Personally, I can relate to this it’s like trying to talk to someone who is 50 years older than me about current music genre while they were listening to rock & roll for example like The Who I’m sitting here thinking “that is one bad band name” but in his/her generation that was the music. It’s hard to relate when there is such a big age gap. In Experiment #2 the same process was used just like Experiment #1, but the confederates were wearing construction worker uniforms and no door. The same exact questions were asked nothing changed, but the clothes they wore & type of age group it was aimed at which were all younger in age between the ages of 18-24. Surprisingly only 4 out of 12 noticed any difference after the test was conducted unlike the first experiment.
