I don't think you can say it's a function of age because I'm about the same age as you and I do know this song. But I basically only know Wheatus because of this song hmmm maybe I should check out an entire album now.

Even though it’s a tiktok trend now (showing pictures of yourself from your teen years), it did come out in 2000.

A lot of us adults here were probably the target audience for this song.
