    I honestly don’t mind it, as my kid and I also bond and joke over quoting homestarrunner & other online media.

    I think it’s only an issue if the kids can’t “turn it off” or have no other interests or hobbies other than doing things online.

    Plus, it’s middle school. These kids don’t really have themselves figured out yet, so constantly parroting popular memes can gain them some acceptance from their peers.
