Grabbed a to go breakfast this morning and the waitress mentioned one of the younger girls asked what she was singing and when she told her it's an Elvis song the girl had no idea who she was talking about. It struck me as funny at first but it got me thinking. How long does something stay culturally relevant before it shouldn't be shocking to no longer be common knowledge? After all, it's not like many if any non specific stations still play Elvis songs, you probably have to go to cable channels that do older movies to find him, and he's been gone for close to fifty years now.
Is it just the opposite of not recognizing current events like I had to recently look up what a Jojo Siwa is and why the name was being mentioned so much?
