Attempting to connect with a younger generation can be confusing, daunting and just depressing.

Luckily Reddit is here to remind the elder Millennial and beyond "what's the bees knees?"

In an r/AskReddit thread, one user asked the teens who use the site the age-old question that truly shows your age, "What's cool nowadays?"

Though the site's anonymity provides no insight on the demographics or regions of those who answered, users happily chimed in between Reddit's usual bouts of sarcasm and trolling.

It turns out, teens' view on what's "cool" is fairly simple. In fact, most of the things teens like are not that different from the rest of us during those awkward years, and even today.

One thing's for sure: Snapchat is undeniably the coolest kid on this generation's block.

We've rounded up the 10 most popular answers, so you can be a cool dad too.
