It can't be that old surely!

I was genuinely gobsmacked yesterday to see someone post a thing on facebook about Shawshank Redemtoion being 20 years old

20 bloody years!!!

There are things more recent than that which I'd have sworn came first.

What things still feel quite new to you, but really really aren't?

Me.

The lottery, the DLR, the disappearance of British Rail.

[????]

the internet

fook...even mobile phones

All seating at Football

...and, to be honest, email, the internet, everyone having a mobile and text messages. Maybe anything that happens after your early twenties stays new because you have adult memories of what life was like before them?

(ETA: crossed with above but I'm leaving it in a spirit of solidarity.)

From the same era - Pulp Fiction. Pierce Brosnan becoming Bond. Richey Edwards going missing. Tim Henman. Playstation.

Any number of bands/albums (I'm stuck in the 90s musically).

[Robert Poste's Child]

Britpop!

[????]

House music

I think you point on the early 20s probaly 'nails it' RPC....The X-Factor(see what I did there)

The wireless.

Oh Gawd, not another lost youth thread, still, when in Rome...this year's 25th anniversary of the release of the Stone Roses debut album was a killer for me...25(that's twenty five) fooking years!!...

[adonirum]

DVD's

Not meant as a lost youth thread RD.

Someone said Britpop, but for me that does feel like ages ago. In my OP when I said "There are things more recent than that which I'd have sworn came first." I was actually thinking of Oasis songs.

I still think of The Killers first album as quite recent, but that's over 10 years old now.

what! really didnt think it was that old. awesome film.

[Seabag]

Goretex and microwaves

I dunno, if you've seen a picture of Tim Robbins recently the it's vaguely amazing Shawshank wasn't about 100 years ago!!!

Good News for People Who Love Bad News is 10 years old. That scared me a bit.

[FJDGoose]

The Orb - 25 years since 'little fluffy clouds' , how is that possible?

[minder]

Shawshank only 20 years old? Suppose I've been busy bringing up children but this is my all time favourite film.

No mobiles or internet in 1994 as far as my world revolved (even now my phone is 8 years old) but I'm looking at how much the actors have aged over the past 20 years on Otta's Daily Mail link.

Liverpool winning a match will end up here at this rate.
