The person you're responding to isn't disparaging you. They're simply stating their opinion. That's all a judgment about whether something is recent can be.

Fine, that’s fair. It’s not explicitly disparaging, it’s just implying that facts older than you, personally, can remember are irrelevant. I don’t know what to call this, but none of the words that come to mind are positive.

Someone on a parallel thread explicitly called the 1980s “ancient”, so whatever.
