I try to rage against the dying of the light, with limited success.

When my daughter went into a classroom (middle school I believe is the US term) that was not her own, a surprised teacher asked "Who are you?" She immediately responded with "I'm the new number two, you are number six"

The teacher did not get the reference, but I won parenting that day.

Whatever age range you have to be in to remember the most viral videos from 2012, some measurable percentage of HN's readership probably aren't in it.
