"Feeling Old" 2016 Edition

[Arctic Blast]

I listened to a radio show today , an hour slot called the golden oldies . The playlist was from the 90's   :(  I was still in high school in the early to mid 90's ......it wasn't THAT long ago , was it  ??? ......sigh :-\  the DJ probably wasn't even alive when I was born  ;D

I can relate. The first time that I heard Nirvana on the local classic rock station, my world broke.

[UBoater]

I remember when I was younger getting on elevators and in department stores hearing 50's music and thinking man that's old...
Now I get on elevators and start singing along with the songs... uh oh.

The worst was sitting in the orthodontist chair while doing an extended root canal sedated. The Dr. was playing a 70's folk rock stream and I was zoning out - and I felt like I was in Junior High in my mind. Then when the drill started again I was back in the present real quick...

I graduated high school in 1992 😡

[Sir Slash]

By 1992 I had already voted for President 5 times. And none of them more than once per election. I already had illegitimate children graduating from High School in 1992.

Making you legitimately old.  :P


I had my first legal beer in the summer of 1981.

I left in 1994 , and I couldn't wait to get out into the adult world .....what an idiot ! 

I've got news for you, you are one of the youngsters here.   ;D

That does make me feel a tad bit better

I remember river Phoenix dying  :(  I watched a film with my daughter with him in it , she didn't even know who he was or that he was dead  ....ugh.

For today's college students, Kurt Cobain has always been dead

[Gusington]

I was pushing shopping carts through the Grand Union parking lot in Albany NY when I found out Kurt Kobain killed himself. I got so pissed...I knew he had problems but I thought he could get through them. Have not listened to my Nirvana albums since then. Thank God for Dave Grohl!

Most of this year's college grads were born in 1994.  That was the year of...

Nationally, folks watched O.J. Simpson lead police on a chase in his white Ford Bronco. They didn't watch Major League Baseball, because the season was cancelled due to a players' strike. The NHL had a shortened season because of a strike.
...Susan Smith drowned her two young children in Union County, SC. Shannon Faulkner fought to become the first female cadet at The Citadel, but dropped out.

South Carolina Gamecocks won their first bowl game, with a 33-7 win over West Virginia in the Carquest Bowl. Steve Taneyhill was quarterback and it was Brad Scott's first season as coach.
Hootie and the Blowfish released "Cracked Rear View," which made them nationally famous.
Friends debuted on TV

[Boggit]

I keep telling myself that age is a relative thing, and it's all about self perception. I've managed to convince myself too... ^-^ ;D

[Steelgrave]

Sigh....you kids today......I was born in the waning days of the Eisenhower administration. I remember Bobby Kennedy and MLK being assassinated, I watched Apollo 11 land on the moon via an old black and white TV rolled into my elementary school classroom. Telephones with push buttons instead of rotary dials were the greatest invention ever. I watched every single Muhammad Ali fight broadcast live and my first concert was Elvis the year before he died. I paid $400 for my first car, a 1958 Bel Air that I drove into the ground and I'd give anything to have it back. And I've put 50 cents worth of gas into my car to get home.

Bite me. I still feel young   8)

[Sir Slash]

1994? I was already getting forgetful in 1994. But I was still young enough that I could play President and the Intern.  ::)

[Gusington]

I was working at the Grand Union in a suburb of Albany as the bottle return guy, the salad bar guy, the cart guy and bagger. It was at that job where I first heard that Cobain killed himself. I was also a sophomore in college.
