How do you feel about your grandchildren's modern music/movies/games?

I try to keep up with what they're listening to or watching, and even have some favorites myself.

I don't always understand it, but I respect their interests and encourage them to share.

I'm usually curious and ask them to explain what makes it cool or interesting.

I appreciate the classics and sometimes introduce them to music or movies from my era.

I like to get them the latest tech gadget, popular toy, or gift cards to their favorite online stores.

I prefer to bake their favorite homemade goodies or give classic toys and books.

I often ask them what's trending or what their friends are into before buying.

Handmade gifts, family heirlooms, or practical, thoughtful items are more my style.
