I think each generation defines what is "cool" for them. I remember a time when Barry Manilow was cool. And Maynard Ferguson. And Abba.
Things are a little different for our kids. We were raised by parents who didn't get rock and roll. Our kids share that with us. Erin is big into Queen, Bowie, and Tull, and is going through a big Beatles phase right now.
Still, fashions change, and there will always be something to make parents say, "What is up with that?"
