This is a question Turning into your parents

Unable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?

Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

No problem with that
You sound quite sensible.

It's refreshing to hear of a teenager these days who is able to enjoy alcohol sensibly: i.e to choose drinks in moderation which are to their taste - as opposed to simply drinking alcohol with the sole intention to get drunk. Those are the morons - and to hear a 16-year-old like you actually gives me some hope for the future.

You're right about music too. Any song which will endure as a classic - still to be played and remembered for decades to come - will have a proper tune and lyrics which can be understood. The other trash comes and goes, and is forgotten very quickly.

I disagree about lyrics that can be understood.
Were that a criterion for a good song, then all songs ought to be translated, which is absurd. There's plenty of good incomprehensible stuff. Moreover, that's often a good thing - being a good songwriter doesn't imply being a good writer. Most lyrics are awful, across the board.
