More like middle age, which is nearly as bad(or good) as being older than that.

And don't talk about memory(I am joking, talk if you want)......I have bad memory as is due to brain issues(short term), and getting old will only likely make it worse. :|

DadJoke007: When you see nostalgia pieces written about movies, music or games and your immediate thought is 'hey, it's not that old'.

When that happens, you can bet your ass your ass is old.
When you realize that that happened to you the first time ten years ago :/
...when you start telling strangers about your pubes and don't question whether or not they want to hear about them.

The internet: He doesn't know.......
When the porn you remember from your youth is now labeled vintage or classics.
...When young girls ask you for pocket money, inspect, dig and stick around you, instead of hanging out with same age boys.
... When you refer past events giving the year instead of time frame.

For example:

"In 2000 when Baldur's Gate 2 came out..."
instead of
"20 years ago when Baldur's Gate 2 came out"
...when you need to pick up a few things at the store you don't worry about what you wear or how you look.
...there are more familiar names in the obituaries than in the the newly weds.

Your doubt (like your punctuation) is misplaced.
Weep, weep for humanity.
This old clip from early The Simpsons is very relevant to this thread. Anyone else who can relate to Homer? I'm basically like that when discussing anything new regarding movies, games and music.

What makes the clip even better is that the new bands mentioned there would go into the (digital) oldies box today as well,
