Someone on twitter said they've been hearing people talking about the late 1900s.

When I was a kid, I thought of classic music as anything from the 60's and 70's and fossil music as anything from the 50's. The 90's and 00's are as far removed from now as the year when I thought that about classic. And the 80's for fossil. The 1982 slasher movie Girls Nite Out prominently features a radio station playing "golden oldies", referring to songs from the mid to late 60s. A film set in the present day attempting to recreate this experience would be using songs from 2005-2009. what's funny is radio stations avoid stuff like that by playing the hits of the 80's 90's and TODAY! ... ignoring that "Today" apparently includes TWO OTHER DECADES

Aerosmith used to ask the audience, “You wanna hear the new shit or the old shit?” Tom Hamilton commented it should be “New shit, old shit and ancient shit”. That was sometime around the year 2000.

The gap between the original Star Wars film (1977) and the Phantom Menace (1999) was 22 years.
We are now 23 years after The Phantom Menace was released.

Sarah Alexander is in her 50s. (I crushed on her hard 20 years ago when Coupling was on)

People on Twitter are debating about Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin" being considered "old school."
Folks, there's more time between now and the release of "Big Pimpin" than the release of "Big Pimpin" and "Rappers Delight."

Pearl Jam has been a band longer than Kurt Cobain was alive. To add to that, Kurt Cobain died at 27 years old, that was 28 years ago! I even said it in the wrestling thread, but John Lennon was killed on the same night, in the same city as well(New York, New York), that Pedro Morales dethorned Ken Patera for the IC title. But what this has to do with this thread is that John Lennon was deceased longer than he was alive as he was 40 years old at the time of his death, it's going to be 42 years this December 8th. More time has passed between 1984 and now than when the book 1949 George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty Four was published. More time passed between now and Woodstock 94 than it did with the original Woodstock.

Clearly those people have never been busted out by Big Bank Hank’s super sperm. As an aside: Big Bank Hank is one of the greatest names in rap history.

In similar vain: Sting started being the Crow Sting in October 1996, and he's kept said gimmick for almost 26 years now. So the lifespan of Crow Sting almost matches the actual life span of Brandon Lee, who died 2 months after turning 28. Also: -We are now closer to the beginning of the 22nd century than we are to when the Third Reich ended. -The song "1985" by SR-71 and later covered by Bowling For Soup was basically a song about nostalgia and looking back to a time 2 decades ago. That song was released in 2004, almost 2 whole decades ago.

Superman is played by an adult several years older than me e.g. Christopher Reeve or Dean Cain.
I'm now a few years older than Tyler Hoechlin who is the current active live-action Superman in any filmed medium.

Another one of these threads. I am just going with my go-to response and say that I am an outlier in this type of topic as I have a perception of time and do the math when it comes to stuff related to time.

I've definitely reached 'old man' stage where I can only listen to music that was around when I was much younger, and can barely stand anything current.

If you were born on or before 9/11, you can legally buy alcohol(at least in the US).
Hip hop legends 2pac and Biggie Smalls have been dead longer than they've been alive(they were both 25 when they died).
The original Woodstock(August 1969) is closer to the end of World War 1(1914 to 1918) than it is today.

That's why whenever I talk about timeframes, I have to make note that I mean the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s.

The Beatles recorded and released their entire catalogue in 6 years only with Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be being done in a 2 year time span. Same with CCR. Their first 6 albums came out in like 2 years, which is INSANE by modern standards. Mark-Paul Gossellar is now older than Mr. Belding
