I do believe that everything old was better, everything new stinks, and my feet hurt all the time.

Funny you should say that. Near the end of WSB's 1953 novel "Junkie", IIRC, the main protagonist complains that he doesn't understand the slang of the new generation anymore. For example their use of "that stinks!"
