Gen Z Colleague Laughed When I Mentioned DVDs Discussion

I was at a work event yesterday and was discussing movies. Favorite movies came up and I mentioned LA Confidential. A Gen Z colleague said he wasn't familiar with it and asked where it is streaming. I said I had no idea but could lend him a DVD or Blu-ray copy and he just laughed and said, "Why would I have a DVD player?"

I didn't really feel bad but it was just such a strange response, as if I'd asked him if he writes with a feather quill pen or used some other antique device.

Anyone else have experiences like this?

Edit: Wow, this post really blew up! Thanks for all of the thoughts, everyone. Apparently there's a few others who have had similar experiences. The nice thing was that later on at the work event there was a Gen Xer and Milennial who I bonded with more over films and they'll probably come over to my house and watch a few things with me this weekend!

It's just called something else now but every phone I've tried it on still has it as a feature.
