Breaking news mom hates her kid’s music

I’d probably want something that both shows technological advances, a variety of new genres, and still has good technicality and emotion to it. Maybe Chimera by Polyphia.

I feel your pain my mom used to judge me for getting drunk and sleeping in the hedges

Turn the table upside down. Grab a few Al Jolson records and start singing along to them - very loud. Start with “Mammy”.

🎶Everything is lovely When you start to roam; The birds are singin', the day that you stray, But later, when you are further away, Things won't seem so lovely When you're all alone; Here's what you'll keep saying When you're far from home:

Mammy, Mammy, The sun shines east, the sun shines west, I know where the sun shines best Mammy, My little mammy.🎶

Don’t be surprised if she goes into therapy or hits you with a frying pan! Just tell her you’ve seen the error of your ways.

Black Sabbath is the number one greatest metal band of all time, but Hell, I’d be upset too if my kids were listening to those other 3 bands

😂 I’m only playing, like what you like and never let anyone else make you question that.

Thank you! I’ve Been enjoying Disturbed lately. Again, I’m sorry your mom acts that way. I’m also self conscious about my music so I only wear headphones haha

it’s all just squiggles in the air

Mostly System of a Down, Linkin Park, Disturbed. Even Black Sabbath sometimes.

"Your mom threw away your best porno mag!!!"

Isn't there a law/rule in the screen guild union (or whatever) that actors can't have the same name? A number of actors have to switch or change their names up because of that. Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure there's like no choice there, it's more than just a branding thing.

If that's the case, then JB "took" the name before DJB had the chance.

DJB sounds cooler anyways.

Your parents are supposed to hate the music you like. Carry on.

If your parents hate the music you listen to, you are doing it right.

I’m sorry she makes you feel bad for liking it. Kind of off topic, but I’m getting into metal, do you have any recommendations? I’d love for you to share your love of the genre with me

It’s just music, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it. If she doesn’t like it, that’s fine, she’ll eventually move past it.

The Amulet - Circa Survive Keep your mouth shut - Anthony Green

Are you 12

By Yes - Awaken and The Gates of Delerium

By Emerson Lake and Palmer - Karn Evil 9 impressions 1,2&3 and Pirates

By Nightwish - Ghost Love Score and The Poet and the Pendulum.

Now what kid would feel great if their mom actually approved of their music choice?

Music's how you first assert your individuality. It’s a right of passage for your parents to ask “what’s that noise” *

• it’s the beastie boys

Don’t sweat it. My wife is a choral teacher and she frowns upon my taste in metal simply because she can’t fathom how people scream like that without destroying their vocal chords. I try to tell her there’s specific vocal techniques just as with any style of singing that alleviates some of the damage but she just ain’t having it.

So she really won’t tolerate my love of Dying Fetus when she’s around. Just as well - I wait till she leaves for work and blast it and thrash around the living room instead.

If she judges you again for liking metal, just confront her and ask her to stop judging you. I know what you mean with metal, some people are into quicker beats. I dislike country but I'm not gonna judge someone if they listen to country.

His musical influences include Mozart's requiem, Handel's messiah, and Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet.

Kind of egotistical to suggest your own stuff but… I listened to the first few tracks and I think you would have to give him acid first?

Did you write an album just to fuck with people that are tripping?!

Seriously though, if you haven’t run across þorkell (thorkell) sigurbjörnsson you should give it a listen. I think there are some ideas in there that you would like. It’s the first thing your music made me think of.

La Jolla Good Friday

Though Jean Michel Jarre may be more up your alley if you are wanting to be more “accessible”.

I could be way off. It’s a fool’s gambit to try and assume what an artist is thinking. You do you boo.

Different strokes for different folks.

Your mom doesn't have to like metal, or even the fact you listen to metal. But at the end of the day I wouldn't feel guilty about it. You like what you like, and if metal is what you enjoy, then go enjoy the hell out of it!

I appreciate the fact that he does what he wants to do, even presumably collabs that don't really make sense for his core music.
