This was great Eva. I’m GenX writing YA and I’ve struggled with some of these things. I’m lucky that I have three teens and it’s no problem to keep up on the trends etc., but after being around them and their friends all the time, I’ve realized so much is the same as it was when I was their age. The clothes, music and tech are different, but their approach to these things are much the same—playing vids after school, the love for going to concerts, putting together the perfect outfit. I try not to be too specific because like you said, so much will be dated by the time it gets published.
