I think you have to be over 30 to use the term "back in the day" and "ol' skool".
You have to at least have grown up in the 80's. The 80s decade has the most defining moment in fashion, music, and culture. It is specifically distinct from the 70's...it paved way for the 90s (although the 90s look much just like an extension of the 80s) and there is nothing defining in 2000's so far. The fun thing about the 80s is that it had a specific beginning, and a tragic end. Everything in the 80s is fun trivia. Heck they have a whole game based on the 80s. We're awesome....wait we used "rad" back in the day. We're rad!

Addition:
If you want to say "back in the day"..you got be able to at least use the term correctly in relation to what your back in the day was. For example My "back in the day" could be saying "Remember back in the day when a school fight only ended in bruises?" I think its a little unfair to say "Remember back int eh day when school fights involved guns?" There has to be a defining moment in your life. Back when you are 5 is not your defining moment. "Back in the day" and "old skool" is supposed to define the time you grew up in...when you started becoming part of that decade. These times are when you start to have identity...in your teens.

"Back in the day" or "old school" doesn't refer to a specific set of dates. Anyone can use it. The terms do not mean that it has to be at least a certain amount of time old. I am 24 and to me "back in the day" or "old school" refers to stuff that I remember from when I was in grade school or when I was a kid. If only people over 30 should be allowed to say these terms then maybe those of us under 30 should be allowed to refer to you all as "old" or "old school" or "over the hill" since I'm guessing we are still too "young" or "babies".

"Back in the day" can be said by anyone, everyone has there own memory of what their "back in the day" was. It is different for everyone.
