How do you honestly feel about your dc's music? - Page 2

Dd (more a tween than teen) listens to Pop and all the girlie stuff. I don't much care for it, but try to listen to it with her.

Ds started playing guitar at age 7 and was heavily influenced by his teacher. He does like modern rock like Green Day, Blink 182, Sum 41, but his love is classic rock and old English punk. I really love listening to it with him though I was more Goth/Punk, the old rock is enjoyable to me (and somehow I know all the words and who wrote what). We have a ball together listening to music.

I really am trying to like dd's music more because I know it's important to her.

I love Joe Satriani!
And my friends in HS & college could never understand my deep obsession with Pink Floyd.

Every single person in this house is a Queen fanatic. Even the little kids know the words to every Queen song out there! We LOVE Queen!

DS and I listen to the same stuff...currently lots of Slipknot, Soil, SOAD, White Zombie, Disturbed, KoRn...he recently turned me on to a metal band who's name I forget with a female lead singer, she is awesome and everything I wanted to be when I was a guitar playing, garage band teen!

I bought DS tickets to see Rob Zombie/Ozzy for Xmas. It will be his first concert. When I was around his age, I got to see Led Zep in NYC, it's a great age to go see a show

DS and I like the same kind of music for the most part, alternative and hard rock. I have a good laugh when some old hard rock or heavy metal song comes on the radio and I start to sing it and he's shocked I know it. I listened to that stuff long before he was ever conceived. LOL He does listen to some stuff that's too hard core for me but I still try to listen to it when he wants to share. He went through a teenybop phase from about 9-12 or so listening to Back Street Boys and such. I didn't like that but, again, listened with him.

Actually I like what my son listens to, he is into underground rap which I have no problems with since I came of age listening to stuff like Public Enemy. He also likes some jazz which I love in fact I am a big Coltrane fan but ds is into Thelonius Monk.. no problems with his music. In fact its not uncommon for me to listen to his stuff and then buy some of it for myself.

This sure has been an eye-opening experience for me. I think my initial uneducated first impression must have come from "Kim", which I certainly don't want my unborn to have to listen to, but since ds's father is/was a crack addict I can't say that I find the lyrics particularly shocking since I have experienced all of the feelings he is describing and then some; after all, we trusted those people with our KIDS.

I don't really want ds listening to that particular song either, but I just gave him a bit of a warning and told him to please use headphones and google a bit about the man's life so he would understand the context.

"Lose Yourself" was another one we love and I can't help but laughing at "Slim Shady", which I consider fine around a foetus but probably not to be played in the presence of a toddler who might take it literally.

ds and I are having so much fun with the new iPod he talked exy into getting him for Christmas, even though I AM remembering why I initially banned iPods (but not MP3 players) and am looking forward to trying to hack into it with my Linux machine.

I believe it. My boy went straight from Mozart to Fallout Boy and he still rummages through my Beethoven folder while I rummage through his Eminem.

Dd's fave band is Fall Out Boy! She saw them last summer, and she has a guitar pick signed by Pete Wentz. (The sexy bass player lol)

some I like and some I don't. I don't expect my kids to like all my music and they don't expect me to like all of theirs.

We like a lot of the same music. He likes the older stuff I listen to and I like the newer stuff he listens to.

My daughter is into anime music. Some of it is almost like opera, which I don't mind, but most of it makes me want to scrape my fingernails down a chalkboard to drown it out.

My two boys are listening to a lot of rock I used to when I was their age
