When somethings trendy or hip you go "wow man, that's really streets ahead"

on the other hand when something is out of date you say "ew. Streets behind"

or see above example.

If they said that, I guess i'd react rather poorly, since it is both poor grammar and a bastardization of the original idiomatic phrase.

I'd say the phrase itself is at a crossroads.

"What do you mean streets ahead?"

*after explanation*

*stare*

"Moving on."

Basically.
