The Kids Are Alright 

The phrase originally comes from the song "The Kids Are Alright" written by Pete Townshend as part of the English rock band The Who in 1965. While it is not clear that Pete Townshend or The Who intended for this expression to have any profound meaning within the context of their own song, the phrase has been referenced numerous times across all forms of media, usually with the meaning or connotation that "the young generation are doing okay and are going to be just fine".

The phrase, as originally coined by The Who, has been referenced in songs by the Offspring, Fall Out Boy, Bad Religion, Urge Overkill, Lagwagon, Local H, AWOLNATION, The Parlor Mob, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Chloe x Halle, and more. The title of the song was also used as the title of a film and is referenced in the titles of numerous television episodes (e.g. That 70's Show, Supernatural, Ballers, and The Simpsons). It was also used in the Final Fantasy VII novel The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story, the novel having various references to The Who. It is also frequently used in various political headlines and discussions about issues affecting the younger generations.
Adult 1: "I found out yesterday that my kids have never heard of The Who. They thought the expression 'the kids are alright' was invented by someone named Chloe x Halle."

Adult 2: "I'm dying. The words you speak are killing me deep in my heart."

Adult 1: "But then they asked if I would buy them a Led Zeppelin t-shirt."

Adult 2: "Ya know.... maybe the kids are alright."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
