  Wait a minute, I did some growing up in the 70s, I’m only 55!

  Take your current age, and subtract it from the current year… That’s the year you were born.

    Ok, but you missed the point.

    I’m in my 30’s, but I didn’t grow up in the '30s.

    My grandpa is 90, but he didn’t grow up in the '90s.

      No you missed the point.

      You are in your 30s, so you grew up in the 90s.

      Your grandfather is 90, so they grew up in the 30s.

      That is just how numbers work.

      I didn’t miss the point. I was just piling on with the other people poking fun at the fact that this is simple math.

      90’s kids have a long way to go if they want to experience what you’re describing.

  This feels like less of a shower thought, and more of a dozing off to sleep thought doing math in your head.

    From sidebar, emphasis mine:

    A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming.

  Counter point: not necessarily. Example: I was born in the late 80s. I really grew up in the 90s and 2000s.

    I don’t see that case in the post?

    Y’all taking these showerthoughts way too seriously. It’s just a dumb number coincidence that happens to really only work with a particular age group at the current point in time. In a few years it’ll be different, and it isn’t true for every single data point, but this isn’t a philosophical revelation community.

    The joke is I said 60s and 70s twice and it mostly works out.

    And yea, I’m not relating it to your birth year, but the formative years. My mother is in her mid 60s, born near the end of the '50s, but the childhood years she remembers fondly are all in the '60s.
