Not everyone has parents that get today's hip, contemporary jokes, especially if you've got a huge age gap between you and your parents. But with time, this assessment sounds more like stereotype, and it is not hard to explain: more and more parents discover the world of the Internet, surfing and hanging out on social media services (and not just in order to keep track of their kids and looking if there are bad habits involved). Discovering new trends and jokes is a lot easier right now, if you have a laptop and free time.
