Annie - You and I and Greenowl are all different ages, but yet have kids about the same age.
My son is 20 and will be 21 later this year.
It was Eminem's attitude that always got to me. Like he had to look "dangerous" all the time.
I mentioned Rammstein and that band is German. Any German poster's out there familiar with them? Thank God that, for our neighbor's sakes, the words are in German, but to those of us who understand ( and my understanding is limited compared to my son's) the lyrics are more than horrible.
They make Eminem look like Donny Osmond.
At least all the Beatles wanted to do was "Hold Your Hand" and my parents thought that they were strange!
Actually, I just stopped working for (as they say on game shows) " a national income tax preparation service" and we still had a dress code, but it was far more lax than what I had worked under in my past life

As manager of an office I had to send home those who showed up in jeans or sneakers or "see through or midriff tops" Mostly it was the young receptionists who dressed that way, most of the tax preparers knew that their professional image mattered.
