1955 was as old in 1990 as 1990 is in 2025.

In 2060s, people look back at the good old days of 2020s. Doomscrolling, AI generated images, brainrot, existential dread, LLMs, those were the days…

If Back to the Future we're remade today, he'd be going back in time to 1995.
I'd like to see a remake of Back to the Future just so we can have a scene where Doc Brown refuses to believe Donald Trump will be president.

I’d like to see a remake of The United States of America where Donald Trump is never the president.
-
Even better: Make the alternate timeline a utopia with doc Brown saying he hasn't had time to analyze the differences and leave it at that. Throughout the movie have framed portraits of Bernie Sanders ifrom 1995 n the background of any scene indoors.

Well, fuck you too

I did nothing to you and yet you attack me on a personal level?!

Other ways to feel old:
- Smells Like Teen Spirit came out in 1991, just 22 years after the moon landing. As of now, it's been 34 years since its release.
- Back to the Future came out in 1985, which is 40 years ago, and only 30 years from 1955.
- The Matrix is a 1999 film. It was old enough to drink... five years ago.
- Alex Warren, who is currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hadn't yet reached one year old on 9/11.
- The video game Doom came out in 1993. Pac-Man came out in 1980. 13 years between the games. But it's been 32 years since Doom.
Should I go on?

This relevant XKCD is a teenager now

You're wrong. It's an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.
-
The future scenes in Back to the Future II take place ten years in the past.

I was having a good day
-
Dont do that

Listen here you little shit...
-
........I JUST woke up! Why do you want me to feel old???
-
Well damn.
1990-1995 were definitely a nicer place to be than 1955-1960, though, so we got that going for us as far as the 35yo past is concerned.
-
1995 was amazing, really the whole 90s.
Amazing music, peace, and nobody was afraid to tell all the douchebags of the world to go f themselves.
-
Don't forget saturday morning cartoons and music on mtv
-
I’m sure someone will come along and point out that the 90s were no more or less peaceful than any other decade.
But it did seem like a time of hope. Collapse of USSR. End of Cold War. Feels like now we’re doing the same thing, just historians will come up with a new label for it.
-
Yeah IDK about peace, but in terms of tolerance in 'the west' it was a huge step up over 1955, and rave culture in particular (where it was a thing anyway; might have been focused on european countries like UK and Germany?) was probably more tolerant and friendly than a lot of popular 'party' scenes today.
-
I agree that the music was fine. I don't know about the rest of it.

If Back to the Future were made today, Marty would be going back to the year 1995 instead of 1955.

NO ITS NOT SHUT UP

My dad was born in 1955. My oldest brother was born in 1990.
This is fucking with me

35 is not a reasonable age to become a parent? Is a bit older than it used to be.

Fuck you. How dare you attack me like this

LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA

That's not true, that's impossible!
I am all of the sudden Luke Skywalker, a character from that old classic film.
