    nobody ever says it like that.

    we say talk about it in relation to culture and trends, which is more meaningful.

    when i was born, in 1981, the civil rights movement wasn’t old enough to drink alcohol. yet when i grew up i had no awareness of this when i interacted with anyone who wasn’t white.

    just like someone born in 2001 doesn’t understand life without smartphones.
