Do you know what this is called or felt like this?

Suppose someone was born in 2002 and is 23 years old. I feel that the people who were born in the early 2000s are the adults now over the kids and teens of today.

For example, one remembers 10-15 years ago when he was 8-13 years old when people who were older than him, like 18 or close to it or in their 20s, were adults in that time when he was a kid or preteen/teen coming up who was born in the mid-late 90s, so now they’re in their 30s or close to it now.

But nowadays, the babies born in the 2000s are the adults now in the new generation of young kids and teenagers of today who were the same age they were years ago, which always has me thinking at my age now and wondering where the time went. The babies who were born in the early to mid-2010s are growing up now when they weren’t even born or just being born back when I was in school back then.

What is this called exactly: a generation shift, maybe? And have others felt this way in relation to what I’m saying in my post?

It means that 2 years ago, you became old enough to buy beer. A change, but not "over". Just people born after you , shops Can't sell to them yet, like when you were the same age.

The time "went" as you spent each day at school or jobs or with family, day after day since you were 13 age. Your ACCOMPLISHMENTS in that time, were probably "good" test scores of 70%, considered good in picture, and hopefully passing classes to graduate high school.

But we in the 1980s didn't have things as easy! Good was called "b" for us but you youngsters get praise for c! And everybody now gets a trophy to feel good. In my day only those who earned a trophy got one.

I think you're right, it's a generation shift.
