Are The 80's still "about 20 years ago" in your head?

It's weird, I was born in 1996 and am therefore in my mid-late 20s and yet my brain still thinks 'Oh 20 years ago, that was the 80s'.
Yeah this is how I feel. My brain never really left this point in time for some reason.
I run into this issue even though I was born well into the 90s because I watched so many damn old movies as a kid on DVD and VHS that 80s films were drilled into my head as 'roughly 20+ years ago' lol.
Reminds me my grandfather looked mortified when I told him 1973 was 50 years ago. I think all generations struggle eventually with this haha.

80s were 30 years ago.
90s were 20 years ago.
For me.
Born early 90 so I don't think I'm in THAT much denial.

The 90s were 10 years ago, so the math checks out.
'member when you didn't have to force the video resolution under Quality ā Advanced on every damn video?
Damn. 96 this time I was beginning my parents to get me Playstation for my birthday....or a Sega Saturn...
I got a Playstation 2 years later
God damn real player
And yeah the 80s are 20 years ago for me. I was born in the late 70s
Ok. I had forgotten about real player. I love the feeling that you get when you suddenly remember an old thing
When you get over 50 in just 22 years time, it will be closer to 2096 than 1996.
No, I've made it a point to keep time in perspective through various projects: Top 10 movies starting in 1980, a document listing events starting in 1986, a My Life in Music playlist, and keeping track of decade anniversaries for movies.
1984 is clearly 40 years ago.

I swear that there are people here who want us to feel old lol. I can't believe the 80s were 40 years ago.
Not remotely and I have a hard time relating to people that experience this kind of time distortion. It seems virtually ubiquitous that people think "Mario from 20 years ago" was the N64 when in reality it was the GameCube, and I just don't get why people can't adjust their timelines as time goes on.
Not upset or knocking people, I just can't relate.

Yes. As a big movie guy, I find it difficult to wrap my head around.
Like it'll be the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future next year... But I remember buying the 50th anniversary edition of North by Northwest on Blu-ray. Classic films I can get being "old". But 80s films onwards don't feel that old.
