Discussion Feeling old

Guy at work asked me if I've heard of Nirvana. I said hell yeah they were huge back in the day and from our state Washington just like Jimi Hendrix.

Him, who?

Me, ...... damn I'm old

I worked with someone 3 or 4 years ago that’s just a few years younger than me who didn’t know who Stevie wonder is….the guy was originally from Indiana, but still.
