Remember the 90s?

Dad: "If you want to destroy my sweater..."

Bill: "Dad."

Dad: "...hold this thread as I walk awaaay."

Bill: "Dad.."

Dad: "Watch me unravel. I'll sooon be nakeeeed."

Bill: "Dad Dad Dad Dad."

Dad: "Lying on the floor. LYING ON THE FLOOR! I'VE COME UNDOOOOOONE!"

Bill: "DAD!!!!!"

Dad: "Yeah buddy?"

Bill: "What's your deal?"

Dad: "Just rocking out. Like ya do."

Bill: "I don't think that was rocking out. That sounds like old people music. Mom says it's because you're stuck in the 90s. Whatever that is."

Dad: "Not what. When."

Bill: "What?"

Dad: "When."

Bill: "Losing interest..."

Dad: "See, son, when people refer to time periods they usually talk about decades. And generally they use it to talk about the popular styles in fashion, food, and entertainment that were popular during that time. I spent most of my formative years, the period from teen to young adulthood, in the 90s."

Bill: "Why does mom say you are stuck there?"

Dad: "Well mom is a hater, Bill. And you know what haters do, right?"

Bill: "Haters gonna hate?"

Dad: "Exactly! It just so happens that mom is a few years younger than me and, as such, she doesn't have the appreciation of the fine art that is music in the 90s like I do. Plus she's Canadian."

Bill: "So where is she stuck?"

Dad: "Some weird limbo between the 90s and the 00s, Canada and the US. It's all Metric and Gaga up in her head. Though she does reach back to 90s dance and the occasional Gordon Lightfoot jam. You know, when she gets all Canadian."

Bill: "So you just listen to 90s music then?"

Dad: "Not necessarily. Growing up I had lots of influences that were stuck in various decades. So I do have an appreciation of Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Queen, etc. Sometimes I even jam to a Sam Roberts song from your mom's collection. And when I get really crazy... i'll do "She's just being Miley."

Bill: "That's messed up."

Dad: "I know! That's your mom's influence. One time I secretly filmed her singing along to it in the car. Shh don't tell anybody."

Bill: "So where am I stuck then?"

Dad: "Right now you're stuck in Sesame Street. But eventually, when you get older, you'll decide what you like best. Whatever is popular in the 30s I guess. Hopefully Miley isn't still around by then. Who knows what persona she'll have at that time. Like a cross between Madonna and Cher and she'll be dressed like Gaga most likely."

Bill: "What if I don't like any of the music?"

Dad: "Then make your own! Start your own band. You don't have to follow the crowd if you don't want to."

Bill: "Maybe. Can I still listen to Sesame Street for now?"

Dad: "Heck yeah. You want to rock out with me?"

Bill: "Sure!"

Dad and Bill: "La la la la! La la la la! Elmo's World! THAAAAAAAT'S ELMO'S WOOOOOOOORLD!"
