The Super Bowl halftime show was viewed by over 29 million U.S. households and featured a lineup of 90s hip-hop royalty, including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and 50 Cent. Soon after the show aired, my Facebook and Twitter feeds began filling up with comments about whether the show was pure Nirvana (pardon the pun) or more akin to Nine Inch Nails (I can’t help myself) on a chalkboard. Those among the 60-plus set did not think the halftime show was groovy or the bee’s knees, whereas many Millennials were gettin’ jiggy with it and thought the show was all that and a bag of chips.
