Gus Rosas, 32, from Los Angeles, was out dancing with his much younger friend when he got an unexpected lesson on generational trends. His friend told him, "You know what's giving away your age? You keep putting your hands up." This was news to Gus, who had thought the classic "hands in the air like you just don't care" move was still in style.
Gus took to TikTok to share his experience, and it quickly racked up over 2 million views, accompanied by the hashtag #toooldfortheclub. Most viewers couldn't help but poke fun at the divide between generations, referencing popular songs that specifically asked for listeners to raise their arms, such as Outkast's "Hey Ya" and Notorious B.I.G's "Hypnotise". One viewer asked the important question: "How do you point to the window then to the wall?"
Others, however, were offended by the criticism of the classic move, saying, "We had fun not caring what people saw!" It turns out millennials themselves are now poking fun at another seemingly automatic move that takes over their faces when a good song comes on--the "stank face". So if you were offended by the hands in the air comment, you might want to check yourself for stank face. Do you have a story to share? Email us to tell us more.
