I felt some fear too. I was in late elementary and middle school overseas and when I came back I had a bit of culture shock. I despised a lot of popular culture as antiintellectual and uneducated and rude... some of my childhood friends werent as I remembered and we werent interested in the same things anymore (which was not a surprise, really - we'd been going back for the summers most years).
