The painful truth is that your baby will grow up to be cooler than you. It’s inevitable. The reality will probably dawn on you like this: One afternoon in the year 2020, you will be getting crunk in the living room to your favorite CD of the Notorious B.I.G, or maybe you will be rocking out to Bright Eyes. You will be under the impression that you are awesome.
However, it will be at moments like this that your teenager, desperately embarrassed by your very existence, will be praying fervently that you will be called away on some sort of extended business trip that will miraculously, mercifully, last until his freshman year of college.
Studies have proven that this will happen. There’s just no way around it. The only thing you can do to get a few cool points later on is to play this CD of punk rock baby lullabies. Who knows, you might even like the lullaby version of White Riot.
Punkrockbaby.com also offers a Hip-Hop Baby CD, for the more urban parent.

Of course, there’s always the risk that your little one will break into a rendition of White Lines or P.I.M.P at the supermarket. That one’s gonna be hard to explain.
