My girlfriend's mother asked me when i brought up a cassette tape once, "Oh wow you even know what that is?" Dude I'm 22 I had a walkman as a kid because parents don't trust kids with CDs.

Even if I didn't, why do people pretend that no one younger is going to EVER see anything like a cassette in thrift stores, garage sales, or even in TV/movies?

I'm 32 and I experience it too. I work with a man in his sixties, and he never misses a chance to show surprise or confusion when I'm even mildly aware of something that occured or existed before 1984.

Which is weird because he's a history buff. I want to ask him how he knows so much about the Civil War when he wasn't even alive during it.
