I often refer to things my friend did as a kid/young adult having occurred last century.
The thing is, I am still a young adult. I was only born in '04 and turned 22 a couple of months ago. Can't believe I'm lumped in with people who are nearly 50 years old. I have nothing in common with people who are old enough to remember some type of technology called floppy disks.
As a teenager, being shown a cassette tape for the first time was a history lesson. Even being shown a rotary phone felt like looking a piece of technology from the 1800s.
Edit: people born in the 1980s are literally old enough to be my parents.
That's just technology. Maybe think about boomers and then consider again whether you have 'nothing in common' with people < 47
Someone who's 46 is old enough to be my dad. Actually, my dad isn't much older than that.
You still know the movies. That's the point. No need to dick around, baby 🕺
Only because I was shown the movie on Netflix or something in like... 2020.
And therefore you've got way more in common with those 46 - 50 year old then you realize bud. You're a Gen Z just like the rest of us "oldies". Don't worry, you'll understand it when you get older :).
