It seems like in 2025 hobbies are pretty uncommon, unless you count working out or surfing the interweb as hobbies. Back in the 1960s pretty much everyone had at least one non athletic hobby.
Common hobbies in the 1960s:
Coin collecting
Stamp collecting
Baseball card collecting
Record collecting
Building models
Short wave or CB radio
scale Model Train and scale model car sets
I had an Uncle that listened to a police radio 24/7.

All these hobbies are lame asf and were only done because there were a lack of things to do. People still collect trading cards, build Legos collect their favorite artists records. All that other shit is for gramps

Yea, most of them were and are lame, and people engaged in them because there was nothing else to do.

Zero until I was 20. A total of 2 before I hit 30. I was fairly NT, mostly I was ugly with unrealistically high standards.

Nobody can afford to have hobbies now.

And nobody has time due to working two jobs and then slaving the rest of life away in the gym.
