Something similar has been hitting me recently. I'm 30. So I was born is the last millennium, but you know, not by a lot. Most of my life has been the 20XXs. But even though it's been 26 years of that, it just all feels so recent. Like it's hard for me to call anything that happened after 2000 "old" because... old was last century/millennium. "That can't be old, it happened just a few years ago!" Checks when it happened: 2012, 14 years ago...
Thinking about how we perceive the time we live through is weird. When you think about it, the lives of everyone alive today has been radically different than the vast majority of human history. There were times when things might not meaningfully change in your whole lifetime, maybe even several generations of people living the same way. Post-industrial revolution everything has happened so fast. Tech and culture changes so often that we conceptualize each decade in the 20th/21st century as being it's own thing. (Obviously that wasn't entirely the case, there's all sorts of bleed over, but I'm just talking about how we think about it.) We talk about almost any other time in our history in terms of centuries and some key historical turning points.
I have now written way too much for a comment on a shitpost. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
I’m 34 and pre2010 is kinda old to me. Even Raspi1 is old to me.
I’m not there yet, but I’m slowly shifting to view pre-covid as "stuff from back then". It’s a turning point for me that makes the 2010s different from the 20s
Yeah I get that. "Old" to me is maybe around the 80s. I grew up around a lot of 80s stuff.
The music i listen to (since I was little ) is usually 60s through 80s, because those are the records I had. Some 90s and select new indie artists now too.
An "old" car is a 1969 chevelle. A 1991 f 150 is not an old car. The Xbox 360 is new. Etc. I regularly drive a 30 year old car and notice nothing I want or need (also I hate new cars but separate issue)
A huge thing about this is the tech. We went through insane technical revolutions in a super short period of time. Kids now dont have that. GTA 5 is how old, 14 years?
Tech basically peaked in 2012. Nothing has really been improving or groundbreaking for the common person since then. I think thats why when I think of 2012, I think oh yeah bout 4 years ago huh.
I mean my 2010 macbook still works perfectly. My 2001 windows 98 laptop, not as much.
I guess for music it also depends on the genres. For me 90s is ancient, since it’s basically the beginnig. 2000s is old classics with a sound that isn’t really produced anymore
I'm confused at this comment, but recorded works have been around since the 1800s.
"Modern" techniques started in the early 70s for recording and multitracking.
I'm a little scared if you think 2000s is classic. Its also one of the worst sounding eras in music history because of digital brickwall limiting.
Random example of a 2005 song that could have come out yesterday and would sound right at home with its amount of limiting

2000s was the era of Mainstream Hardcore and Classic Hardstyle
These genres are to some degree based on flopped synthesizers from the 80s, like Roland TR 909 and Roland Alpha Juno. Which made it possible for normal people to play around with that hardware in their free time due to low prices
edit: in 2000s DAWs became more accessable, which changed the sound and gave more people the possibility to make music on their own on their home PC
Ahhh I see. you are speaking of the electronic bleep blorps! Yeah, I mean electronic one could argue started in the 70's as well but yes.
Also I'm not sure that hardware was ever that low priced. Good hardware has always been spendy. But anyone could still make that music today if they wanted to . The synths are still around. Propellerhead reason is still out there for free if you wanted.
Yeah, the tech thing makes sense. I used to get really excited by new pieces of tech. My first smart phone, a new game console, etc. Now? I couldn't even tell you off hand what model iPhone I have nor what the newest one is. When will I get a new one? Probably when my old one breaks.
I think on the gaming side of things, the turning point might be around the Switch. Basically the point where Nintendo stopped experimenting with weird new things for their consoles. They basically just joined MS and Sony in releasing a standard console that could play modern games with the exception of it still having the motion controls from the Wii. The other companies also abandoned trying to do gimmick stuff like motion controls.
