Do kids these days think that the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald wasn’t real and it’s just a thing from pop culture like they do with 9/11?

If you’re commenting here, you’re older than the age I’m referring to
I don’t mean staged. I mean they think that it’s just something from pop culture that people reference without necessarily knowing what it’s from or about or having seen the original media, like “Play it again, Sam” or “That’s the beauty of it: it doesn’t do anything” or thinking that 420 and 69 are funny internet numbers with no real meaning.

If the majority of mentally ill elementary schoolers at the place my partner works know that 9/11 was real, I have a hard time believing the average kid thinks its just some weird cultural reference. And when it comes to the Edmund Fitzgerald, they just don’t know what that was. I didn’t know what it was till I saw the meme.

I don’t have handy a nonfictional record of kids thinking of it as a fictional part of pop culture, but that context is critical for the premise of this joke
