No, I have no idea why my kids are all into Rock and Roll, Rap and Electronic music now. Damn kids these days.
I love how, almost without exception, every parent of a single-digit-age kid’s so proud that their offspring enjoys the same music that they do. Things (generally) change DRASTICALLY shortly after they reach that second digit.
You are correct.
Mine are barely in the double digits but they still retain some of their old taste.
However, I am not so sure I should be proud that my 11 and 13 year old’s first choice, when they ride shotgun, is Eminem.
Just tell them that Eminem is more popular with old white people because his melanin levels are less threatening to their old people sensibilities

Lick my pu…The teacher:
as long as its the richard cheese version
My little daughter got her own baby music, but she enjoys listening to the Temptations, Apollo Brown or Gojira with me. She knows Daddy doesn’t play her shit.
My heart was about to burst with pride when my kids asked to add Meshuggah to their playlist.
my sister used to make me put on death metal on youtube but scroll down away from the cover art because it scared her. she was like 5 😂
My son’s favorite song when he was 5 was Walk by Pantera
Apparently I had the down with the sickness “oh-WA-A-A-A” down before age 3
My kids are well aware that the Wu is not to be fucked with.
But as ODB said, “Wu-Tang is for the children”
My offspring knows more than they should about underground hiphop, punk rock, and electronic music.
My offspring knows pop punk.
Is this blink 182?
Wow. This was Drax level of obliviousness.
I was never really into the offspring I keep forgetting they exist
No kidding, that’s obviously Green Day
That is The Offspring
Oh I get it now.
When my son was three, in the back seat of the used squad car I was driving at the time, Beastie Boys would come on: “LOUDER, DADDY!”
My daughter loves rage against the machine and jazz24. However ever since I showed her the Sound of Music (1965) to introduce the topic of fascism and Nazis to her, she’s been listening to that nonstop. Its a great film with a great soundtrack though so I can’t complain too much. Still, slowly weaning her off. Maybe I should have let her watch the producers?
Maybe I should have let her watch the producers?
Nah, dive in fully and let her watch ‘downfall’.
Babies love melodic death metal
My kids have an amazingly eclectic taste in music because (I’m convinced anyways) we never did the kid music thing.
It’ll make them better adjusted. Playing music specifically for children shelters them and is going to make them alienated from their average peer.
You just also have to teach them that in school (and later professional/work contexts) they keep their words clean for the puritans that walk amongst them.
I could put on an Aerosmith record before I knew how to put my Disney VHS tapes in the VCR, of course then my older cousin brought over her Master of Puppets album and I fell in love with thrash. As she still likes to remind me, “I turned you into a metal head before you were out of diapers”. I still love the classics too BTW.
Does Babymetal count as music for the babies?
It does in my car
Shit, if my kids are into k-pop, guess what we are bumping loud af on Saturday morning while doing chores?
Black P!nk in your area
Car rides or not, we’re vibin.
My 7yo daughter is deep into Kpop and totally got me hooked when she was 5. Her first concert was Blackpink at 6, and we saw Baby Monster a few weeks back. Additionally, not Kpop, but we took her to Atarashii Gakko last fall. My daughter has better taste than I do.
I know taste is subjective, but especially kpop, as a sort of hyper commercialized and entirely artificial girl/boyband commodity mass produced by corporations doesn’t strike me as “good taste” for any age group, especially kids, who are a lot less able to see beyond the shiny plastic coated surface.
Bluey soundtrack pretty great
