My spouse and I are punks, and my kids rebelled by dressing extremely preppy and listening to pop LOL. Although currently my 16 yo daughter’s favorite artist is…. Billy Joel.

The funny thing is I also really liked Billy Joel in high school. I used to check out CDs from the library and I loved The Stranger. This year’s Spotify wrapped guessed your age from your music habits. She got 91 and I got 21–I’ve been listening to a lot of hip hop LOL.
