Hey Pandas, How Do You Explain Youth Culture To Your Parents And What Is The Best Response? (Closed)

My grandmother: Why do these girls in TV wear these long fake nails and color their hair blue or green? Is it for attention?
Me: Why do you put on makeup and dye your hair a different color? Is it for attention?
Grandma: No, I do it for me, so I feel nice.
Me: There you go.
Grandma: Oh...that makes sense.

My 69-year-old dad every time I'm sitting on PC:
- Playing your video games again?
- Dad, I'm watching esports where somebody else is playing, I don't play.
- Yeah whatever, don't play for too long.

Mom: pause the game.

Me: its an online game. i cant pause it.

Mom: idc tell people no to kill you then

her- so what's the diffrence between a meme and a gif?
me- it's complicated

Me: Ma’, how do you kill a zombie?
My 63 year-old mother: Uh.. Uh.. YOU SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD!!!

I have taught her well!

Tropico.

"In this game, I am are dictator like Fidel Castro, my task is to oppress my people and that for as long as possible.
My mom looked at me for a long time, then hesitantly said OK and left my room shaking her head.

I don't usually explain anything to my mom about younger people, but when I try to she just doesn't get it or laughs it off as being dumb.

It depends really, sometimes when i would try to explain some things to my mom she either gets:

1. Annoyed
2. Laughs it off
3. Thinks it's dumb

It´s not really explaining, but once I wrote a bunch of slang on a paper for my mommy (38) to practice. I wrote sus, but she said soos lol. I laughed at her, then she told me that ´´sus is not a word´´ I beg to differ!!!!

Mom: What’s this “meme”
Me: it’s a funny or ugly photo and text under it
Mom: oh so it’s like your school photo with your name underneath?
Me: …. Cliché mother

My son is 20. He still can't tell the time, or understand it's relevance to daily routines.
