I was surprised to have known as many of the answers to the pop culture quiz as I did. I would attribute it to having moderate interest in it myself (I read gossip columns and am devoted to gofugyourself.com) but being surrounded by kids, tweens in particular at work has helped. Many of them closely follow trends in music, TV and movies so I overhear their conversations, help them find the materials at the library and ask them to turn off the sound on the youtube videos they constantly play.
I think they get exposure from each other almost as much from TV and the radio and I by extension am exposed through them. It's a big help and probably saves me some reading. I don't anticipate picking up a Tiger Beat anytime soon, but it is important to me to know who they are talking about when they ask for the materials.
