In a class today I asked social science students (probably aged around 19) what their favourite protest song was. They didn't seem to understand the concept. I'd struggle to name any in the last 20 years, but hadn't realised it's no longer a thing.

Asking 'Who is the Prime Minister?' used to be good as a test of people's memory. It now seems it works better as a test of people's occupation. If they reply 'I think it's Nigel Farage' you know they work in journalism.
