This week was HUGE for 37-year-olds across the world. No, mortgage rates didn’t drop. We didn’t get a new season of ‘X-Files’ and Sabrina Carpenter wasn’t spotted wearing flannel and ripped jeans, ushering in a new era of grunge. Instead, Gen-Xers and ageing millennials from Salt Lake City to Shanghai got the momentous news that Oasis—a band that pledged to never reunite as long as the sun hung in the sky—had reunited.

But don’t take our word for it. Just ask the latest inductee into the Old Guy Hall of Pain, Shane Lowry, who was asked on Wednesday to name the one celebrity he would grab a drink with if given the chance. We all know Lowry likes a pint or six from time to time, so there was little hesitation in his answer:

“I would love to have a drink with Oasis,” he said.

The only problem? The FanDuel reporter interviewing Lowry no idea who, or even what, Oasis were. Watch it and weep.

It was a tough scene for both Ali McCann, who somehow survived college without one guy trying to play “Wonderwall” for her on his acoustic guitar, and Lowry, who discovered in real time that he had become [dun dun dun] old.

“OH MY GOD,” the 2019 Open champ laughed in disbelief when McCann admitted she had never heard of the Brit-Pop kings. “You’re obviously way younger than me. This [the Oasis reunion] is the biggest news ever!”

“You don’t know who Oasis are!?” another voice immediately chimed in behind Lowry.

“Blasphemy!” the Irishman replied.

We’re not trying to embarrass McCann. We all have gaps. We’re all prisoners of context. Same goes for Lowry. The moment you learn a younger generation has never heard of a band you’ve drank, cried, fought and made love to is a rite of passage. It is a necessary port on the voyage to old age. Welcome aboard, Shane. We’ll see you in the front row next summer.
