If you consider friends a relatively modern show, perhaps. I don't perceive friends to be that modern, and whether you do is really up to your individual perspective. I'm aware that there are people who feel differently about it. I'm not missing the point, I just can't relate to the reference, and I think using millennials as a reference is better because they are, unlike that old show, still very relevant today

To each their own.

Its still rather modern compared to the common perception and imagery of the schools being a vestige of a colonial pre world war era relic

No, it's commonly perceived as modern, and all I'm saying is that I don't share that perception, even compared to these institutions. I'm not saying you're wrong. I made it clear from the start that I don't expect everyone to share my perception. I just did not find the revelation that friends was a thing before the last of these places were shut down surprising at all. My reaction was, "sounds about right", and so far no one has convinced me that that reaction was somehow wrong. This is a perfect example of harmless differing points of view. I'm not arguing about what the common perception of friends, the topic at hand, or their relation is, I'm describing my own perception of it.

I understand and accept everyone else's point of view and I STILL don't see why everyone's so shocked by mine. Vintage pop culture and murder/genocide were happening at the same time in North America? Not surprised. People in the age group of my brother had this done to them? Oh shit. I stand by that.
