That’s OK, a lot of us younger folks (shut up, 31 is young!) don’t know who they are either.
I just watched it and was surprised that one of Eliots classmates was played by Erika Eleniak. And that Henry Thomas is a year younger than me.
Last Spring I was at The Gap outlet and was pleased to find a ‘Beastie Boys License to Ill Tour’ t-shirt. The tag said it was part of their vintage/retro collection:(.
Also, there’s a prequel out next year.
I’ve just given up and accepted that I’m old, but am making up for it by introducing the young 'un to stuff popular long before I was born. She loves singing “Has Anybody Seen My Gal?”, which was in the hit parade* in about 1925, and “Choon Gum” from the 1950s. I figure this will make me seem less dated when I refer to 1970s pop culture.
*See? Old. Who says “hit parade” anymore?
I have some bad news for you.
A thing that makes me feel old? The Simpsons has been on the air for less than half of my life.
Walter Koenig, the youngest TOS cast member, just turned seventy-fucking-six. Chekhov is an old fart-just sit back and really let that one sink in.
George Takei is younger. Born 1937. Koenig was born in 1936.
Spanish DJs.
Now excuse me, I have to go see if I can rent Monsters Inc…
Cough Playboy cough. There comes a time when (a) you have no idea who the playmates are nowadays (b) they look like wax dolls and (c) you realise that they were born in the 1990s.
So whilst you were polishing the wax tadpole to one of Pamela Anderson early pictorials, all those years ago, this year’s playmates hadn’t even been conceived! With somebody else’s sperm, obviously.
That, and when you have a conversation with one of the new guys at work, and they’re only dimly aware that there was an Aphex Twin and a Squarepusher. Not because he doesn’t listen to a wide range of music, but because “Windowlicker” and “Come on my Selector” came out last century, and they don’t mean anything any more.
Also, Bjork is 46.
Via Facebook I’ve ‘met up with’ several people I used to know, I didn’t realise how long ago I knew them until one posted pics of her grandkids
Wait, your 5 year old daughter has a kid?!?! What do you mean she’s nearly 30???

If you were around the age of the students in The Breakfast Club when it came out, you are now around the age of the teacher who was supervising them.
A couple of years ago I was assigned an intern who was born after I graduated high school.
Luke you are old enough to be your father. Heck by now he is probably close to being old enough to be his grandfather.
The Rolling Stones, whose first big hit came out when I was a freshman in college, are now celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band.
I think I speak for everyone in this thread when I say,“Get off my lawn!” 
Khan Noonien Singh has already ruled a quarter of the Earth, been deposed, and shot into space. Over a decade ago.
We hired this young gal in the office, fresh out of high school. Me and the other guys thought she was hot stuff, but we were old married guys so we just admired from afar. Soon enough she was married, then the kids started coming. Fast forward - her oldest one just had a kid. So, young hottie is now a grandmother. And I remember her first day on the job like it was yesterday.
Where is my MR. FUSION??
A five year-old child who’d watched Barney and Friends in its first year is now old enough to run for Congress.
I always said that as long as I can accept new ideas and appreciate new experiences, I miht grow older, but never old. I can and do, so I have, but I’m not. Too bad about the others!
