People, events and language that Gen Z don't know.

They only know what Gaga told them. Or because they bought the collector Barbie.

They know him b/c he died when some of them were on the internet. Some wear his shirts and think it's cute they "discovered" him. (rolls eyes)

Cursive?

Typing?

Doing math on paper?

do they know the Borscht Belt and Chitlin' Circuit?

Many of my contemporary 60yos have never heard of the Chitlin' Circuit.

Anything before 1990

Do they know Liza?

Then they asked you who DJ Bobo was and you stared at them.

References to living in a van by the river.

BOWIE IS A GOD!!! I played Bowie all the time when I was working from home.

Bowie, Prince, all the Jazz greats, R&B greats, Led Zepplin (no stairway to heaven).

Disco of course!!

Bowie was pretty much over by the early 90s. He then disappeared.

Bowie’s music didn’t age well.

Bowie is one of my gods for sure. But, yeah, it does seem like he's faded out of relevancy.

Happens to most. Even most of the greats.

Rick Beato did this video on the four bands that will be popular in fifty years based on current streaming numbers. He concluded that it will be The Beatles, Nirvana, Queen (all of which I guess correctly) and The Police (which I did not).

Which means no Bowie or Led Zep or Pink Floyd or Stones. It was kinda shocking to me to think that those icons of my youth are on their way out.

Bowie music is the "essence of life"

Diamond Dogs was my theme song on my way to destroying my life with "homo sex, meth and rock& roll".

it didn't happen but not because I didn't try.

For me it was Ziggy.
