What I've noticed is people who think that various 90s bands were from the 80s, or vice versa.
That's not that weird though.
The sound or design choices that come to define a decade, often pre-date it.
Eg. House music originated in the 80s but became mainstream in the 90s. So if I popped on a random 80s house track, if you don't know your stuff, you're likely to think it's 90s.
Yeah, often sounds progress over several years and you might have someone from one decade that was a groundbreaker, and then tons of bands 5 years later sound like them.
I am a giant music nerd and it is really weird how often I am completely wrong about the year that bands/albums came out. It's pretty much just early 80s vs late 80s for me though.
To be fair I'm old enough that it's all starting to run together now. Just last night my husband and I were arguing about what year the Deftones White Pony album was released. I remembered completely wrong.
The only way I can have any accuracy about a pop culture event is if I can associate that event with a concrete event that happened in my life (and I remember the date of). It makes it fairly easy to remember events that happened when I was in school (what grade was I in? what year was I in that grade?) but harder for things since I have been working (where did I live/work? well that narrows it down to a few years).
