Not much chance of that.
Like most people my age, I have parents who are utterly uninterested in any music that came out after about 1960 and have made no effort to keep up with current culture. They're aware of who the Beatles were, but know nothing of Pink Floyd or any other major musicians.

Dad is a classic Type A career-driven workaholic- if it isn't related to work or making money, he isn't interested in it. Mom has been the housewife for over fifty years and at one point ran a shop- somehow I don't think that's a likely thing for me. They both dress rather conservatively in old peoples' styles.

I, on the other hand, still introduce my kids to new bands and exchange mp3s with them. I work to live, not the other way around. I typically wear jeans or shorts and tee shirts, and have a lot of creative hobbies. I did inherit Mom's interest in cooking, and have often compared notes on recipes with her- but so do my kids with me.

Nope, I'd say that I'm living in a wholly different world than the one they know.

However, I can definitely see my kids starting to turn into me...
