Gen z here. I was not around in the 80's or 90's, but everything people describe as being from the 90's and some stuff from the 80's was just my life in the mid 2000's. I definitely know what pagers are. Like hell, we had a stack of floppy discs at home and my first computer had a floppy disc reader. I used to play duck hunt on my dad's nes and super Mario Land on my own Gameboy. That stuff doesn't just disappear at the turn of the decade.

2007 here, never used a pager. Honestly thought it was one of those clippy step counters at first.

I do however have a Gameboy and a stack of floppies.
