Carlos: Belinda, maybe you can explain it to me. My parents still don’t get me. I got a couple oftattoos and they freaked out .
Belinda: Why are you asking me? I may be a few years older than you are, but I don’tunderstand parents any better than you do. They’re hopelessly behind the times .
Carlos: I don’t really expect them to keep up with what’s going on right now or to know anything about what’s in and what’s out , but I thought they’d understand if I wanted toexpress myself . They were hippies in their day.
Belinda: Yeah, but being a hippie isn’t the same thing as being a hipster . Most of them just don’t keep up with pop culture . You know, now that I think about it, I’m not sure that’s such a bad thing.
Carlos: What do you mean?
Belinda: Can you imagine going to the same clubs as your parents, or you and your parents reading the same blogs ?
Carlos: Oh, that would really suck . Okay, you’ve made your point . Things could be a lot worse .
