I'm not really sure right now, I need to give it some thought.

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery We had music playing at our home all the time and it most definitely affected my musical tastes. I inherited the love for classic rock from my dad and he even introduced me to EDM via Kraftwerk, Art Of Noise, Yello and others like that. It worked the other way too - he sometimes borrowed my Prodigy albums etc. Still, I listen to a lot of stuff my parents would never ever listen to so I don't think you can completely influence your kid's tastes...

Big +1 to this... I grew up hearing my dad play stuff like Kraftwerk, Art of Noise, Tangerine Dream, Patrick O'Hearn, Pink Floyd, and other "out there" electronic sounds. I didn't appreciate it all that much back then, but now, I definitely see where I seek out these kind of sounds all the time and how it got me to where I'm at now musically. (Well, combined with the fact that my dad had an affinity for recording Commodore 64 SID songs to cassettes.) However, I also managed to start listening to hardcore, rap, etc. throughout my teenage years per outside influence.

Oh, and as far as Fear Factory albums... "Obsolete" ftw

Originally posted by Beat Blog 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?

Perhaps noise music will become popular.

That's about as far as you can go when it comes to "intuitively repellent to many people."

I went through my "metal" phase from about 13 - 16 or so.

After that I started listening to a lot of '80s music (including Madonna!) and electronic stuff.

I already passed on my DJM-300 and cdj 100s to my 8 yr old son. He can't mix or anything but he loves playing with the EFX and knows how the faders,eq works.Although at this time hes more into rock,i guess his way to rebel against parents who listen to alot of techno

bitch I didn't have music from parents I figured out what I liked and no one in my family even listens to trance.

My parents both love music, and I was exposed to music all the time when I was a kid. Actually my dad was a big influence and it's thanks to him that I listened to bands and artists like Santana (early works), Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles (I remember rocking to 'Back in the USSR' on vinyl when I was about 8 ), Boston, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Journey, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many more.

I don't think I was influenced very much at all by my parents. It was all REM, the Cranberries, Beautiful South and Black when I was a kid. My Dad did enjoy his prog rock (as all Dads must) but he never played it in front of me.

So I don't think my kids will be particularly influenced by what I listen to either. Not that I won't try.

My parents had different tastes themselves. My dad, who studied in Louisiana, was a huge fan of groups like The Beatles and Abba and Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones, while my mom was and is a total Bollywood nutcase, also dividing her time between good ghazals and some other pop music. I have always had an interest in Hindi music, be it Bollywood, ghazals or really old stuff, but I have never been into what my dad listened to, so I guess you can't really say for sure how you'll be influenced and by whom.
