Both, but it's interesting.
I like hanging with the younger crowd partly because without them I'd grow stale and outdated. Hanging around with them means I find myself listening to the latest music, discussing and using the latest technology, keeping up with the latest trends, etc. I sometimes wonder how complacent I might become without them to push me to keep up with them.
My husband and I are in our fifties. We are good friends with a couple in their thirties. We LOVE being around their school age kids - it seems like just yesterday that our kids were their age. We occasionally attend their softball and other sports events. I never feel old around this family - in fact, being around them makes me feel young again. I don't see any significant difference in energy levels by the way.
I don't have younger friends but I have in the past had friends who made me feel younger, mostly younger guys. But for the most part, younger women are not friendly toward me and make me feel out of the loop when they brag about their shenanigans. I don't let it bother me though. I was much smarter at their age than they are.
Recently I have made some friends who are in their 40s. I am in my early 60s and look 70. While I enjoy my new younger friends sometimes they make me feel a 100 years old. They look so young and are in such great shape and see life so much different than me.

I am pushing 60 (and get mistaken for being late 40s) and mentor a group of 20- and 30-somethings.
I feel great around them! Their enthusiasm is contagious. There is no way I feel older around them.
