Saw that the Gorillaz Clint Eastwood song is 23 years old now and it was more fun when the “hey want to feel old” stuff was about things that didn’t involve me personally
To be fair, I’m pretty happy that the kids are less Mean Girls and more Booksmart now. I just have to be careful about who I say “get in loser, we’re going (something)” to
Omg recently, I made a Clueless joke during a ttrpg livestream that I thought everyone would get ("you're a virgin who can't drive") and my friend asked me if I was dunking on her bc she's Asian. I felt horrible and was like "omg no! It's from Clueless!!!" and no one had seen it...
I go with "Clint Eastwood is old enough to vote now" which is obviously nonsensical, but also uses a threshold so I don't have to consider the inevitable passage of years.

Just occurred to me that if "hey want to feel old?" were asked honestly and not rhetorically, we'd never know how many years ago any pop culture thing came out
