It’s weird to think about it. I was born in '87 and grew up hearing ahout the distant '60s and '70s as though they were this mythical, out-of-reach time in which my relatives reminisced. They even came with those old, shitty polaroids that really sold the vibe. Now it’s 2026 and people talk like the late ‘80s were a lifetime ago. Then I realize that from young peoples’ perspective now, that time period is even further away than the '60s were back when I listened to my parents talk about them.
I think the late, great Bozo the Clown said it best when he said, “WWHHHAAWT DA FFFFFFUUUUUCK…”
The 80s were 30 years after the 50s. The 20s are 30 years after the 90s. So the 90s are as far gone today as the 50s were in the 80s.
1980 is closer to the end of WWII than it is to today.
Kurt Cobain has been dead for longer than he was ever alive. Or in other words, there are people born after Cobain’s death that are now older than he was when he died (current cut off date for that is if you were born in 1999). His 59th birthday is tomorrow.
