Randy Listening to tween wave
Tween wave is a fictional genre of music that the boys listen to in "You're Getting Old". The parents of the children strongly dislike it, as they hear it as flatulence (farting) and diarrhea sounds.
In the episode, Stan has a disagreement with Kyle, Kenny and Cartman due to him hearing and seeing everything as "shit" due to his struggling with cynicism. Randy begins to listen and play tween wave to keep in touch with his youth so he does not feel old. He has a disagreement with his wife, Sharon, over him being immature which causes them to split up.
