    i recall several christmas's ago, my wife and I were over at her parents, and there was a nice family party going on..
    we were sitting with her younger cousins, who at the time were teenagers (we would have been in our mid 30's)
    i remember them all chatting about new bands/artists they were listening to at the time...all hip-hop etc...
    they must have named about a dozen or so, and I realized, I had NO idea who any of them were....not one..
    it suddenly dawned on me that I'd passed some kind of threshold or something...I'd drifted past 'hip' or 'with it' or something....it just hit me like a brick...

    now all of them are in their mid 20 to later 20's now....all of them have finished school and started their first careers, 2 of them are married now, one's got a kid....

    it'll be their turn next :)
