The other day as E and I were driving to the grocery store, I decided to put some music on. I played a more recent album by Echosmith. E decided she didn't like the music and asked if we could listen to Taylor Swift instead. I told her no and when she inevitably asked why I said that Echosmith is more talented than Taylor Swift. E replied by telling me that "Taylor Swift is more famous than Echosmith, so obviously she's better." And then she shocks me by continuing with, "It's just that Echosmith's music is not made for the new generation." I asked her what she meant by "new" generation. Apparently, the "new" generation is children 8 and under, and that as a 20 year old I am a member of the "old" generation, together with her parents and Abraham Lincoln. And as part of the old generation, I can't understand that Taylor Swift is actually way better than a band that's not really that famous.
Welcome to being "old" my fellow 20 year olds.
This is life,
Zuri
