I've noticed that during my time spent on Discord and Twitch. Boomers, GenXers, and perhaps many Millenials wax on about how some song indexes their emotions in one way or another ... or the skill demonstrated by someone like Jack White or Eric Clapton ... or the math exhibited by Tool or Bach ... but Kids These Days seem to reference old video games when talking about their emotional indexing.
