As someone who has recently been through his late-forties, I can confirm that being in your late-forties is nothing like what your 25-year-old self imagines being in your late-forties is like. In fact it’s much closer to how you feel as a 25-year-old. You still engage with popular culture but, remembering your youthful attitudes to “old” age, you do so in a way that is often parodic or self-deprecating, because nobody wants to be Steve Buscemi with a skateboard over his shoulder.
