What I've noticed is people who think that various 90s bands were from the 80s, or vice versa.

The only way I can have any accuracy about a pop culture event is if I can associate that event with a concrete event that happened in my life (and I remember the date of). It makes it fairly easy to remember events that happened when I was in school (what grade was I in? what year was I in that grade?) but harder for things since I have been working (where did I live/work? well that narrows it down to a few years).

A disturbing amount of people born after the dissolution of Soviet Union tend to be enthusiastic about communism.

Young people are awesome in many ways, but they're capable of being incredibly dumb at the same time. Not unlike the previous generations, I guess.
