It's a common trope that each generation hates the music of the generation that proceeds it.

Our grandparents hated our parents music, our parents hated ours, and most of us probably can't stand what music sounds like today.


It's the circle of life.

Well a new study set out to determine how truthful that trope actually is, and the results show…it's pretty accurate.

The study, conducted by OnePoll and Kahoot, found that 47% of parents surveyed genuinely can not stand their kids' music.

However, it appears that at least an effort should be made because 63% of adults with kids ages 3 to 12 and found that their offspring get excited when their parents take an interest in or show knowledge about something they like.

While there is definitely a pop culture gap between generations, 61% of parents said they are willing to learn more about their kids' hobbies or interests.

Sean D'Arcy, vice president of Kahoot! at Home and School, said per The New York Post, "It can be challenging to find things to enjoy for the entire family, especially for parents with kids of various ages, who often have different interests and hobbies.

"Game-based learning is a great way for parents and kids to learn something new together while spending quality time as a family."
