Graduated from the Navy in '87.

Show some people in HS (or up to 25 years old or so) this thing and ask them to identify it:

How much do you want to bet that most of them will say "tape backup for computers?" Shit, I remember when a cassette tape was the only backup for my computer, lmao.

Had Cheap Trick Live at the Budakon on 8 trac.

Quote:
Elijah Wood is 30. He was 18 when he was cast in The Lord of the Rings.
That one struck me. Fellowship was released in 2001. No way that feels like an entire decade ago.

[MiniDoom]

2XL!!!! Listening to the sound files on that site, I don't remember him sounding quite so much like Gilbert Gottfried speaking ringlish.

[02ranger]

I was born in 86, that is all relevant and does seem to date me well. Damn.

QFT. I should not feel old at 25! lol

 

[Crono]

Bring back Surge. Now. I demand it.

I'm also 25. And yes, I feel old.

 

[bfdd]

born in 85, i do not feel old. even when i think about being a little kid and how "long ago" that was, i just think about how old the planet is and how long my DNA has been fighting, I'll be old in like a few thousand years.

 

[clamum]

I'll be 29 next month and yeah, almost all of that brings back memories of the 90s.

 

[dighn]

29 and feeling old. Hate it when people refer to any 90s movie as "Hey, remember that old movie?"

 

[grrl]

#39 I always wanted that screaming girl in Jurassic Park to get eaten by a dinosaur.

 

[Olikan]

"that was the best songs of 15 years ago"

[Imp]

#13: Spice Girls - Now this makes me feel old... Remember when people use to block the streets when they came to town.

Backstreet Boys... Shit. One of them is almost 40.

 

[Farang]

Family guy for 12 years hit home for me.. I remember when it premiered the Simpsons had been on for 12-odd years, and achieved legendary status

 

[shortylickens]

Umm, Family Guy has NOT been on for 12 years. It was started 12 years ago.

 

[nanette1985]

TV Guide? Entertainment Weekly? Seventeen? Gosh, people used to read magazines? Guess I am old.

 

[pontifex]

Umm, Family Guy has NOT been on for 12 years. It was started 12 years ago.

I was gonna say there is no way it's been on tv for 12 years.

Time is a funny thing, when you're younger it seems to pass slower but as you age it passes faster and faster. Life is short, and within our short lives, we are only at our peak for a fraction of that time. Make the most of it my friends

<--26 It feels like I just learned to drive and that was over 10 years ago already!

The Kurt Cobain thing seems to be the biggest dividing line when I talk to younger people. He was the voice of my generation, I graduated HS in 97. Nirvana's music, and the grunge music that came with it, kicked off the 90s and carried it through. People who are now old enough to drink were too young to really remember Nirvana and to them Kurt Cobain is "that dead guy".

Ouch.
