When discussing nostalgic material, the phrase "I was born in the wrong generation" has become a commonly mocked cliche. Partly this is just because of its overuse. There was a time when you couldn't watch a music video who's comments weren't flooded with teenagers spamming the quote verbatim. I think another reason it was so mocked is because it was often just not true. You weren't born too late to listen to Jimmy Hendricks, the proof is that you're commenting on a song of his that you just listened to.
Some things however, legitimately can't be experienced anymore. Classic 8-bit games can still be played, more conveniently than in their own time even. All of the rides at Action Park, however have been taken down. Most of Aristotle's writings have been lost to time. Online games like Club Penguin have been taken down, and many others have been updated to the point that they no longer resemble their original version.
The question I have for the forum is this: What things you have you done/wanted to do that truly cannot be done any more?
As an example of what I am, and what I'm not looking for, I really like DDR. I wasn't born in the wrong generation to play it, because I play all the time on my pad at home. I was born in the wrong generation to go to arcades though. The last arcade near my home closed down several years ago.
