I am a young looking old man. I'm at a weird age where young woman like me for no reason other than my age, and women my age are all divorcees with children.
Being "cool" isn't as much fun as it used to be. Being in a band is still fun but there is nothing new or exquisite about it.
My whole life I've never felt that I completely fit in. The world slowly changes but I'm always changing out of step with it. It used to drive me nuts. Now I embrace it. I guess I just don't care as much anymore. It's liberating.
Some people agree with me on how liberating it is. I used to think I felt liberated when I was younger in regard to not caring about trends or rebelling against social norms. The difference came when I realized that I don't even know what the trends are anymore. I don't know any of the new slang words. Why? It's not because I'm not aware of what's going on or that I am too old to regurgitate what comes from the scene, it's because I can't be arsed to sit there and process all the mindless drivel anymore. I just don't care.
I don't care about the way girls look at me anymore when I use the hip language and know the right people and carry the cool disposition. It's all a joke.
I'm happy with talking about life with my friends. I relish the conversations about nothing which are starting to seem more and more relevant everyday on a personal level.
Maybe it's just a phase.
All I know is that I'm getting older and I'm still able stay interested in improving myself and leading a better life and I progress further at this each day.
Tangents.

Mainstream culture (and I use term loosely) is all bread and circuses, designed to distract the sheeple slaves in a cargo cult counterfeit life.
The connection with those you care about is the only thing that really matters in the end. Sounds like you're on the right track to me. Keep on keeping on.
