    As a 30+ person, this hits true. I heard my first friend say “the crap music these kids are listening to”. Like dude, have just some self awareness, remember our parents saying green day and blink -182 were crap.

    I would add to this that we don’t need to understand something for there to be value to others. There are trends I don’t understand, like dancing on tiktok, but it apparently brings the youths joy so have at it.

      As a 40+ person, I strongly agree with my young colleague here.

      Listen to what you want, kids. Enjoy it. And don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong about it.

      As Common once put it, “If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hatin’.”

          Indeed, but this particular sub-thread started with an OP giving advice to older people, and is now older people responding to that comment. These aren’t top level comments, so let the conversation go where it may.
