Heard of The All-American Rejects? If not, don't worry because only 23% of baby boomers have. Yet 74% of Millennials know the popular band. This makes sense, as the teenage rock band debuted their first album in 2003, while millennials were kids and teens themselves. This is just one example of the many pop culture references that can separate generations. It's hardly a new phenomenon, but it's an interesting one, especially if you're in one generation and your kids are in the other.

With the holidays approaching, chances are you'll be spending time with family, young and old. If you want to have some fun with your millennial family members, take a look at this list from QZ.com of the top 20 things US millennials have heard of that boomers haven't AND the top 20 things US boomers have heard of that millennials haven't. It's fun seeing if you're in the minority or majority for each reference (band, person, television show). You may feel pretty good about yourself if you know a lot of the millennial references and it could be quite fun to start name dropping some of these at holiday parties this year. Your millennial family and friends are bound to give you some respect, especially if you know a millennial reference that they don't. And don't forget to test them on the boomer references, too!

One thing that is particularly interesting is that millennials have a much wider range for knowing millennial references (85%-61%), while most boomers recognize boomer references (97%-92%). We wondered why.

Age could be a factor - boomers have simply had more years to come across and know these references.

Perhaps the sheer number of entertainers out at once has grown through the years, putting the millennials at a disadvantage because there are just so many performers.

There are also more forms of entertainment than ever before. Gone are the days when you only had a handful of television channels, the local radio stations and the newspaper to keep you entertained and up to date. With the internet and technological advances came more television channels, satellite radio, gaming, social media - all vying for the attention of millennials.

Because millennials grew up with the internet and social media, information and entertainment are always at their fingertips. You'd think this would result in millennials being more aware of the references. Perhaps this just results in information overload, making it difficult to experience it all.
