Ex gf was 19 (I'm 23). She called Green Day "classic rock." I said blasphemy.
ANightAtTheCocksbury
She's technically correct, which is the worst kind of correct. Most radio stations, etc. use the rule that a song = "classic" if it's >25y/o
ANightAtTheCocksbury
So some Green Day counts. Nirvana counts. Even early Foo Fighters counts.

Same for me as a 25-year-old. Supposedly people in their 90's feel that the "Middle" Of their life was around late 20's-35. Longer you've1/2

Alright, alright, here, take your upvote.

I wasn't allowed to watch Power Rangers as a kid. I'm 26 though. I'd sneak in episodes when I was ~10 and realized it was shit.
captainsphincter
I also wasn't allowed to and I'm 27. I don't feel like missed out on much
impostersquall
it first came out in 1993. If you were a child then, some parents may see it as being 'too violent' when youre younger...
DowntonArbys
lol but also I don't get that one. I'm 32 and I feel like I was probably about 7 years old when Power Rangers became a big thing.
LCPLunderground
I'm 35, and I was too old for Power Rangers.
MobileUserGundam
Yeah, that one plain didn't make sense.
BreadyStinellis
I'm 32 and feel like I was too old for power rangers. And Pokemon.

I was too old for Pokemon when I was 13 but not when I was 31. For about a month last summer, like everyone else in the world.

Maybe his friend IS a child
TheBreadlord
It said coworker not friend. Which generally refers to an adult or a teen.
AreThoseMyPants
The colleague is 9. They work at a sweatshop in Asia.
seattlebust
They meant it as the co worker was really young when the power rangers was on TV so his parents wouldn't let him watch the show.
Victim42
That'd say DIDN'T let him watch.
ydwyrd
But the guy talking would have been really young, too, he'd have been 8 when the show started.

Yeah, we all get that. But that's not funny.

My son is 10 and refers to everything earlier than 2000 "the 1900's". "In they 1900's.." has a lot more weight than "in the 90's."

#9 That 70s Show aired in 1998, and took place in 1973. If a similar show aired today, it'd start in 1992.
myotherusernameismyotherusername
1976* Every 2 seasons was a year. So it would be set in 1995.
flamingflamingo
Oh I thought it was 73.
aPokal
Wasn't there talk of a sequel?
flamingflamingo
That 80s Show ran for a season. It was terrible.
aPokal
Well fuck. I thought of the 70 show.
myotherusernameismyotherusername
It ended on new year's eve 1979, kinda hard to make a sequel in the 70s.
aPokal
Mash was longer than the war. Also i said sequel, not just new seasons.
mrgraywood
Friends started in 1994. Just rehash the start and end scenes to "that 90's show" and bob's your uncle.
thequeenishome
I think Freaks and Geeks summed up the teenaged 90s fairly well.
Fiadh
Except it was set in the early '80s.

I still have a pile of movies on VHS. They're basicly placeholders to remind me to get them on DVD. I really should move to Blu-ray...
fadecomic
The greatest thing about streaming and digital is that I got rid of all physical media except books. Those just aren't the same in digital.
keeniemccormick
We still have a lot of old VHS tapes at my parents' house. Don't know if they have a VHS player or not though
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
you might need to check if they even still work. VHS demagnetizes after 1-2 decades.

I have all of my movies as high definition video files on an external hard drive. Takes up the space of one DVD case, holds several hundred
cobragrunt
I have over 600 movies, shows, and compilation dvds/blu ray. I need to find a way to put the less awesome ones on a hard drive
AlkeneThiol
And then your external hard drive has an unexpected fatal fault. And you lose it all. Like that time I lost a TB of media. /cries
crunchyintheory
Backups
AlkeneThiol
The point of an external is to be a backup
Lucallia
Pretty sure the point of an external is for portability of data and if it's the only instance of your data you need to back it up.
crunchyintheory
If you're storing data exclusively on an external you should back it up
CenturianImgurian
We still have hundreds of them at my parents' house, and watch them as well. I enjoy the crappy graphics. It's nostalgic.
dmbelafan
Get yourself set up with Plex, it's totally free and works as your personal Netflix. I'm coming up on 1000 movies in mine.
TheBufferkiller
Coming from a family of hoarders (reason I'm a minimalist) there are still stacks of VHS with my parents and grandparents.
tinyfootprints
I had a huge collection of VHS. Most of them are unplayable now. The tapes just got old and all I can see is static. (Yes the player works)
ANightAtTheCocksbury
VHS only have a functional life of about 30 years. I know some people to collect them and I'm just... why? They'll be unwachable. No value.
tinyfootprints
In pre-digital times the choice was, keep VHS or don't keep video. Any VHS of value should be digitized these days.
gingerjess
Laserdisc.
TerritorialRotbart
I have the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS because that's the only way to watch them. I'll have to back them up soon.
ANightAtTheCocksbury
I know a couple people who are into collecting old/rare VHS. I don't have the heart to tell them that they'll be unwachable in 20 years.
Donation123
Slight related, those are slowly losing the data. If you have any homemade tapes like that get them digitized or lose forever.

Not sure if That 90s show would be fun and nostalgic. Or a tragic reminder of how good things once were
tarataqa
As someone who lived thru both 70s and 90s...Yes
flamingflamingo
It would be tacky and hard to look at. Nothing but teal and magenta windbreakers, super nintendo, and high top tennis shoes.
FrigginCornflakes
We could just watch season 1 of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and call it a day, then?
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
counter argument: friends is really fucking 90s, and it's pretty low on the cultural cringe.
ArdentSlacker
There is a lot more cringe in there than you remember.
flamingflamingo
counter counter argument: I just tried to rewatch friends recently and found I couldn't stand it because it was so lame and tacky.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
(2) BUT: for me, the cringe comes from the characters, not the lame 90s staff. unless you want to argue that the characters themeselves were
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
well yeah, they're a bunch of egotistical nerds, and the show's writers probably thought they were hella hip.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
(3) 90s, which gets a bit too philosophical to discuss on imgur.
Mohead12
The That 70's Show reference got me the most.

It's called "Friends".

JewsOnAlderon

DukeDarkwood
I just looked it up; AoC's effectively 18 (says it's 15 but still criminalizes 15-17), so I'd say that it's just that huge of a problem.
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
Essentially the law is just never enforced so there's something like 800,000 underage children in sexual slavery.
Buckbeak1486
Why say the legal age of consent is 15, but still punish people for it? Also, Japan doesn't have the lowest age of consent oddly enough.
DukeDarkwood
I didn't dig that deeply; all I know is they get you under some other law. Maybe it's just a near-in-age thing? Or maybe their lawmakers are

just weird.

its so teenagers can bang but a 30 year old can't bang under 18 year olds. It also so they 17 teen year old you hate dating your daughter +

They are called "child abuse victims" or "rape victims", not sex workers.
Dexxus
I'm not sure it's right to call them victims if it's something they pursue out of their own volition.
MundaneFinality
We're talking about minors, here. They cannot give proper informed consent. Statutory rape is a thing for a reason.
MundaneFinality
Those are not mutually exclusive. Yes, they are those things too, but they are working via sex. Therefore, sex workers.
chimchim666
it's important to distinguish between chosen work and coerced slavery
MundaneFinality
I agree. However, there are a lot of people who make the personal choice, but are under-age or similarly unable to make an informed decision
MundaneFinality
such people are victims of sexual abuse and statutory rape, but they are workers in the since that no one is 'forcing' them.

Fuck this made me sad. But you're right. There are probably sex workers born much later than that too. .__.
