The other day, the very young receptionist at our office mentioned they were going bowling. "Take the skinheads bowling," I replied.
This response was greeted with a big fat nothing from the receptionist.
You don't know what I'm talking about, do you? I said. Oh, I feel so old. I'm like the guy in that song, "Hey Nineteen."
Again, nothing.
Right.
You don't know "Hey Nineteen." [Oh, the irony.]

This happens to me all the time. Most recent two examples: #1: "Taking Retards to the Zoo" (long story how it came up LOL)
#2: Playing 90s Trivial Pursuit - The question was basically asking for the lead singer of a seminal punk band that did a reunion tour in 1996. I said "John Lydon" and they said "No, Johnny Rotten" and I said he was the same person and they didn't believe me! To make it worse, one of them said, "What band is that anyway?" and I said "Sex Pistols" to which they could say nothing because NEITHER ONE had heard a song by them and barely recognized the name. They were a little peeved and claimed the game wasn't really 90s because a lot of hte things they asked about that happened in the 90s, you needed to know more about the 80s and 70s...I was just like "Yeah - History repeats!" :)
P.S. It helps that if you type Johnny Rotten into Wikipedia, it automatically takes you to John Lydon's page :)
