I fully expect what the first reply to this might be.

    I feel like this is a you thing. I bet if you started doing it around people others would start doing it without realizing.

      That might be true, or something local. I posted that this morning then got too busy to check in. I probably should have made it less about “positive/negative” and more about “it’s cool vs not cool” Here is my way too late OP explanation:

      I go to a lot of sports events, hockey mostly. Since the 90s my friends and I play a little game. Count the people who give a #1 finger on the jumbotron vs point at their jersey vs thumbs up. Collectively, we have decided that ”kids today” don’t use thumbs up as much as in the past. I also noticed “Let’s go!” Is the cheer these days.

      Sorry for oversimplifying my shower thought.
