I thought of you during the movie. It’s a Mike and Jay scene, man.

You’ll love it!

Yes.

Also, these 1989 lyrics could not be more 2025:

“These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive
In such a graceless age?”

YMMV, but that’s how I mentally, emotionally place and “feel” these 21st century decades without even mentioning my marriage, my kids, and divorce, etc.

And that’s just political, practical stuff. Cultural stuff I can place, too.

2000s- Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies.

2010s - Marvel Cinematic Universe and return of Star Wars

2020s - Streaming all media: everything everywhere all at once. But I still buy physical media, dammit.

2000s - 9/11 but also Y2K virus and Bush v Gore. Mostly flip phones, blackberries, and no significant social media until late 00s unless you count MySpace.

2010s - Obama, Great Recession, ubiquitous social media and smartphones.

2020s - Pandemic, 1/6/21, and endless Trump hangover.
