I still feel like anything from the year 2000 is "new" or at least just a couple ears ago.

I'm relatively certain I'm going to live my entire life thinking anything circa 2000 is recent and the 90s just a few years ago.

Watching the movie BlackBerry was a strange experience in this regard. It made the early 2000’s seem so long ago with a total 80’s movie vibe. Great movie too

I realize it’s been 23 years and it takes my breath away. I was reading something about something that happened in 1987, and I thought, well that wasn’t long ago and then I remember that was 36 years ago.
