Beth Bishop asked Chuck Wendig:

Hi, Chuck! When I have a work set in this world, I struggle w/ how much pop culture (music, social/political topics, clothing, hair styles, phones) to include. I try to keep my primary audience in mind, but I don't want readers outside that audience to feel like old geezers or like I'm an old geezer. When I don't include anything of that sort, the world doesn't feel as fleshed out as it should. Any advice?

Chuck Wendig If it fits, use it. Particularly if your story is at all an artifact of its time.
