The Generation Gap.

Me: "So, what kind of music are you listening to lately?"

Kyle: "Post Malone."

Me: "Who?"

Kyle: "Post Malone."

Me: "Is that a Jazz thing?"

Kyle: "A what?"

Me: "Jazz. You know, the Utah Jazz?"

Kyle: "No, it’s just regular pop music."

Me: "No, the Utah Jazz. You know, the NBA team? Basketball?"

Kyle: "Huh?"

Me: "Karl Malone, in the post?"

Kyle: "No, Post Malone is a singer."

Me: "His name is Post?"

Kyle: "Yeah..."

Me: "Does he sing about cereal?"

Kyle: "Cereal?"

Me: "Yeah, like Karl Malone eating Post cereal."

Kyle: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Me: "That makes two of us."

Kyle: "His name is Post Malone. He's a singer."

Me: "Maybe he's Karl Malone's illegitimate son who sings about cereal?"
