I thought the same about Friends with their cringy homophobia.

Loved the show back in the day and feel weird now not having picked up on that back then.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's hard to even watch old episodes of The Simpsons without explaining to my children why the multitude of lazy "gay jokes" aren't funny.

I get the same feeling watching MST3K or M*A*S*H now. It's hilarious and genuine but many jokes, as tame as they are, are now taboo and it's sad.

Humans can barely keep up with the ever-evolving moving goal posts. AI will have even more of a difficult time.

The 90s are very far away. A lot of content from 20 years ago did not age well.

I watched Carmen (the Opera) yesterday, and it’s weird how much the opera has aged compared to my first seeing it 20 years ago. Like possibly more in 20 years than the 200 before that.
