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
If your kids aren’t shouting “Oi, oi, oi, oi” to AC/DC’s TNT, are you even a real father?
When my niece was born, she fell asleep to Slayer in the car. Now she’s 6 and know the Goreillaz catalogue better than I do, competes in Highland dancing, and is learning drums and violin.
Yes, Raffi made some fuckin bangers. Have you heard bananaphone?
Kids in college, but Bananaphone still gets referenced semi-regularly in my household.
Honorable mention to Baby Beluga and Joshua Giraffe as well.
Raffi helped make this during COVID: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-tQjeT5bD6k

Lick my pu…The teacher:
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?

Nah, dive in fully and let her watch ‘downfall’.
Do people actually play kids music to kids? I thought that stuff was exclusively used for background noise in YouTube kids Elsa impregnation videos.
My 7 year old was in a car pool to go to an after school activity. Each girl got to pick a song and apparently all but once picked a kids song. My daughter asked if they could play Green Day.
Yes. I’d rather my kids sing the abc’s rather than about bitches or their pussy and ass crack. Very little ‘adult’ music doesn’t have seriously adult overtones. Maybe 80’s rock with coke and pedophilia. Nah
Very little
I think that depends quite a bit on what you listen to.
Give me some 80 rock bands that don’t talk about doing drugs or teenagers.
Lol that’s what I thought. You got nothing but down votes cause you know I’m right. Denial is a hell of a drug.

I down voted and didn’t bother replying because your comment was too plainly stupid to merit followup, you absolute tool. Not only are there plenty of great songs from the 80s that aren’t about sex and drugs, but you also just proved my point by picking a specific sub genre and acting like it represents all of music.
Not every song is going to be a winner. But generally speaking:
- Heart
- Led Zeppelin (this one is more 70’s than 80’s, but I think my point stands)
- Huey Lewis and the News
- Bon Jovi
- Hall & Oates
- Journey
Just to name a few, all have plenty of songs without sex, drugs or violence.
If you sit down and listen to every album straight through, sure, you’ll probably find a song that talks about sex. Because humans have been singing about sex for as long as we’ve known how to sing. It’s not forbidden knowledge for teenagers, they’re allowed to know that it exists. Some genres go overboard with it - a lot of modern rap, for instance - but you’re essentially arguing that an entire decade’s worth of a genre of music is just all trash that only talks about sex and drugs. That’s just silly, and definitively untrue.
One of my aunts played Christian kids music until my cousins were like 16 and everyone was expected to sing along
Somehow, that’s actually much better. It looped back around from silly to amazing
My parents played fucking Shlock Rock cassettes in the car when we were kids.
Can you imagine my shock when I find out that Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping” doesn’t start with “We’ll be praying… in the morning… in the evening…”
I’ve never heard anything about schlock rock. What a bizarre concept. I fully believed that you were messing with me until I heard “M-m-m-m-m-m-my menorah” to the tune of “my Sharona”
I’m glad I was able to enrich your day just a little bit.
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.
My kids are well aware that the Wu is not to be fucked with.
But as ODB said, “Wu-Tang is for the children”
Babies love melodic death metal
I could put on an Aerosmith record before I knew how to leave and 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.
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.
This raises kids with cool music tastes. My 14yo might be a bigger fan of 2000s indie rock than I am, and I was, y’know, both a fan of and the target demographic of that music when it was being made.
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 😂
I had kid music in my car, while they were in booster seats. But as soon as the boosters went away, so did the kid music. Now my flesh listens to everything I listen to, and more.
Does Babymetal count as music for the babies?
