    eMule was first released in 2002, as an open source alternative client to the official eDonkey2000 client.

    Napster would have technically been a 90’s term, since it released mid 1999, but p2p wasn’t really a mainstream thing until the early 2000’s.

      But you wouldn’t have been using eMule in the early 2000’s unless you lived through the 90’s so I think it counts.

      I also used eMule.

        Sorry, I fail to see, how a product that was developed from 2002 until 2017 proves that you lived through the 90’s.

          Well, if you had read my comment carefully within its context you’d see I said specifically that if you were using eMule in the early 2000s then you must have lived through the 90’s, which is true.

          If you need more help understanding that then please let me know so I can ignore your request at my leisure.
