It's strange how us older ex-metalheads are the first different generation music wise
Our parents were horrified by our taste in music. Their parents were horrified by their taste in music, their parents were horrified by their taste in music
We're the first generation that listens to our kids' music and goes
It's the same though isn't it? While it's not the reason why we liked the music we liked (more punk than metal for me but same difference) it was always a bonus if your parents didn't like it. That's exactly the reaction that kids are getting from their parents now!
It is! But I'm glad you understand what I meant!
Oh I totally did
Well there are two areas to explore here. The quality of the music and it's message. And the parenting we endured. I became a metal head for both reasons. My parents music didn't resonate with me. The over simplified music structure just bored me. There wasn't anything epic about it. And then the message didn't resonate when it was all happy rose gardens and unicorns. My dad was an abusive asshole. Metal gave me that angry outlet.
At least my mom understands where I come from even she doesn't understand why I listen to what I listen to. She divorced him and shit changed. Now my son loves metal and his mom doesn't get it.
Yeah I hear you, those experiences would no doubt stear you to something that provided an outlet. But, and I want to acknowledge that I'm not dismissing anything you endure, ultimately rebellion is what we're talking about and the eventual outlet is almost irrelevant.
I'm glad you're able to share music you like with you son.
Well I think everyone rebels in one way or another. How each kid does that is up to them.
My mom likes metal now π€·
Same with mine. She's the reason I love Rammstein. We share music with each other a lot, it's awesome. My dads more old fashioned and likes classic rock but he'll tolerate me and my brother playing our favourite metal songs for him at least!
Yeah my father was not having in when I was a teen but thankfully they never tried to get me to listen to something else, it was fine as long as it was in my room lol.
I got my mom who turns 70 this year into Dog Fashion Disco. She loves it.
I wasn't super into metal when I was a kid, I was more into funk and blues. But then my son decided to put on some garbage than he calls funk music. I was disgusted and promptly changed the song to sam and Dave.
Thatβs a testament to the tolerance of millennials. We are more open minded and will at least listen to what our kids have to say.
I'm really into new metal bands though, because they are constantly releasing stuff. There are bands out there like Black Breath that will still melt your face off, but I really like the more experimental side of metal, with bands like Abstract Void, Unreqvited, and Botanist all pushing the envelope of what metal is.
