#elder millenials

[unregisteredcryptid]

Earlier I - a 30-year old - was scoffing at a young girl doing a tik tok dance in public. Then is hit me. A horrible, humbling memory of Megacon 2008. My friend and I joining a huge Carmel Dansen line in the lobby in front of hundreds of other people. I have no right to judge. WE have no right to judge.

“There’s certain agents that have a track record of just kinda killing bands,” the agent adds. “They fire the agents at a smaller agency, it goes to a bigger agency, and they just cram it down the throat of these promoters, and there’s a frenzy in the promoter game. Everyone wants a piece of it, and the tour deals get more and more aggressive. Then they price the tickets too high and they just don’t sell.”

I'm finally going back to see shows again. It is great, but I am able to spend more money and see artists in venues in seated venues. I'm living up to my elder millenial label.

Okay, as an elder millenial who is and has been HEAVILY involved in her aging parents' care-

They need workshops for this kind of thing.

When I was graduating high school in the early 00s, I had to attend multiple workshops on financing college (didn't understand a lick of it; didn't matter, still had to do it).

But now that my mother is a senior citizen, new information about services for which she's eligible trickle in every other week. She's not equipped to do this herself. My father wasn't equipped, and now he's gone. So I'm doing it.

But if it improves the rest of her life, I should do it, and there should be more public knowledge about it.
