This relevant XKCD is a teenager now
Comment on 1955 was as old in 1990 as 1990 is in 2025.

Other ways to feel old:
- Smells Like Teen Spirit came out in 1991, just 22 years after the moon landing. As of now, it’s been 34 years since its release.
- Back to the Future came out in 1985, which is 40 years ago, and only 30 years from 1955.
- The Matrix is a 1999 film. It was old enough to drink… five years ago.
- Alex Warren, who is currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hadn’t yet reached one year old on 9/11.
- The video game Doom came out in 1993. Pac-Man came out in 1980. 13 years between the games. But it’s been 32 years since Doom.
Should I go on?

On average the entire human population turns over every 120 years.
Everyone alive today wasn’t here 120 years ago
Everyone alive today won’t be alive in 120 years
The modern human species is about 60,000 years old … we’ve only been technologically modern in the past 150 years, geologically speaking, we’re still cavemen.

Hope it helps.

You’re wrong. It’s an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.

You’re correct. The 90s has always been and will always be ten years ago.
