I got the 1990's and the 1900's confused.
For every low there is a high.
Space Gal
The Viacom V of Doom. I thought it was like something from the 60s, but it was introduced in the 70s and used as late as the 80s.
First time I heard Black Label Society, I thought they were from the 80s.
Not even stars last forever.
- I thought the Black Eyed Peas song "Hey Mama" came out in 2000. It's actually from 2004!
- I already mentioned this in the Mandela Effect thread, but I thought the scene from The Simpsons episode "Moe Baby Blues" where Grampa runs around in a bathrobe and slippers (and eventually naked) yelling "The Swedish are coming!" was from one of the earlier seasons, not an episode that was the finale of season 14.
- I thought Roger Ebert died around 2007-2008. He died in 2013.

As someone who never watched it, I used to think Lost first came out in the latter half of the 90s for whatever reason. It actually started in 2004

I thought Pulp Fiction was from the late 80's but actually came out in 1994.
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.
CG for short
I thought Just Mercy was released in 2009 until I googled the movie and found out it was actually released in 2019.
I probably thought it was released in 2009 because I misheard someone mentioning the year the film was released.

I didn't know until after Dusty Hill died that ZZ Top's iconic beards weren't fully grown until the 80s, just in time for MTV to launch and the band to start making music videos, given that most of the songs that are played on classic rock radio come from the 70s and early 80s.
I didnt know Captain America was created and first published in the 1940s until I read a comic book price guide (the same price guide is also where I first learned that Mad was a comic book before a magazine).
American Born Chinese has aged well enough that I thought it was from The New '10s, but it’s from 2006.
What are some examples you have of things you thought were older or newer than they actually were? I posted this in the Todd in the Shadows thread, but I used to think that Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood was a song from the 50s or 60s, not an 80s song (and I grew up in the 80s, so I have no real excuse). I thought the same thing about Stevie Ray Vaughn songs.
