It’s the same though isn’t it? While it’s not the reason why we liked the music we liked (more punk than metal for me but same difference) it was always a bonus if your parents didn’t like it. That’s exactly the reaction that kids are getting from their parents now!

Well there are two areas to explore here. The quality of the music and it’s message. And the parenting we endured. I became a metal head for both reasons. My parents music didn’t resonate with me. The over simplified music structure just bored me. There wasn’t anything epic about it. And then the message didn’t resonate when it was all happy rose gardens and unicorns. My dad was an abusive asshole. Metal gave me that angry outlet.

At least my mom understands where I come from even she doesn’t understand why I listen to what I listen to. She divorced him and shit changed. Now my son loves metal and his mom doesn’t get it.

  Yeah I hear you, those experiences would no doubt stear you to something that provided an outlet. But, and I want to acknowledge that I’m not dismissing anything you endure, ultimately rebellion is what we’re talking about and the eventual outlet is almost irrelevant.
  
  I’m glad you’re able to share music you like with you son.

    Well I think everyone rebels in one way or another. How each kid does that is up to them.
