i had no idea that even happened.

Here's one: Emma Watson is 33. Some pedophile created a famous/viral website back when Harry Potter was released called "Is Emma Watson 18 yet?". Emma Watson was 11 when Harry Potter was released.

I've heard of Jefferson Airplane. Never heard of the Starship variation.

I remember that... I'm 71 years young

I've never heard of Jefferson Airplane or Jefferson Starship. >_>

I wasn't alive then. The only old person in this topic is you TC lol

The Jefferson starship? As in the same band that was in the Star Wars Holiday special?

The barbarian invasion of Rome began 1650 years ago.

How 'bout it, TC? Feel old yet?

I only know about either from a speech from Homer Simpson. There's a joke about a hovercraft afterwards. That joke first aired like 30 years ago. That makes me feel old

GTA Vice City was set in 1986 and released in 2002. A 16 year gap. The time between GTAIV and today is also 16 years.

i can't believe it's already been 10 years since Avengers Endgame came out

The kids from the original Kidz Bop album release are now old enough to have children who are too old to record a Kidz Bop album.

Mario Sunshine is closer in time to the original Donkey Kong in the arcade than it is the present day.

Cleopatra lived closer to our time than when the first pyramids were built in Egypt.

Someone born on the same day the Xbox 360 came out in North America would be old enough to vote today.

Id wager for anyone who thinks they havent heard of Jefferson Airplane they most likely have heard the songs Somebody to Love or White Rabbit somewhere. Both are absolute classics.

And if you existed in the 80s you inevitably would have been exposed to Starship, after they dropped the Jefferson and went in a different direction and was a much different band, but anyway if you turned on a radio you were probably exposed to:

We Built This City
Sara
Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now.

I liked them best as Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick in her prime. That 1967 first release is great. Plus I always liked that she had said "All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire." In a 2007 interview, she repeated her belief that, "You can do jazz, classical, blues, opera, country until you're 150, but rap and rock and roll are really a way for young people to get that anger out", and, "It's silly to perform a song that has no relevance to the present or expresses feelings you no longer have."

And with only a couple appearances here and there since 1990 she basically retired at 51 and just keeps to herself and does art. I dig that.

Ultimately for me White Rabbit is a hauntingly beautiful song and Slick sounds amazing on many of the performances. She kills that song. Its a great song.

9/11 happened over 20 years ago.

Kurt Cobain has been dead for longer than he lived.

Ushers song yeah is already 20 years old

I never feel old.

I've always felt old. I'm just now getting to my correct mental age.

Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? was 23 years ago

1990 was LITERALLY half of a 68 year old person's life ago.

Wow they had starships 50 years ago?

Here's another related one:

"We Built This City" is a year away from having sucked for 40 years.

The 2600 is going to be 50 in three years.

imagin how I feel teaching one of my recitations when I'm like "we used to look up a text FAQ for walkthrus"

Babies born on the day the Iraq War started can now drink and smoke legally.

The release of Mario 64 was closer to the moon landing than it is to present day.

It's been 25 years since Ricky was Livin' La Vida Loca.

Seems to me the only purpose of a video guide would be to literally to start watching it before even booting the game for the first time and just watch it in 10s-1min chunks, copy what thar player did, pause, watch the next chunk, etc. and that's no way to play a game.

With text, you can just Ctrl+f the specific info you're looking for. Way better.

It's weird like rock music from the 70s is classic rock, growing up in the 90s it seemed so long ago ; a 20 year gap seemed like a long time. Here we are and 1990 was almost 25 years ago but doesn't seem like it, now nirvana is playing on the classic rock stations.

Classic Rock stations be all like

That was Led Zeppelin. Up next, Hoobastank.

PS2 is over 20 years old

Dubstep is about as old in 2024 as Hip-Hop was old when Dubstep was starting

Hip-Hop is about as old in 2024 as Depression era Swing music was to when Hip-Hop was starting

There are people alive who weren't born yet when this topic was created, feel old yet?

The '90s being 30+ years ago still really gets me.
