You might think that someone today recommending a piece of media made in the 90s is the same as someone in the 90s recommending a piece of media made in the 60s, but here’s why it isn’t: i can still be young please let me still be young

I used to think about how Dazed & Confused was set in 1976 and came out in 1993 and the equivalent would be a movie set in 1993 when i graduated and coming out in 2010 and then i would dig a grave and lie down in it.
Or 55! And then do caregiving for your 81 yo folks w 2 hrs of sleep for half a year so you've aged 20 years since this damn photo at age 50 and I'm not changing it dammit! 😝
Go ahead and point out to me that the characters in The Big Chill were only 15 years out of college and the proper analogy now would be a movie about late millennials and the soundtrack would be music from 2008. I will simply refuse to believe a word of it
The reason it’s different is that the media from the 90s has been continuously available since it was created. 60s media had disappeared. If you hadn’t seen it during its original release or at a repertory theater screening, you had only read about it. Maybe.
It's when you laugh at someone talking about the 1970s as lost in the mists of time because you remember it well...and then realise it was over 50 years ago 😳.

when The Matrix came out
So uh thanks
as a wiser person, in my 30s, you're actually quite young in your 30s and it's being in your 40s that's old
I'm still young, just being the same age as old people doesn't make me not young 🙂
