I have a pet-peeve with people who act like you cannot know about things from other time periods.

If you have any older relative, or like to explore history, or watch any movie other than your birth time then you are bound to know about a lot of things. The following genuration can also know about 90's things, because unless they live on an alien planet they will see it brought up all the time. Anyone can know about anything. Older people know about cavemen, the 20's, etc. That doe not mean every single one was born in it, or had to be to inow about it. 🙄

...though history has a strange way of glamorizing things. :D what i hear some claim in the time i grew up i'm all like "holy hell it was like that? man i better get me a time machine and relive the adventure!"

I can understand both sides of this, but mostly it comes to the question of how much of the nuance can be gleaned about a time period verses academic knowledge of it.

people are like computers, we are backwards compatible. the truth is older people dont get new things more often than younger people not understanding older things
