PLEASE tell me, everyone here remembers TRL? I'm what you might call an elder millennial, and TRL was the thing when I was in middle school, I would come home every day and watch it. Well, at work today, we were discussing major cultural trends and somehow MTV/TRL from the late 90s/early 00s entered the conversation. Out of the 20 people in this meeting, 3 of us remember TRL, 4 Boomers didn't seem to get it, but more distressing, all of the people in their 20s and early 30s, had never heard of

of TRL. I'm only 38, I'm not old yet, am I? I get Gen Z not growing up with TRL but how are the peeps in their early 30s not familiar with it? Everyone here grew up with it, right?

I am in my early 30s and remember TRL, but I didn't watch it a ton though. We didn’t always have cable. Old enough to remember having just an antenna on the tv and getting a few basic channels. Saved by the Bell I absolutely remember too! Interesting how differently everybody remembers things.

I’m Gen X. I didn’t watch it, but I knew what it was. I grew up when MTV really was music television - nothing but music videos all day. You just watched until your favorite videos came on 😀Welcome to feeling old.

I’m nearly gen z millennial here and I remember it

I think a lot of people may not have had cable or satellite perhaps. I’m 35 and certainly remember TRL. It was my world

I recently made a Seinfeld reference among gen z coworkers. They didn’t get it and I discovered none of them have even seen an ep. That one hurt.
