The first time I heard that the 60s were forty years ago, I literally counted the decades off on my fingers because I couldn’t believe it. Yes, I know it’s more like fifty years now, but I’m used to it.
I don’t know if some periods of pop-cultural history are simply more remarkable than others and thus leave more vivid memories, or it just comes from aging. I am 37 and everything post-2000 is a blur. I don’t think I could name more than one popular song esp. one I liked that was released after 2000. To me the difference between 1992 and 1996 was huge, such as techno-house went from underground to mainstream and transformed the whole musical landscape, 2000 to 2010 is like, meh, some hipster bands got more popular than some other hipster bands?…
