It's "uncool" to like a band if your parents like them.

No.

despite the music being a bit over the top, it isn't that bad

except maybe post grunge

My mum likes Donny ****ing Osmand.

So, in my case the answer to your question is yes. It's very uncool to like the type of music your parents like.

I don't find it all that uncool (I'm 17), but my problem is that my parents don't like anything decent. I wish they did like more music that I do.

well see my dad plays Bass so his taste in music is f-ing awesome. Along with listening to some of the older stuff. I turn him onto newer bands that he gets into and he'll constantly tell me about older bands that sound similar. He wanted me to learn lead guitar so we could jam together but I procrastinate too much. I have an acoustic guitar and I was teaching myself but wasn't dedicated enough.

My mother side, she loves all that cheesy 80s pop, 70s soul and gospel. Every time she is blasting Selena, I come in the room and start singing all off key to annoy her. haha

My dad has a pretty good music taste. I mean he introduced me to Neil Young and The Ramones so nah I don't really bash his tastes.

naw, if my parents like a good band, I actually have more respect for the band and my parents.

The uncoolness aspect is a very middle school idea to me.

I still love bands like Guns N Roses, Van Halen and Queen, even though everyone hates them now.

They have a sentimental childhood atachment, because of my mom and ex stepdad.

My mom is totally 80s. She likes Prince, Hall & Oates and most of all hair metal. I can't hitch a ride with her without being subjected to Def Leppard and Great White, which is quite annoying. Though one day she was blasting away Rick James, that was actually kinda awesome.

My dad is, well, a dad rocker. Very 60s and 70s, Beatles, Hendrix, Zep, KISS, Steve Miller, Journey, Skynyrd. He also has a weak spot for 70s bubblegum stuff like Bay City Rollers. And he likes just about anything Chris Cornell is involved in. He also earns points for liking Yes.

My grandma, who raised me, she likes a lot of the 50s pop and rock n roll, a lot of old country and gospel, and also motown. She's not very into post 50s rock music with the exception of CCR and Fleetwood Mac.

They have all influenced my taste in some way. Mom got me into GnR, Queen and Van Halen, Dad got me into Hendrix and Grandma got me into CCR, Fleetwood Mac and the old motown stuff.

Father - 60's soul and funk, anything and everything to do with this type of music! A devoted fan he is. (Such a shame I can't find a 12" player as he has a collection of 300+ of them laying in the cupboards.) And then some cool bands like marillion, gnr, journey, dire straits, ELP...

Mother - Janis Joplin, Joan Armortrading, other powerful female vocalists.

Not too shabby if you ask me, im not complaining, some of my favourite music I have stolen from their collection.

boo boo · 06-14-2009, 04:00 PM

Yeah my mom loves Janis Joplin too.
