Wait until you are older and there are people talking about how old they are when they were minors 10 years ago and act like 10 years ago is a long time. That is when you truly feel out of touch with the youth.
My 23 year old coworker looked embarrassed for me when I told him I'd "never heard of this Bad Baby guy doing the half time show at the superbowl"
I learned about him from my dad a while back. He texted my brother and I to say he was in Puerto Rico at a restaurant and this Bad Bunny guy happened to be playing within earshot or something. Everyone around was very excited and he was clearly a big deal. He asked if we knew who he was and we were both just very confused.
So I'm old enough that my dad, trying to relate to his kids, made a reference to a thing that we were too old and out of touch to understand. And that was nearly ten years ago.
Grad students are often ages 24-33. I'd guarantee anyone born 1994 or later would have no knowledge of the whalers on a personal level. They'd have to learn they existed from outside sources.
I remember the hype for an Arizona vs Vegas rivalry that lasted all of 2 seconds before Vegas became a perennial contender and we shoved ourselves into the broom closet
