I feel attacked

  Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? 🤔 Never did pickleball, but that’s pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.

  Well I’m forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don’t hate listening to my own screams.

  So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that’s mine.

  Music 🎼🎵🎶

  More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️

  Bonus points for “getting back to”, as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life feels brighter.

  BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I’m a regular at munches and play parties.

  source

  • VitoRobles@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Wait, BDSM is a group event?

    I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.

    source

    • Rooty@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Think of it as more of a space where people can meet up and get freaky. 90 percent of the time is people standing around and chatting in fetish gear.

  I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/5k@1.5% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).

  I’m only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I’ve gotten into ham radio. I think it’s probably the most I’ve spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.

  source

  • VitoRobles@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You’re never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.

    Ham radios are awesome though and that’s less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.

  I’m not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. It’s a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. There’s even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)

  source

  • infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m a middle-aged cyclist (though I got into it around 20) who eschews lycra. I hate the look, the fit, and the feel. I bike in vans slip-on, running shorts, and t-shirts. At most I’ll wear chamois under the shorts. No clips for me either, flats with the peg screws forever. 90% road cyclist btw, very little mountain biking. Oh and no fitness tracker / GPS as of a few years ago. I just need as little friction as possible between being not on the bike and being on the bike. For me it translates to more fun and many more miles.

    source
  • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There are many different sorts of cycling though. Mountain biking and road cycling seem to be the two that can involve spending a lot of money on high end gear that is well suited to a mid life crisis.

    I just go on bike rides to the beach on my bike that only cost mid 3 figures.

  My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.

  I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.

    Stick with it, and soon you’ll have a rolling chassis with destroyed interior, body full of rust holes, a crippling Miller lite addiction, and lots of friends with similar rusty old beaters that just need a little TLC.

  Thrifting should be an option.

  I can tell I’m the target demo because the Goodwills all play music I like.

  I know it’s a thing, I see kindred souls with the same millennial dork vibes all of the time.

  source

  • Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    My local Goodwill sucks so I go to a thrift shop run by a church and listen to their horrible Christian rock.

    Man are those dudes horny for Jesus.

    source

    • andros_rex@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The closer the music is to this, the more likely you are to find something that goodwill would have auctioned off for $300+ going at like $5. Some Alpha MTG booster pack, a forgotten Nirvana cassette demo, all of these things lay buried in the bottom floor of some church basement. The place will only accept cash though.

    Biking fills a similar crisis role, as long as you paid $15K for the bike.

    source

    • uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I didn’t pay $15K but I got a new one. And then the gears were two low because it was a mountain bike and I had to install a custom touring drive train. (I’m having the same problem with my current e-bike, in that I run out of gears and e- at about 20mph.)
