Do you remember when you were younger and you had to listen to you parents music, weather it be in the car or at home? I do, Johnny Farnham, Suzie Quattro and so on are my memories.

My two little girls are 11 years old and 8 years old. When we are in the car I ask the straight out, "What do you want to hear today?" Sometimes I get, "The fox" or "Shakira".

Sometimes I get, "Hard Bangin Trance". :) It makes me laugh.

I put on what i want to listen to quite often as they seems to enjoy what I play.

There favorite track that i keep getting asked for over and over again is, Parker & Klind - Generator. Of course they dont ask for Generator, but instead they say, "Can you play that song that goes Whooooot, Whooooot, at the start". We call it the whale song. :)

They love that track.

Recently I purchased Hard Kandy Vol 2 and there favorite track of it is One Eyed Jack - Snatched. But I think it's because it has the word "Fuck" in it. I dont let them listen to CuntLicker for obvious reasons.

So, am I a bad parent? Sure, we listen to Top 40 music, but we balance it out with so good hard trance or hard house, or just general hard music.
 
nah. it doesnt matter. i think that to diverisfy music is great. i like all those artists, and i suppose i like associating with people who have a wide range, from trance, drum/bass, techno, classical, 60's/70's (fuck the eighties, only good thing was bon jovi)..
but i think the thing i like about most ''dance'' music these days, is the alot of the songs (the ones with words) tell you to reach for the stars and anyone else who says you cant, they can get fucked. sorry to be crass.
 
I had no issues with listening to my parents music, and still don't... I'll quite happily bop along to Abba or the Bee Gee's... I have no shame :)
 
As long as the tracks don't have any blatent drug references or anything (which I'm sure they don't - you're not stupid) then there's no real problem. I don't think your kids running around school yelling "cocaine" at the top of their voice would go down too well with the teachers... ;)
 
Sounds like you are giving your children the opportunity to listen and learn about how diverse music can be.
Good job!
But make sure they are getting their healthy dose of breakbeat each day...
 
Its a better understanding of the culture at a young age. Easier to accept. No prob with dat.A childs mind has such an amazing ability to be open to that which is differant.

Tho I think if all the youngans were chanting the chorus for "La La Land", I'd be a bit worried. I mean it rhymes, It sounds funny. A kid wouldnt know what they were saying but It would be apealling to them on a general level purely based on the fact that its a rhyme. Scary

Hey, great to hear the young ones are being exposed to some quality dance music! I'm glad to hear they're not all listening to Top 40 commercialism... Some quality ambient stuff could be good too... might stimulate them to produce once they get older? Who knows, one of those tots in the back could be the next Sasha...

Which makes me wonder: what kind of music will the next generation listen to? I mean, will kids who are only 5-10 y.o today grow up as part of the rave/club/progressive/trance generation? or will it change radically, like the transition from disco to raves that took place from the 70's to 90's?

From what i've seen, if anything we are raising another generation of ravers. I was at a scat party recently, and the TV was playing with the sound off, and some hard house was playing in the background instead. On the TV was a telecast of The Wiggles live in concert... aside from tripping me out heaps, i was watching all these little kids dancing in the crowd staring up at the Wiggles, and all these little kids were wearing glow-sticks and bouncing around... i started to see the newspaper headlines in 20 years time: "Wiggles Found Responsible for Turning Entire Generation into E-Freaks".... But seriously, when the young kids today get older, and are at the clubbing age, i can see MDMA etc becoming extremely popular as our whole culture seems to be pushing the whole: "feel good, do what you want, don't have a care," type message...

i can see them now... an army of candy-ravers with glowing dummies and Dorothy costumes... Raving in the year 2020 will be fun!

PLUR :)
 
all my 8 yr old son and i listen to is psytrance (and lately a bit of happy hard) we were actually listening to the radio for the 1st time in ages (jjj) for about half an hour and he came out of his room and said"mum can we put psy back on? ....this is boring"

i had the biggest proud grin on my face all night =D

His favepsy track is "i'm on mars" by gms.

His favorite happyhard track is "come into my dream" he says it's "beautiful" :)

i say YAY to son not liking commercial top 40 and saying it's boring :p
 
if i ever have kids, they will be encouraged to listen to anything and everything, except for top forty. classical music will probably be the main thing (good for stimulating a growing brain), but i just want to encourage eclectic taste more than anything else.

my main musical memories (ooh, four Ms) growing up are of john farnham and michael jackson, both of whom i still like...i remember a bit of the beatles being played too, but not quite as much.
 
hehe dont you mean Artist formally known as Prince was tasteful?
:D

What a pathetic bump shoelace! You suck
I know Iknow..

-Peace
 
^^^^

Naw, I'm pretty sure he's gone full circle back to Prince again now....and the only reason he changed his name was to stick it his record company anyways....

And maybe Prince wasn't necessarily tasteful, but definitely produced some classics in his time...."Little Red Corvette", "1999", "Purple Rain", "When the Doves Cry", etc....

daniel johns is girly cause he's trying to be the stereotypical psuedo-intellectual rock star. maybe if he stopped being so pretentious and self-indulgent he could go back to writing good songs and not these cocaine-fueled rock-opus shite that was present on diorama. there's a fine line between good music (neon ballroom) and shite (diorama). johns has crossed it.

oh daniel its so very hard being a mega famous mega rich rock star isnt it?

having said that, i'm prepared to cut him some slack. as if he had any other choice than to be a drug-fucked tryhard muso when you become an international celebrity at the age of 15....
