One thing about 10x13

Not sure who this was more offensive towards, these kids or gen-xers.

Better to consider it the ep in which Dean was British and Sam had a sparkly pink laptop.

I hate "oh, teens are so stupid/shallow/television teens", you know? I definitely hear you there. The giggly dorm-talk and the selfie scenes made me uncomfortable, too, and seemed so trite. And I guess I hadn't thought of them being age-specific jokes. Like I said, my age and my technological literacy do not match, so I heard them more as jokes about the latter than jokes about the generation gap. Thinking back over the episode, though, you're right. And I absolutely, absolutely agree that age has nothing to do with relevance, and that generational stereotypes are beyond annoying.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, and I hope it was obvious that my question was honest not troll-y. I can be dense sometimes. :)
