Ouch.

Saw a good one on reddit. This guy posted, "you 20 somethings think you're old? Wait till you're older than the president."

He won the internet that day.

You know your old when you can remember the names of the original Power Rangers.

The pink ranger was the stuff of early teenage fantasies

You turn on the radio and all the new songs sound the same. So you tell your daughter back in my day we listened to these songs.

I don't know what happened to my N64 from my youth, I think my brother has it.

Still got just about every game released on an emulator on my PC and some USB N64 controllers (just a couple of bucks on ebay) and can play any time. :)

Also have an emulator on my phone, I use mupen64 on android. Any decent smartphone should run it no worries, although using on screen controls can be annoying.

When you don't understand massive cultural phenomena because you were too old when it occurred is very jarring the first time it happens -

I first noticed this when the 20-somethings at my work make Harry Potter references in conversations and I have no farking idea of what they are talking about!

Yo-Yo's made a brief comeback in the late 90's. If you didn't have a glow in the dark one you might as well just not bother. Digimon's got banned at our school because people would sook it up when there digimon died in battle.
