Old fogies, indeed. It's amusing to hear the 30-somethings referring to folks in their 50s and 60s as fogies.

Suffering from "old fogey" syndrome has nothing to do with age. Even people in their early 20s can be old fogies.

"Old Fogey Syndrome" is characterized by a person believing that culture was at it's golden age during his formative years (usually ages 15 - 25).

You will often here old fogies say things like "when I was young musicians had talent. Music today is all crap". The word "musicians" can be replaced by "actors", "athletes", etc.

OK, so what if you think the best era was one that you didn't grow up in?
