'That won't be me'

What’s up with the fact that teens are now listening to the same exact music their parents listen to. When I’m in the car with my parents they are listening to old classics like Gerald LeVert’s “I’d Give Anything,” while I’m in the back with my headphones on listening to “Take You Down” by Chris Brown. My mom doesn’t even know the beats to half of the songs I listen to. Don’t get me wrong, I like some of the old classics and I have some on my phone, but never will you catch me singing it with my mom. That’s not happening. It’s just not right if both the parent and child are in the car singing “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne and they know every word. There are just some songs that shouldn’t be sung by both the child and adult. A line has to be drawn here. Why does a thirty year old even want to listen to Lil Wayne? All I know is that won’t be me ten years from now.
