And I mean really retarded. Such that I will try and start a discussion about the 1970s and mixed-up old people will start talking about how great it was to play Nintendo and listen to Duran Duran.

Can't say I've ever seen anyone old enough to have lived through those decades mix up the 70s & 80s (unless they're TEH OLD and everything since the 60s is a blur for them), but I've seen plenty of younger people confuse things from the 90s with things from the 80s (and vice versa). Plus the same with the 60s & 70s, 90s & 2000s, etc.
(;^Д^)
It's also admittedly a little annoying when someone has clearly only read about something on Wikipedia or watched a YouTube video on it, but not taken into account that (for example) the date something launched is not the date it was widely adopted or available in all regions, or that things were seldom as simple as "everyone thought X was great/sucked", or that the information on the Internet is often flat-out wrong...
