Kids be like wtf you didn't have flashlights yet?
Torches in this context are flashlights.
... Yes... That's the joke.
You gotta remember that in the Old World, 100 years is not a long time. It's only like 30 years. So in the 90s, they were 100 years ago and hadn't invented flashlights yet so they used torches instead.
