Team snooki indeed. Her husband didn’t go around preaching intolerance in the name of god. Snooki was in Jersey shore did we forget?

I beg your pardon but You Oughta Know has held up as beautifully as I have. It's still an epic angry song and so much more fulfilling than Since You Been Gone. Which isn't awful but is much more polite.

My 11 year old keeps me in check. He would have zero idea who Alanis is. To be fair, I don’t listen to her at all (true story: I saw her and Tori in concert together. Tori performed first and I left before Alanis because she is so much meh for me). But whenever we listen to music I have to explain who the band is and…

I don’t understand like half of those words...

But don’t worry, kiddos; in about 20 years people will be all, “Who the fuck is Justin Beiber?” too.

I find it more ironic that they don’t know what google is.

To these kids:

YOU CANNOT CALL YOUR MONEY LOONIES THAT IS RIDICULOUS CANADA IS NOT REAL

People/things my early 20 year old former colleagues (plural) had never heard of: Michael Keaton; that A Beautiful Mind film (shrugging, “dunno, it probably came out before I was born, tbh”), The Flintstones in addition to many other classic cartoons - and ohmygod, where is my fainting couch: George Michael. And I…

grrr why i can’t I embed a tweet?

My step daughter was freaked out by the dial tone when we got a land line. And she held the phone upside down.

I grew up an angsty teen in the late 80s/early 90s, and Morissette’s music provided the soundtrack to my adolescence, and I’M not exactly sure I want/wanted to know who she is, either.

For me, Canada's finest moment was when she was dating Ryan Reynolds.

Or Kanye and Sir Paul

I once had 2 interns who didn’t know what a fax was. They called, “there was this weird beeping sound” so they hung up and ran to me in confusion.

It’s kinda weird. Not like that I was a super cool teenager or anything, but I had at least a passing familiarity with musicians who existed and were popular before “my time”.

Well, life does have a funny way of helping you out on that front.

The fact that Alanis is considered too old for kids to know makes me feel extra old because her album came out when I was in my mid-20s. I liked it but it wasn’t like this defining moment.

Animal pee isn’t the worst thing. I had a dog who lived far beyond her breed’s normal life expectancy. I used to hoist her into bed with me every night because I didn’t think her bed was comfortable enough for her. She was a big girl, around 65 lbs. Many was the morning that I awoke perfumed with canine urine. I got…

I want angry cats to pee in their hair while they sleep. What utter bastards.
