I'm born 94. I remember mowing lawns of the neighborhood and selling all of my pokemon cards in 2006 because my parents explain to me we were struggling. They didn't ask me to do it. I did it on my own. Because I wanted to help.

I didn't need to be and adult to experience an economic crisis. And it didn't exactly stop in 2007 either now did it?

I remember 2001 as well. It was a very big deal.

Y2k was nothing. Or so I was told when I asked what the fuzz is about. Since some people acted like the Mayan calendar was coming to an end.

So I don't see why you feel like you need to gatekeep who did and didn't "genuinly" experience certain events. Those who knows, knows. Isn't that enough?
