When does the present become the past?

I was having a frustrating day as a post for this very site I was working on was not coming together well. To cheer myself up I thought I might play a bit of High School Musical as it generally makes me a very happy bunny. I went to Youtube and on one of the videos I found this comment;

 used to love these movies :O I was obsessed with every disney star...back in the day when JB stood for Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron was the #1 teen heartthrob, Miley was the girl who was going to be a billionaire by 18, and everyone wanted to be Vanessa Hudgens because she had the best boyfriend in the world :P
Remember the days when the biggest drama was miley and nick breaking up? oh the good old days :P

I'm pretty sure what this girl is describing is still the present. The last time I checked High School Musical was still massive and Miley Cyrus was still minted. How can this persons life have changed in such a way that she feels she can reminisce about things that happened only 3 years ago. I think the world is coping ok with JB standing for Justin Bieber, I'm sure on the whole the Jonas Brothers are fine with it. I remember the days when you just called everybody by there full name and didn't needlessly abbreviate everything, so it wasn't such a big deal if things had the same initials. This person actually refers to this as the good old days! If High School Musical is classed as the old days I think we can legitimately start showing Pokemon episodes in history classes, and write essays on yoyo's. 

'Remember the days when the biggest drama was miley and nick breaking up?' What are the drama's that are happening now? I'm sure twitter would implode on itself with devastation if Selena and Justin broke up. 27 people have liked this comment meaning they must agree that times have changed, I just literally have no idea in what way. It makes me feel very old.
