I've heard the expression "the kids are alright" to describe one's thoughts on modern youth. Writers from the New Yorker to Australian Rolling Stone have used it. I thought the idiom was older and American. Found out it was directly from the song "The Kids Are Alright" by The Who from the album, "My Generation (1965)" Do you know any others that have entered the English language vernacular popularly. I know some people advise in life that "all you need is love" but that's a phrase I rarely come across outside from listening to the Beatles. I asked a friend this question and he said "Cash rules everything around, CREAM, get the money, dollar dollar bills, ya'll." Again, as I said to him, I have never heard that phrase outside of listening to Wu Tang.
