When I talked with my boss after my birthday I told her "I'll be 30 next year. I'll start complaining about "Kids these days!..." soon enough".
Oh, and Facebook suggested the memory of my college graduation 7 years ago. Damn.

I'm 35, and my best friend's daughter, who I'd babysit when she was a baby, is due to give birth to her first child. I'm also reminded every time a football player who I saw make his debut as a teenager reaches the veteran stage of his career and retires. Yeah, sports is what does it for me, too - either when a guy whose whole career I've seen retires or when the kid of a player I used to watch makes his debut.

I remember watching the AFL Footy Show in the 90s and Carlton player Stephen Silvangi and his wife Jo brought their new born baby son Jack onto the show. That baby is now playing for Carlton in the senior side.

My youngest brother, who, clear as day, I still remember seeing for the first time in hospital after he was born will be 18 years old next year.
Also seeing how old John Cena looked when he returned on Smackdown last week didn't help things either. I still remember watching his debut when I was 10 years old.

on my Facebook feedback my younger relatives who are 15-18 are starting to reminisce about shows from when they where younger, all of these shows pretty much beginning when I was an adult.
One pretty much said "kids today won't know who Fred is"

Listening to an oldies station in the car, DJ said "And here's TOM PETTY with MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE." Song came out in 1993.. I feel like that song has been on oldies stations forever. It sounds older than it is. I hit 30 last October. Movie release dates are what get me. Toy Story's 20th anniversary edition two years ago. (1995 release). Next year will be Jurassic Park's 25th anniversary. Having conversations with people who aren't old enough to remember September 11th but are now old enough to drive.

I have this one little gray hair that pops up every now and then cause I pull it out. I'm only 22. I sympathise; I began going grey at 16, dyed my hair ocassionally until I was 23 but then decided to let it turn grey naturally. Just because you have grey hairs, though, it doesn't mean it'll be a clean sweep. I'm now 42, still have a fair bit of dark hair, but also some grey. However, it's a pretty decent 'salt and pepper' look going on, though, so it's not all bad.

I make the occasional jape about it but never anything serious. That's me. I'll sometimes jokingly go "I'm an old geezer" when I see things like CNN ads for their Nineties series, but I'm 32 and I still feel like a young man.

Happens to me almost daily. Part of it is my lady is 11 years younger than me,I just turned 43. And so most of her friends are her age. I am always mentioning stuff from my childhood that they have clue about. Like...
3 2 1 Contact CHiPS-None of them knew the recent movie was based on a old tv show. Sweet Pickles books

There is a bigger time gap between the release of Star Wars to now than there is between the release of Star Wars and the start of World War II. I don't know about anybody else, but for someone whose childhood was very Star Wars-centric, that makes me feel ancient.

I'll sometimes jokingly go "I'm an old geezer" when I see things like CNN ads for their Nineties series, but I'm 32 and I still feel like a young man. Similar for me. 33, but might as well be 23. Or 43. I can recognize time passing, but it doesn't really affect the way I feel about myself. The difference between two dates has very little emotional significance to me. Might help that I don't have a lot of childhood nostalgia about general pop culture. I was extremely limited on tv/movies/music I was allowed to consume, and our closest thing to a video game console was an old Atari system that took so long to hook up, it really wasn't worth the effort. So the majority of pop culture that I got to actually experience as it happened, happened after I was already an adult. The only real carry over I have from being a kid was pro wrestling, but even there, I took a hiatus from say, age 17 to 25, so of course anything I remembered happened "that long ago", because it was that long ago I was last watching
