He does sound unhappy, but come on, taunting him for it seems a bit unnecessarily cruel I think. I genuinely feel bad when I hear people excluding themselves from life’s pleasures because of age. I mean, sure, I’m old so I don’t have sex or consume music in the same way I used to. But I don’t have any plans to give up and stop listening, it’s one of the things that makes life worth living I feel. If anything, it means more to me now than it ever has. Hearing people willingly give these things up makes me pretty sad honestly. So I’m gonna listen to a song that vibes with my sadness right now :-)

I was crass because they insist that everyone over a certain age should give up like they have.
my intention wasn’t to torment them, but to provide a moment of self-reflection.
some care for the carrot, others prefer the stick.
