“What do you kids know anyway?” Sometimes we think of older people as grumpy, but I think a lot of times they’re just disconnected. Let me explain…

After the release of Kanye West’s latest track featuring The Beatles frontman Paul McCartney, his younger fans were left clueless as to who Paul McCartney even is.

Only One (feat. Paul McCartney) – Single – Kanye West

To explore the other end of the spectrum, yesterday Vice produced a featured called “Do Old People Know Who Kanye West Is?” The Editorial Assistant set out on an experiment to remind us millennials that old people don’t care any more for our music than we do theirs.

Anyway, what she found is hilariously cute. Some salt & peppered heads had absolutely no idea who he is or why they should care, some did. Get into what they know about him though:

Do you know who Kanye West is?
Richard: I do know the name. Should I be embarrassed if I say no?

No, not at all.
Richard: Then no.

Jerry? How about you?
Jerry: I don’t know any of his songs, but I know he goes out with that woman with the big butt. Kad… Kadashian?

This is the Cutest Response Because He’s Proud of Himself

Do you know who Kanye West is?
Donna: No.
Rod: I do.

Can you tell us who he is?
Rod: He’s married to one of the Kardashians, right? He’s a musician and he jumps on the stage and interrupts awards shows.

That’s right.
Rod: Pretty good for a 64-year-old, right?

Paul McCartney is clearly more important than Yeezus. …Just Don’t tell Kanye

Do you know who Kanye West is?
Shirley: Who?

Kanye West.
Shirley: No?

Do you?
Hemma: No. He sounds familiar, but I don’t know.

He’s a rapper. He just released a new song with Paul McCartney.
Hemma: Oh, Paul McCartney! Famous singer.

Isn’t it crazy how wide a generational gap can be? Do you have these discussions with your elders? What have you learned from those chats?
