injokes and references and slang that I don't understand not because of my age, but because I don't watch Streamer X or play Y game or have Z streaming service
Very accurate. I work in a very young office where most of the employees are in their early to mid 20s. We're generally all nerds to some degree, so we play a lot of the same games and see a lot of the same movies, but my biggest knowledge gap is around whatever is trending on TikTok and whatever happening is going on with some streamer or youtuber. But on the other hand, I watch some things targeted for their demo that they haven't seen.
Like most memes though, it's related to what content you've consumed. I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 yet, but most people at my work have. They joke about it and I'm just the dude standing in the corner at the party thinking "They don't know I optimized my science lab loop in Factorio."
