hmm..pero papayagan nyo ba na magbanda ang anak nyo
at tumugtog ng mga kanta na parang di mo talaga mai digest kahit anong
gawin mo?..
for example..makita mo nalang isang araw tumutugtog na ng EMO
ang anak mo..kasama yung mga kabanda nya na ganun din?..
pipigilan mo ba sya?..
or kung galing ka sa isang pamilya na mostly classical ang pinakikinggan
then magugulat ka nalang sa kwarto nya nagpapatugtug na sya
ng slayer or mudvayne...anu magiging reaction nyo?..
na curious lang..haha
If I reacted negatively to that, then I'd be a hypocrite.
My dad was into surf music and instrumental stuff (Shadows, etc.), Beatles, and all that RJ-esque stuff. My mom was into the early psychedelia and older music, strangely enough. My Lolo loved playing standards on the piano, and my Lola had a passion for the old classics (late '20's to 40's). My older sister is a classic new-waver, and my younger sister is into hip-hop, metal and earlier emo - in fact, she's already recorded songs under the name of Lil Miao. I'm more into classic rock, new wave, funk and a bit of metal.
We always had at least two kinds of musical instruments in the house, and at least four different radios (and eras, ahahah) in the house.
My dad, while he annoys me with his perpetual attempts to make me go into a showband, since in his mind it is the best way, money- and fame-wise, is impressed with my band's sound, since he can hear the classical overtones of metal. He just can't get a handle on the screaming - but then, he has a hard time handling, rap, too. But he never, ever says anything really bad. He still remembers when his own dad would get pissed at him being in a band, I bet.
So there. Hating your kid for doing emo or metal is the same as your dad hating you for liking rock music in general. If you give in to that, then you're just perpetuating the cycle.
ehehehhe.
