"Back in my day" is our parents' and grandparents' favorite thing to say. If you're between 25 and 30 then you are years away from using that phrase yourself Or are you?
You might think that you are up to date with what's in and the current trends but looking at some pop culture references you just might get dumbfounded of how old they really are and that they've been a part of your life.
That is the thing about pop culture, there isn't a time limit to it. It can stretch from a few years to a few decades. Time to be reminded of the true age of these icons.
Get ready for a pop culture age shock.
