I fucking hate that phrase. Abraham Lincoln was also before your time, but I'm willing to bet you've heard of him. If something is available to see or hear, then when it was made doesn't matter. I like Ed Wood movies and Beatles' songs, both of which were produced before I was born.
If it's something you haven't seen or weren't interested in, say you haven't seen it or weren't interested in it. "Before/After my time" is dismissive and insulting, implying that what happened when you weren't around is irrelevant. And really, "After your time" would mean anything that happened post-death. This post happened after Chester Bennington's time, for example.
Jesus backflipping Christ, I wish people would think before they use these stupid phrases.
