There are plenty of people under 30 more of the "hacker" æsthetic, who independently adopt Linux and have a seething contempt for social media and streaming titans and data hoard and play Dwarf Fortress and roguelikes and what have you.

Some of them are even in the disaffected, alt-right or anti-SJW crowd[0] (but those are generally more like under 20, I think).

The ones who live on their phones and Macbooks and don't understand technology are normies, of which there are more since CS has become much more popularized and pop-culturally embraced, I think. There's plenty of those in their 50s and above, too, just less-so at FAANGs.
