Do your parents like the music you listen to?
Nope,they think the devil resides in it. But I listen to just as much classical music as I do rock the devil can't be in both.
In their time, they liked most of it.
My parents loved Simon and Garfunkel, and my dad was a huge Rolling Stones fanatic. They also grew up in the 50's so 50's rock and roll was in constant rotation also. I still listen to Simon and Garfunkel every now and then but that is it.
I just remember a lot of Billy Joel and Elton John on our long road trips, I hated it at the time. Now I think they're fine, I can sing along to some of Piano Man, it's a good song but I don't seek it out, and I couldn't name anything else by them.
I have been able to get my mother into some indie-rock music. Songs like: 'Young Bride' by Midlake; 'A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left' by Andrew Bird; 'Laughing With a Mouth of Blood' by St. Vincent; and some older songs like 'Sour Times' by Portishead; and 'Tender' by Blur.
Yeah, he's done some cool stuff. Hiking and paragliding in the Himalayas, living all over Europe and the Middle East, invented stuff and pioneered process innovations for major chemical companies, been on some advisory boards for state healthcare policy. But you wouldn't know it, he looks like a jolly Tamil Mario who likes his thayir-vadai and goes to bed at 8 PM haha
My mom hates music with electric guitars in it because they give her a headache. She likes Carnatic music and hip-hop because you can dance to both. They don't really care about what I listen to now. My mom would give me a disapproving look when I listened to uncensored versions of songs. She likes that I got into EDM because I can dance to it, lol. My dad used to listen to country music non-stop and so I did too until fifth grade. Now he goes through weird phases. There's been the Amy Winehouse phase, the Lady Antebellum phase, a huge Gwen Stefani/No Doubt phase, a small Black Eyed Peas/Fergie phase, and a Lady Gaga phase. I don't know why. It's amusing but it kinda sucks too because there are a lot of songs I associate with him that no one should ever associate with their father, songs like It Wasn't Me by Shaggy, Hey Mama by BEP... I love those songs but they remind me of him for gross reasons and it makes me feel gross.
My parents only listen to desi music. Some of it is super old and all the female singers have such high voices, it's really hard to listen to. I like some of the stuff, mainly instrumentals, but most of it is not my cup of tea. My dad has this one CD of nadaswaram music that me and my sister will always try to avoid.
