I asked my daughter who this is. She rolled her eyes big time. Apparently I’m officially old now. What’s your ‘fuck I’m old!’ moment?

  1. Well don’t leave us hanging – who is it? Us old gits need to know!

  2. Last time i saw my 15 year old niece she asked me “do you know what tik tok is?” In a slow voice as if she was talking to a 90 year old with bad hearing, i’m 28

  3. To be fair to your daughter, if she’s 14 now Harry Styles has been famous since she was born

  4. We were out walking the dogs a few months ago. Got chatting to a woman who lives down the road and is selling her house to move nearer her grandkids. She casually asks “Have you got grandchildren?” We answered politely that no, we don’t. Three nights later while we were in bed it hit me and involuntarily I exclaimed “That cheeky bitch!”

  8. Why is Harry Styles dressed like my grandma in the 70’s?

  9. Our 8 year old was watching YouTube earlier and said about a random guy “he was born in 1987, shouldn’t he be dead?”

    I’m born in 88 and my husband 86 haha

  11. I could probably name one One Direction song and none of his solo releases but even I know that’s Harry Styles.

  12. Watching bits of Glastonbury on TV this year felt like that bit from Family Guy with the made up acts. Although I did sort of kick back by asking is SZA was the sister or daughter of RZA and GZA, to which my 15 year old niece said “Who?” “Oh, haven’t you heard of the Wu Tang Clan?” 

  13. He delivers newspapers near me, think he’s called Gerry

  14. Imagine not knowing who madame Tussaud is. It e even says it on the poster.

  16. There’s someone who started where I work who was born the year I left school….

  17. Harry Styles has been around donkeys years!!

    I felt old when I saw a video of a little girl who was too young to even know who One Direction were. Mind you, she was being interviewed by Finn Wolfhard and it seemed to make him feel old too, and he’s only like 20 so I don’t know if that made me feel better or worse

  18. How dumb can you be? It’s Madame Tussaudes, it says right there on the banner

  19. My car is older than the last trainee we had at work. It’s a 2005 reg. That’s the year I left school.

  20. I knew I was old when I unthinkingly asked my son’s girlfriend if she needed a cardigan so she didn’t get cold.

    Mortified.

  21. Being 34, my kids think I had a black and white TV as a kid. They call the 1990s “the olden days.” 🤣

  22. Had a young lad (be about 15) asking if I “want to buy any weed?”

    (Me) – “I don’t smoke dope, sorry.”

    (Him) – “Nobody calls it dope anymore, Grandad” and walks off.

    I was genuinely livid inside. Grandad? I’m 35! you little shit.

  23. I did know who it was, I just didn’t know how fucking tall he was.

  24. Festival posters. It’s more of a gradual thing. Each year would pass and I would recognise less and less of the acts. Now I’m lucky if I get one or two.

  25. Well, whoever he is, he is a big fucker….nearly the same size as the London Eye dammit!

  26. It’s a man in my grandma’s crimpolene trousers.

  28. You’re from the UK and you don’t know who Harry Styles is?!?!? I’m Australian and I’m my late 50s and he’s everywhere

  29. OP, have you avoided all pop culture for the last 20 years? This man was in One Direction.

  30. Trying to explain what the Millennium Dome was & what it was used for…

    Fucking hell it was a bloody hard conversation! Total blankness and confusion.

  31. I found a photo of me when I was a teenager, the similarity in looks with my 14yo son was striking. So I show him, he says, “Wow! It’s in colour!”

  33. Harry is really pulling off the ‘My nan at a wedding circa 1998’ look

  34. My YOUNGER sister excitedly telling me my niece was expecting.

    I don’t have kids, so it took a few seconds to cotton on that if my YOUNGER sister is old enough to be a grandmother, then in theory (I don’t have children) …

    Also, every time I remember that my YOUNGER sister is a grandmother.

    Also, every time I remember that my GREAT-niece is about to start secondary school in September. Although both young mothers (sister was 19, niece was 20), they weren’t exceptionally young.

    I’ll be over here, I’m not crying, you’re crying.

  35. It appears to be a lad in his twenties who buys his clothes from the M&S women over 50 selection

  36. I was chatting to work colleagues about music.
    I just happened to mention a B side track that became more popular than the A side.
    My youngest technician asked “what’s a B side?”

    At that moment I turned to dust a gently blew away to the faint sound of Paranoid by black sabbath

  37. My daughter reminds me daily (12 to my 45) I’m old. I’ve been called dusty,bruh,she’s had to explain phrases she used.
    The other day she entertained herself for a little bit with an amusing joke about how she’s sure I didn’t study history in school seeing as I’m so old I must have lived through it all.
    We also spent about half hour debating the fact I’m not a “boomer” just because I was struggling to send an email on a new laptop…. and yes,I was called a boomer with an eye roll and a look of disgust that I wasn’t in bed by 8pm as befits my elderly status.

    I’m sure shes googling care homes behind my back.

  38. I’m always baffled when people claim they don’t know who global megastars are. I’m nearly forty, not a Harry Styles fan but I know who he is. He’s unbelievably famous.

  39. As I was walking out of work one afternoon I passed the cigarette shelter and got hit by a cloud of vape smoke, I proceeded with a “I felt like I was in Stars in their eyes then!” to which the gathering of youngsters just looked in confusion.

    That was an I feel old day.

  40. Knowing how bad the lookalikes are at Madame Tussauds that is Benedict Cumberbatch.

  41. It’s clearly someone who forgot his PE kit, and had to use the lost property bin.

  42. That’s not being old. That’s you’ve lived under a rock
