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.

    This is a weird take. It’s creepy to want to keep up to date with current trends.

    Kendrick Lamar is a certified beast and my life is better having found his music than not.

    Anyway, what does it say about a person if they don’t want to continually learn, grow, and move out of their comfort zone.

    I hope you’re not projecting.

      🚩 asking Internet for help to keep up with the young crowd and you say others are projecting. Old creep your comment is projecting 😂
