My teen coworkers told me that he found an old Xbox 360 in his basement and has had a lot of fun playing "retro" games like Tony Hawk Underground and Burnout 3. (hexbear.net)

A 19 year old today would have been 8 when the 360 was replaced by the XBone, and may have kept playing on one for a few years beyond that. It wasn’t quite that long ago when that generation was still current. Perhaps these particular kids / child labourers are so young they think the “retro” cutoff line is the start of the pandemic.

If they're teenagers then Tony Hawk Underground is literally older than them, as it came out in 2003

True, and I just checked Burnout 3, the other game OP mentioned, it’s from 2004. These are both Playstation 2 era games. These games aren’t just older than any teenager, they’re also older than the Xbox 360 the teenagers supposedly found. Who knows whatever it was they actually found, or are actually playing.
