Does anyone else ever remember specific things from the past and realize that current adults weren't even born yet and makes you realize you're old?

Like, I remember getting a Nintendo 64 for Christmas 1996. I was ten years old, at the time. An adult nowadays would be -7 when this happened. Or, the time me and my female friend cut class and had a loud fight in the school hallway in the 11th grade. When this happened, a current 18 year old would've barely been born yet because it was 2003, back when we were making George Dubya jokes and watching Crank Yankers on Comedy Central. It just makes one think "DAMN, I'M F*CKING OLD!"

I don't even feel as ancient as thirty-four; honestly, my mental age is like 23 to 25. That's how old I feel like I really am, on the inside. The post-college, young adult. Thirty-four, though? That's like, "your first kid just graduated elementary school and you just paid off your mortgage" age. That's f*ckin' old as balls!

Anyone else feel this way? Like, memories from your childhood now pre-date current adults' births and you feel old knowing that?

Zoomers (born 1997 and younger), how do you feel?

Sheeeit.
Like when cars didn't have air conditioning.
Like remote control not being available on TV sets. Or our family getting their first color TV.
Like playing 45rmp records on a portable record player.
When FM radio first came out.
Transistor radios.
Movie cameras that used reels of film and didn't record sound.
Getting a 4 track and them an 8 track cassette player for my car when I was in high school.
Having to use a pay phone when you were away from home.
Instamatic cameras.
Getting a BetaMax and then a VHS player when they first came out.
Getting a big screen, rear projection TV.
Signing up for a pre-internet dating service when I was 38 years old.

LOL I'm older than dirt, dude.

I was born in 1996 and have started to get an idea of what that feels like over the last few years. I remember watching 9/11 on the news and stuff like that. My older family members can tell me what it was like to stare up at the moon, knowing there were people walking on it. When I was little my grandparents would tell me what it was like during WWII. That's life at the end of the day. I don't think 34 is old tbh, unless you're specifically comparing yourself to people younger than you. There are plenty of older people who would love to be 34 again, I'm sure.

As someone that was born in 1997 , I still find it weird that whenever I ID people at my job, people born in the 2000s is considered 21

[kyleelyn199723]

I know I’m not that much older, but damn I still feel like 2000 was only 10 years ago

[exitseven]

Yes, The World Trade Center attack was almost 20 years ago and I remember I was old enough to be working that day. There are 20 year olds that have no memory of this.

I'm one of the oldest people in my family now which is kind of funny and sad but almost everything seems that way as of late.

[DaveToo]

Born at 8 a. m. on July 7th, 1945. Damn right I'm old and have wartime PTSD. I tell those that try to hassle me, don't fuck with old Coasties. You might be swimmin' with the fishes.

[Miah02]

Naw. I don't ever have that problem
