Depends on their friends. I was for all intents and purposes banned from virtually all the pop-culture my friends were into as a kid, it essentially forced me to sit quiet at the lunch table and I was left out of a lot of stuff because I wasn't allowed to participate (what happens on the latest episode of X, movies, concerts, game nights, etc). It sucked. I fully intend to give my kids the tools and access they need to relate to other kids, with the understanding that I don't always get to decide what that is. I might draw the line at something particularly egregious, like an R rated movie when they're 9 or something, but if my kid and their friends want to watch Power Rangers Mega-Samurai-Viking-Cosmic-Super-Force, I'm not going to ban it because I find it mildly annoying and eye-rolly.
