I would say that the average "under 30" member of Ironworks [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] ...excuse me... Escape forum is most likely more informed then the average person under 30.

However, Belle works with plenty of people who are barely into their 20s and it is both laughable and pathetic at the lack of general knowledge of recent history/culture they possess. True, many of the things listed in Charean's initial post are "generational", but it does make you think--why don't those younger folks learn as much these days? Oh, well. I'm quite sure the people who are 15 to 20 years older than me think "why do those 30-somethings (another reference to 80s TV) not know the things I know?" [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
We once heard two teenagers in Blockbuster talking about The Phantom Menace, and one of them asked "who is Darth Vader?" [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

Every generation gets to laugh at the younger generations.

Meanwhile, I'll pull up to the drive-through window in my DeLorean, ask "where's the beef?", phone home, vote for Bill and Opus, then make Night Tracks to the drive-in. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]
