* BrokenAesop: Marge tries to bring out the Aesop that "it doesn't matter if you're cool to people, you need to be true to yourself" and Homer brings up "you don't need other people to tell you that you're cool", but Bart and Lisa shoot them both down and Marge just angrily says that it's impossible to tell what the hell youth wants these days. To further drive the point home, neither of the kids actually elaborate on their own point about what it actually takes to be cool. However, the last line does imply that Homer might be on to something.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The episode is often pointed to as the first major example of the show's propensity after the classic era for stories overly focused on contemporary culture and celebrities, including references that would be outdated before the episode even came out. It's still generally judged positively by fans however, due to the writing being fairly strong and Homer's central arc of trying to relate to his kid's interests being fairly timeless.
