I'm 32 btw, and I don't consider myself "old" like millennials often exaggerate....32 is still young, but time creeps along for all people and there is one thing that when I see it, it makes me have sort of an odd dread feeling.
People will post memes of like "this show is now X amount of years old...feel old yet?"
And that stuff never does. But the one thing that makes me go "that can't be right....that must be a glitch...it can't be that old" is those rare times I come across a Youtube video that was uploaded near the beginning, like a video from 2007 or something and the video will say "uploaded 15 years ago, or 16 years ago"
That one hits me in the gut every time. I remember in middle school Youtube being a new thing and it doesn't feel like the type of thing that is half my lifetime ago..It feels such a modern, part of this crap society that when I stumble across videos that were 16 years ago....I don't know...it gives me a similar feeling like when you watch a black mirror episode...there's something dystopian feeling about it.
I swore I was never going to be unknowing about current day lingo unlike my parents.
Like - I knew that the ship at the beginning of Star Wars was “The Rebel Blockade Runner” and all was good… until about 2010 when I was in a comic book shop and some 10 year old kid and his dad were discussing it and he said “Rebel Blockade Runner” and his kid said “No Daadddd… that’s a Corellian Corvette”
Stupid Millenials.
