As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion.

The same for the Kendrick and Drake (the nonce) beef which has given some rabbit holes to go down.

So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?

Is it something as simple as watching trending videos on YouTube (somtheing I’ve never done) or are there people to follow etc. I don’t like Twitter though so hopefully it’s not that.

Edit: Man I got so many replies. You guys are awesome. I am going to work my way through them all today, but I’m hella tired and off to work so may take a while. I will reply to you all.

Edit part deux: God damn I think I got all the replies.

    OP here. I am late thirties to be honest.

    Anyway, there has always been influencers. What would you call Norma Jane Jeane.

        My apologies, it’s Norma Jeane Mortensen who was Marilyn Monroe.

        My nana used to always say Norma Jeane, well to me it sounded like Jane so just assumed it was common knowledge with the older generation

        I guess it doesn’t help that I misheard her lol

          OK, that name is known. Amazing when you think that she and Queen Elizabeth II are born at about the same time…

            Shut the front door. That is pretty wild to think about really.

            Shame she died so young.

            Obligatory, f to the royal family. As I Brit I can’t stand them or anything they stand for.
