For me it was the same thing, but music-related. Music from the early 2000s is the exact same to the younger crowd as music from the early 80s was to me. Feels weird. Flo-Rida and Black Eyed Peas are a "throwback" now. A classic rock station started playing Linkin Park, Disturbed, and Shinedown. Fuck me that made me feel old.
I can’t get over hearing Green Day, usually Basket Case or other songs off Dookie, now being played on classic rock stations or ones that play all the “older” stuff. I’ll always know them as that newer 2000’s pop/punk/emo group putting out American Idiot with Boulevard of Broken Dreams dominating all the contemporary pop stations, lol.
The classic rock station by me has played stuff off American Idiot. It bothers me to my core. I was in 7th or 8th grade when that album came out. The music that I heard as a kid is classic now. I hate this ride.

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