Where? Maybe in rich western countries (US?). Growing up in Eastern Europe in the '90's, everyone from 9 years old to mid thirties was more or less proficient with building PCs and operating them since we couldn't afford locked down gaming consoles, DVD players and legitimate legit digital content of the time, so PCs were the only platform to support all forms of digital entertainment for pirated content, but it was never associated with being a "hacker" who could cause harm, since it was such common knowledge and everyone was doing it.
