I don't think you'd like me very well then, lol. I would consider myself horribly dated, but I have had hairstyles and a few articles of clothing that are/were not currently the trend anymore at the time. I simply wear what I like and what is comfortable and have literally NEVER been concerned with whether or not it is in style. That sort of thing has just never been a priority to me. I'm 25 for what it's worth.
When it comes to my house on the other hand, I actually do prefer a very dated look and for an older house with most of the original cosmetic features still intact. I really cannot stand the current trends for homes, as I think they are extremely boring and do not make a home feel inviting or comfortable to me. Not to mention that as someone who does work in multiple houses, mostly new builds and remodels, there is a blatant difference in quality between what was considered "high quality" and "nice" 40+ years ago vs. today, and the older is usually much better made, from a time when things were built to last and quality mattered much more than the very disposable society of today. Maybe I sound like a cynical old fart, but I've seen how the older things hold up vs. the newer and have seen the very obvious difference in quality and craftsmanship/workmanship hands-on. But, I also simply prefer the "dated" '70s look (I know, the horror, many people hate it and it has given me a huge advantage on buying a very nice house for a great price), probably since I grew up with houses that were styled similarly and find that look to remind me of home. Plus, I like the more ornate details and fixtures, more colors than just beige, gray, and white, and nice natural REAL wood (not the crap particle board being used a lot these days, even in higher end homes).
It's definitely normal to not like the dated look, as many people don't, but I wouldn't go as far as to actively dislike someone over their choice in fashion/trends. Everyone has their own tastes and that's what makes the world interesting.
Is it normal that I hate old fashioned people
