Soon your kids will keep you up on the latest, then you'll feel hip again.
Then they'll move out after high school (maybe) and you'll once again lose that edge.
I remember staying up for SNL long after it became lame just to see the musical guests with my kids.
One time when our daughter was in high school (she'll turn 29 next month) she wanted to go to a concert somewhere inside the city of Detroit with some friends. I asked her where, and she could'nt name a venue I had ever heard of. Turned out it was a rave, not a real concert. I wanted to know who was performing. She said "Nobody you would ever have heard of".
"Well what's their name"
"Eminem".
"What", "Some band named after a candy?"
"I told you you never heard of him."
She went, and it would still be a year or so before the Eight Mile rapper would became a household name, but I knew about Eminem before almost anyone else my age did!
She survived that period in her life, and is now a succesful advertising exec married to a guy doing very well himself.
I can't even imagine what T.J.'s kids are going to be into at age 16!
