How trendy are your parents? Are they down with the kids of today? How and in what ways?!

My folks were with it in 1983. They had the Flashdance soundtrack and windsurfed.

Awww ure sweet

Mine are so opposite of yours JD.

mine were always trendy, especially in the 80's cause they were in their 20's and listening to all the awesome 80's music, which helped shaped my musical taste.

My dad is old as Methuselem from a pretty conservative backround, and his lifestyle attitudes definitely reflect that.

My mother, crazy and annoying as she is on the 'mom' tip, has a flip side that makes her really fun. In her mid 60's, she still has a love for ALLLL things mundane, watches more MTV than I do and will generally be able to tell me what's on Perez Hilton's latest blog before people on the Org. When I used to live in the States and she would come to visit us from the North, most of my dinner parties usually revolved around HER as my friends completely ignored me & my sister . Probably the best times to watch her get her "trend" on are the all-girls happy-hour/sushi lunches we would gather for: put her at the head of the table & give that old lady some sake and a hot topic to chomp on, and she's pure entertainment (and refreshingly contemporary in her views)...in everything from hot tv shows, top 40 music, to religious fundamentalism to gay rights . Mommy is, in short, A TRIP. Just imagine my old ass father shuffling around the house humming some Cab Calloway tune from 1938, while this lady's sitting up singing to Mariah's "Shake It Off" video, full blast on MTV

My parents have NEVER been trendy! Just picture very old fashion mexican parents and you have mine.

My mother was very trendy.


little from the past and little of the present.

My house is the block hang out, the kids think we are cool

I had to go down to the car today. My Dad had pinched one of my Talvin Singh CD's.

Oh god no!!! My dad and mom were born in 1930 and 1934 respectively. They are SO VERY out of touch. Can we say really old fashioned?

My dad is kinda - does the best he can, I guess. My mom is quite trendy.

My Mum loves PussyCat Dolls and hip hop music..

I caught my Dad air guitaring to 'I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man'. I think that's kinda cool/sad in equal measure.

Is that the other day when he made that CD?

REDFEATHERS said:

That was another time. It's his favourite Prince song though I think. He did put it on his compilation CD for his colleagues which he makes every year. Along with 'Purple Rain' and 'The Question Of U'. My Mum's favourites are 'The Beautiful Ones' and 'Pink Cashmere'. She's got 'The Beautiful Ones' as her ring tone along with her pic of Al Pacino in 'Scarface'.

JDInteractive said:

Do they like the real dirrrttty Prince songs too?

REDFEATHERS said:

That's just me. My Mum just says he's a bad lad when he's being all rude.
