This ignores a very important factor in decades that are defined by new technology: money
Doesn’t matter what the latest gizmo is, if you grew up in a household that was strapped for cash, your childhood will have more in common with the previous generation than with your peers.
This was definitely my experience. I was born in '95, but we were still buying VHS tapes (from Goodwill) well into the late aughts. I still had a small collection of them up until I moved out, but I didn’t bring them with me
