It’s less of a stereotype and more of a statistical eventuality. People typically develop their tastes for music, art and culture in their teens and 20s and will continue to like those things for the remainder of their lives. Why, old people today probably thought it would be a hoot that some day, senior citizens would be listening to Elvis and Frank Sinatra but hey, that’s where we are. In another decade, seniors will listen to The Beatles and the Monkeys, then Pink Floyd and the Eagles and before you know it, a generation of elderly folks will have Hip Hop and techno. We’ll still play video games with those plastic controllers on flat screens and everyone will taunt us for not using the wireless holo-empathy implants. There’s Grandma, refusing to get the cyberpad implanted cause she’s afraid the corporations will control her brain. Old people are so weird. They still talk with their analog mouths like cave men.

As a millennial, I am often baffled imagining the fact that my generation of internet surfers, furry porn artists, ravers, cosplayers etc will one day be in their 70s or something. Not to perpetuate the stereotype of the nostalgic old person, but can u imagine one going "Back in my day, I used to yiff in the morning, blast Krewella, and return home late in the evening to play Battlefield 4 on the xbox!"
