If you are over the age of 25, the concept of a "Birthday Month" (or even a "Birthday Week") needs to end. You get one day, one dinner or one party, and that’s it. Adults who expect people to clear their calendars for multiple "birthday-themed" events across a month are being immature.

A 2026 report on global streaming habits found that despite thousands of new shows being released last year, the average person spent one-third of their viewing time rewatching shows they have already seen (think Friends, The Office, or Grey's Anatomy).
