I'm the guy that yells at people for riding their bikes on the sidewalk or for doing Hollywood rolls on right turns. I get up at 7 every day whether I set my alarm or not. I find myself muttering the phrase "fucking kids" under my breath at least once every other day.

No idea. I'm still trying to decide if all those new bands I hate are really that bad or if this is just what happens when you don't "get what the kids are into these days".
Today's bands have no talent, and unlike the early punk scene, they have no charisma. They merely have excellent agents and marketing divisions capable of convincing teenagers to spend the obscene sums of money that their over permissive parents attempt to purchase affections with.

The minute old men stopped trying to have sex with me is when I realized I had crossed over from boyhood into adulthood.

/cynical rant
If you truly believe that no one had excellent agents and marketing toward kids, and that all punk bands in the 1970s got by on the skin of their talented and charismatic teeth, then I've got some top-value swamp land and a Sex Pistols album I wanna sell you.
But aside from that, I am admittedly still pretty far from absolute adulthood, and thus I shall bow out of this thread gracefully.
Except to note that I also hate a lot of "music for the kids" that's out right now like Avenged Sevenfold and Hawthorne Heights and all that rot, but that's just because I'm crotchety and curmudgeonly about music ahead of my time.
GET OFF MY LAWN!! UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED TO LISTEN TO DISMEMBERMENT PLAN WITH ME!!!

Yeah that's some seriously depressing shit isn't it?
The other thing I've noticed: When I drool over a hot looking girl I now have to look at that infamous finger to see if theres a ring on it.
The biggest kicker for me was looking at a Playboy and realizing I was older than the centerfold model. That was a shattering moment.
