I think it is a shame that there is nothing like TOTP or pop magazines that can be seen around the house and anyone can look at anymore, because it all means generational cultures are shifting further apart.
Even if it meant Dad coming in and going 'What's this rubbish?' or 'What do those idiots think they look like?!', the fact was progs like TOTP and magazines meant parents had an obvious window on what kids were into, it was kind of a shared cultural space. Whereas now we're all living in separate worlds on separate screens, with media channels that are geared to our specific demographic, and as a parent it's much harder to have an idea what your kids and young people in general are into, because you won't even know necessarily where they are consuming their media.
NB, it's still absolutely kids' right to like whatever they like, but it seems a bit sad to me that their world is becoming so separate.
