Plus My dad was really into Motown as well and my mam was into Baroque, which at the time I thought was classical and she probably still does. Bare in mind the still love all this music. On top of that I had my grandad who was much more a fan of "Crooners" like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra (which is no doubt where my love for that has come from) and film score music, plus my uncle who was a total metal head during the 70's. Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc plus he's still as into music as he ever was, for a nearly 50 year old guy his tastes are pretty current, moreso than mine in some respects. My Auntie who was hippie, listened to Grateful Dead and The Doors in her youth, wore moo moo's and no shoes (very odd). And finally my sister who was, and still, is really into dance music, although she's pretty open minded so I've got her listening to Katantonia, Arch Enemy and Dragonforce. My main point isn't that my parents had a massive effect on the music I listen to, although my mam adores Emperor (I think it's more the symphonic side she likes, and some Opeth), but that they never put any constraints on what I listened to. Really, if your kids like music that you don't it just means that they see something in it, or get something out of it that you don't.

It's all about variety and open mindedness.

Ya, I used to blast metal in the car with my mom all the time before I could drive. She learned to appreciate a lot of it.

yea, if theyre forcefed. but if i just HAPPEN to be playing my near flawless taste around them constantly without any sort of authority or force, then i reckon they wont need to rebel. much like how i grew up.

Sorry, I think :Wreath: may have misread my post, my parents never encouraged me to listen to "extreme" metal, I was saying it one variety of music I'll encourage my kids to listen to.

oh dang... and I thought I'd finally hear about some parents that would

Some people consider me a drummer

Well, to be fair there will be some out there but considering extreme metal didn't really exist until the early 80's, then most people who were among the first generation to listen to it, who'd probably about 13 to 18, which I'd say tends to be the most important time in the development of your musical taste, would probably only being having kids in the mid to late nineties. Therefore there kids probably wouldn't really be into music just yet or are maybe just getting into it. Nonetheless most of these kids probably still wouldn't be at the age where they could hold a mature disscussion about music incorporating a wide variety of musical genres into their taste.

With me it was really the other way round, like I said, I've intoduced my mam to some extreme metal, she's not a regular listener but i'd like to think I've broadened her horizons a little.

jazz is one of the last genres i ever got into. it REALLY takes a maturity level to full appreciate it...its not really accessible, or even "catchy" in most circumstances...so its appeal to a younger audience is no mystery to me. however, its a fantastic genre with a ton of talent and material to offer anyone willing to give it an honest try. guys like miles davis, john coltrane, charles mingus and thelonious monk are perfect starting points.

Miles Davis I like, the rest I haven't really ventured as far as, but I'll make the effort.
