It's true. I honestly think it is because when we were growing up we had limited avenues in which to gain pop culture knowledge. There was no internet, no social media, no streaming music/movies, and like 3 tv channels. So we were kinda forced to pull in information from various other sources...many of which belonged to our parents (their music, their tv shows, etc.) Now kids have sources that are tailor-made to meet their specific tastes and preferences. For years now they have had their own TV stations, streaming platforms, social media feeds, etc that are made specifically for them. So if they don't want to be exposed to anything outside of the Disney channel, Nickelodeon, customized music feeds, customized social media feeds....they don't have to. It's actually kinda sad. Had I had my own dedicated TV channel growing up I may have never known who Gilligan, Col. Hogan, Alfalfa, Marcia Brady, Samantha Stevens, Jeannie, Herman Munster, or Andy Griffith were.
