yeah but what if you were not really interested in current mainstream pop culture even when you were younger? i don't listen radio crap for long time, have clue about celebrities and i have similar child as you, same goes for TV shows where i am very picky and i don't have Facebook, twitter or other social network account besides Reddit, let alone youngsters snapchat or Instagram which i find meaningless already now, not 10-15 years from now when my children will be teenagers
It’s good and important for parents and other adults in teenagers’ lives to keep current on pop culture, but even at 30 years remove I remember how cringe worthy and counter productive it was when such an adult thought that they could relate because of a few radio and tv shows that they watched. Following your child’s Instagram feed may well give a way deeper insight, maybe asking to share their playlists too
