One thing I had accepted as fact once I approached my late 20s was that it was OK to “not get” what the younger kids were doing.  That’s the whole point of being young – it’s not supposed to make sense to the older generations.  They’re carving out their own identity and there is a need to be unique from their elders.  While part of that equation is the reality that a lot of things kids do or songs they listen to are rehashes from previous eras, it’s still different to them based on what they know.  For this conversation’s purpose, let’s keep it to fashion styles (and music) and not the more alarming trend of younger kids’ se ...
