Emphasis on "feel", you can be 20 years old and still have something that makes you realize "i've been on the planet for quite some time"

cars (2006)

The 3rd one really made me feel old. I was like a toddler when the 1st cars came out and was MAD about lightning mcqueen. So to see him attacked and constantly called old really hit me personally.

This comment makes me feel old.

More broadly speaking, these types of comments, where someone talks about being such and such age when X came out/happened/etc.

In this particular instance, I ignored the cars franchise altogether until my first was born in 2013. I was finishing up a degree that I took a bit too long to get in 2006.
