I can’t figure out what it means. Is it that they remember being young in 1998?
No, it's that 1998 is so far before they were born that they blurred it with other "recognizably modern but fundamentally outdated" time periods.
A world where cell phones were not common, only 20% of homes had Internet, social media didn't exist yet and mass media in general was far more homogeneous is as different from now to a child of today as the 1940s.

maybe - just maybe - the part on the left could easily be reconstructed by dropping that smartphone, deleting social media and hooking up with friends by simply showing up there.
at least outside of the US that's totally doable without being arrested.
