adulthood and folks stop searching for new things.

Same phenomenon happens in tech. I can typically guess when someone first got into the industry because their technology choices tend to firm up and stop changing 5-10 years later (depending on when they transitioned to "senior level").
