Discussion: Parents struggle with Pop Culture - Page 5

Before my Grandmother passed away (rip

) she always said that beyonce with her blonde fake hair wanted to be white "so damn bad"

This was during the B'Day era. She told me everyday to never get blonde hair because that's something wannabe white folks do

Back in 2010 my aunt thought Gaga was Xtina's daughter and that they were a mother/daughter duo group

My Dad always asks me about who Drake is currently dating. I honestly don't know why he cares so much

My Mom never knows the names of songs/movies/actors/actresses/etc. and is always giving me crazy descriptions when we have conversations. She gets so mad when I can't figure out what she's talking about. She's just like that SNL digital short from a few years ago

My dad and mom are actually pretty up to date for the most part

So today I asked my father if he knows Pharrell's song 'Happy' He proceeded to say
"I'm up all night till the sun, I'm up all night for good fun, I'm up all night to get happy"
I looked at him and he looks so proud I couldn't tell him, so I told him, he nailed it...

it was the music video for rita ora's "how we do" :/

I Ke$ha was on TV and my dad said "Who is this screeching cat"? After the song Applause came on and he was like "This is worse, can I watch golf?"

My mom also thought Nicki was 45 and made fun of her but when I told her she wasn't 35 yet she was mad

I don't believe this story, and also. Beyonce was brunette during Bday era.

Make the lies at least historically accurate

romonster

My mom talks **** about Gaga like all the time and how shes so crazy with her outfits and what not

Once she even brought up the "Lady Gaga is a man" rumour

She once saw the Applause single cover on her Facebook timeline and told me that Gaga's completely lost it

She CRINGED at the Yoü And I video when it was on TV

But she admits that she has talent and a great voice at least (she loves The Fame Monster)

My mom still think Hannah Montana exists and was shocked when she saw Wrecking Ball. Also when Womanizer came out my parents saw me watching the video and literally felt so happy because they thought I was straight. My father told my mom: "let him watch naked women, he's a teen"

Oh my god

I was driving my stepfather somewhere and 'Hero' by Mariah came on. He really doesn't have a clue about pop culture but saw The Bodyguard once and was mesmerized by Whitney, so when he asked me if that was the girl who sang Hero I just had to say agree.
