Well when I was young, all my Dad listened to was The Beatles and some golden oldie radio station. So I was exposed to all different sorts of classic rock stuff. I do remember hating every minute though. I can however appreciate some Beatles music now!

My Mum loves Celine Dion and all those ladies with real loud voices lol.

Will I make my children listen to EDM? Chances are, yes. I pretty much only like EDM and not much else. I can't see that changing for a lonnnnng time too - I love the shit :P I won't care if they don't listen to it, just as long as they listen to quality in whatever genre they like. I won't stand for cheesy music tastes!

This begs an interesting question: do you think dance music has gone as far as it can it terms of being "hard"/"full on" (i.e gabber), and "strange"/avant garde (i.e IDM)?

I agree with you, my parents would never listen to half the stuff I do, simply because it's too weird and full-on for them.

However, if our current generation has already been exposed to and enjoyed stuff like psy-trance, gabber or IDM, will there be much music our children listen to that is too "out there" for us, or will we be well accustomed to it?

I'd make a comparison to movies and television with violence. 50 years ago, movies were relatively tame, but these days kids are desensitised to violence and it's no longer shocking.

I believe the past 20 years of dance music are somewhat similar, with violent themes coming into play, though our generation has become somewhat desensitised to it compared to our parents.

I'm going to be pretty clear on that besides electro house they can listen too whatever they want.

Death Metal is pretty intense, and it's been around for a long while.

As for me, I'll be listening to whatever I am listening to at that point, I won't force my hypothetical children to listen to it too.

I will, as Melly said, try and steer them away from all the gangsta bullshit.

I still enjoying ripping out Full Metal Contact by F.F. every now and then. It's like 280 BPM and has the most insane drumming ever.

In fact, I remember hearing a while back that Fear Factory held the BPM speed record for rock bands.

Dammit, I left my Digimortal album to my brother when I moved out. I should go and get it back. Interestingly enough Dino Cazares (FF's former guitarist) played guitar on Junkie XL's first album.
