As John Hardy said, if you use the current UNIX_TIMESTAMP you can have the years adjust themselves based on a range.
For example, my website requires users be at least 18 years old, so I range the years from at least 18 years ago MAX and go back 60-70-80 years etc for MIN (Date of Birth) This means 2 years after your app is launched, you haven't had to edit the min and max ranges.
