I can’t figure out what it means. Is it that they remember being young in 1998?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

No, it's that 1998 is so far before they were born that they blurred it with other "recognizably modern but fundamentally outdated" time periods.

A world where cell phones were not common, only 20% of homes had Internet, social media didn't exist yet and mass media in general was far more homogeneous is as different from now to a child of today as the 1940s.
