He thinks grunge is "old school" and retro and his band think its really creative to do stuff like grunge versions of Lady Gaga

I take delight in revealing to him the latest new music fads he gets enthused about are just recycled versions of stuff from the past. For example he recently become enamored with "screamo" and was disappointed to find White Zombie had an almost identical style back in the early 90's. Another fad he was enthused about was a dance style called the "shuffle" which he claimed was amazing and original until I got him to watch the '80s classic Footloose which is clearly where the "shuffle" was copied from.
