Ask HN: How to know when we are out of touch for ignoring the last tech trends?

I'm still really young, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm developing the mindset of an old man who just don't get new tech. I'm talking NFTs, Cryptos, Web3, Metaverse, Nocode, most social medias, actually most new hyped startups, all of that seems really uninteresting to me.(also not really related, but also stuff like fortnite or roblox, I've been gaming since I was 3yo and actually enjoy some childish games, but I just don't get the hype for those) I mean it's maybe not even a controversial opinion here, but let's take a step back for a second, how do we actually know when we finally got old and out of touch with "the future" of tech? The only 2 things that have really impressed and interested me in the last 5 years were GPT-3 and GANs. At which point does it stop being healthy skepticism and start being boomer-like foolishness?
