OP, I get it.

Most college/university AUs are kind of terrible but I still read them even though reading characters known as adults but re-cast as teenagers usually feels like I'm eating underbaked bread -- almost but not quite done yet.

I don't expect hyper-reality in fic, but I was in post-secondary in the late 80s and early 90s and my age is starting to match some of the "older" characters, so it jangles my senses something fierce when those types of anachronisms pop up. Most of the time I can let it ride -- it's fic, after all -- but if it's bad enough, I have to stop reading because my own memory of reality gets in the way of accepting that someone could have googled something or watched movies or TV shows on their laptop in 1992.
