Tell Us About An Outdated Reference You've Made That A Younger Person Didn't Get

Listen, there is no fighting it, at some point you just start becoming the "older person" in social settings or in your family life.

Which means that sometimes, as the "older person," you will undoubtedly make references that younger people just don't get. This makes me want to know: What's a reference you've made that has completely gone over the head of a younger person, and it left you shocked (and maybe feeling old AF)?

Maybe you mentioned Destiny's Child and your younger cousin told you they had NO idea Beyoncé was in a group and always thought she was a solo artist.

Perhaps you showed your kid your old iPod and they asked if it was a cassette player.

Or, maybe you had to explain to someone that the "M" in MTV stood for Music and that they used to play music videos.

Or, perhaps you were talking to a young person about The Goonies being one of your favorite movies growing up, and they just stared back at you blankly before telling you they had never heard of it.
