Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Have you ever had your parents take away your music or heavily criticize you for listening to it? If so, what exactly was their reasoning for doing so?

My mom is pretty cool, she keeps an open mind and often finds herself enjoying a lot of the music I play, even the more experimental stuff. And although my dad isn't quite so keen on some of my more modern music (especially anything that could be considered "lo-fi"), there is some crossover in our tastes, bands like Talking Heads and The Velvet Underground.

So I would say that I'm almost always able to find something that everyone will enjoy. Otherwise, I use the speakers in my room or my headphones.

Everyone likes Bob Marley and CCR. Everyone.

Once my mom broke several of my CDs because she found one of her religious CDs broken and blamed it on me. The ones she broke were Minor Threat's full discography, Collection II by the Misfits and one more which I can't remember... I didn't even break her CD....

Yeah, when I was like 8. I don't even remember what it was. Nowadays I don't even listen to music at all, though.

My mother used to question me about my music because she is a Superchristian and I listened to a lot of really dark and heavy stuff back in the day. Never really punished me for it or anything, just asked me questions to make me think about it. I know she would have rather had me not listen to it at all, but she was extremely lenient.

No, but if that's happening to you then hide your music or only listen to it when they're not around or something.

I listen to shit my parents don't even listen to anymore. So no. Ha

they never took my music away, but they did subject me to shit like enya, deep forest and enigma

a far greater crime

There's been a couple conflicts concerning profane language but she got over it.

Nope, my dad is the one suggesting music for me, mom does't really care.

My dad actually gave me 2 Black Sabbath tickets for my birthday, hoping he could come along.

They find it odd that I don't like many songs with singing in it.

Because they listen to things like Muse (good band) and Arctic Monkeys (good band) and other bands that I don't know the names of.

Never. Why would they do that?

I absolutely fucking detest Bob Marley. The world would be a much better place if all his music and things even remotely related to him would burn to cinders.

Name 4 of his songs without Google.

I've rarely felt inclined to share the music i'm into with my parents; mostly because I like the music they like a good deal.

For a good portion of the music I listen to, it came from my parents. All the new wave, post-punk, and synthpop stuff I listen to I got from being around my parents listening to it.

Although they particularly agree on liking other forms of music I listen to, they aren't explicitly against it. It just isn't their thing, and that's fine.
