had a real "oh yeah I guess I am old" moment yesterday talking to a college-age friend of mine when "Never Gonna Give you Up" came on and I made a joke about how it was my favorite song and he was like "oh, is it really?"
and I realized there's some people for whom that song is like ... just a regular cheesy 80s song, not a whole dang meme, because they were like ... five years old when that happened?
@technomancy it turns out that the guy is also pretty much one of the few examples of royal road being used outside of japan! which i learned turns anything into an instant "oh! i like this!" for me
