This one made me laugh. The Financial Times's Robert Shrimsley, bemoaning the fact that his teenage kids go for the same bands who he loved at their age - but that, thanks to the internet, they can be so flipping knowledgeable that they displace all sense of seniority that he might once have had in the musical taste department. Should he, perhaps, fight back and stamp his authority on them by banging on about how “Yeah, I remember the first time we saw them at Wembley”?

A couple of years ago my daughter (now 12) complained that the B-52's "Really went downhill when Ricky died."
