Our parents and the new punk

[kvkvg Profile]

this was somthing ive been thinking about, when the punk movment broke out all those years ago. parents would argue to their kids that it wasn't even music, just a noise. i think Jazz went though a simler problem in the 20's/30's as did rock n roll in the 50's. and i my opinion, that is the way it should be.

my mum wasn't a punk. she likes the beatles, al green, radiohead and...david cassady. i was expecting the colour to drain from her face when i first played her venetian snares, but she described it as very 'intersting and clever'. she would prefer some melody, but thought its ok.

it was a much better reaction than the time i played her slayer. i was disapointed. so i played my step-grandmother some. she is an fundamentalist, homophobic, twat. she cried and has now decided that im in league with lucifer. which is more like it! but i was wondering if we have lost the power to shock older generations with music?

what has happened when you have played your parents your music? any worthwhile reactions?

They get all crazy, but i don't care i turn it harder, then i leave the house.

No, my mom actually likes some of it, but if she hears it to long, she gets all paranoia, but hey, moving out soon, so really don't care.

i have played breakcore and minimal techno to my grandmother and she thought also that it is interesting music, she didn't even care about melody.....my mother gets pretty nervous when she hears breakcore but she liked psytrance

i received this email from my dad a few days ago...

Hi, I just wanted to tell you how much I like the C.D you made for me. I've been listening to it for the last couple days and hits a spot that other music seems to be lacking. I don't like much new music but I like yours. Keep it up.
Love DAD
PS, send more when you can.

What was on the CD?

[PEPCORE]

Lol, wish my parents were that way.
Wasn't jumpstyle was it fap*

I tried playing some breakcore to my family on holiday... Cardopusher i think it was. It lasted about 4 seconds before my cousin turned it off and put on some Jack Johnson instead. I fear for my families ears i really do.

it was a bunch of the slower fap* stuff i had worked on over the past few months and a few crazy tracks squeezed in. honestly when i was making it, i was thinking to myself...'he is not gonna going to like this one!'

I'm having a go at getting my dad into breakcore. He's always interested in what I am listening to, as I am with him and we both leach of each other for musical inspiration. Not having much luck so far but I reckon if I start with some lighter IDM stuff first, Chris Clark maybe.

Even if he doesn't like it, he still respects it. He likes the idea of it, the DIY aspect, the communal spirit, the spontaneity. It is the new punk.

yeah, i reckon Bjork's homogenic album is a good introduction as well, at least they have her vocals to cling to when it starts to go wierd.

big-up to all our parents! one day they can all look in the mirror and say to themselvs "our children fucked up everything"

Do any of you know of the noise-hop dude Holzkopf from Edmonton/Saskatoon, in Canada? His dad goes to his gigs. I've never seen that before. A father digging his sons' noise shows. That's support.

I haven't succumbed my mother to listening to the recent stuff i'm into, but i recall an incident... my brother and I were watching a Skinny Puppy live video years back. Ogre all bloody and slimey, classic Puppy gore and growls. She was a bit taken aback when she realised what we were watching. I'd say she was a bit alarmed.

A friend of mine, he goes with his pareents occasionally to, Hardcore, terror.

They take drugs with him too

Very weird, i remember we left from a party, and we went to house, his parents were up, and we spended the whole day doing drugs.
Was funny.

nah i think becasue the parents we have now were in same generation as the punk etc took off they remember what folk of their generation went through when they were growin up. grannys/grandas same with jazz etc i supose....

but what i was thinking about the other day after watching that notesonbreakcore doc again, was that even tho its nothing like punk music itself, breakcore is indeed most like punk in every other way. (i was stoned at same time, but cannabis lets you understand these things better- like homer in simpsons movie with his "epihany" )

My dad was a punk in the 80s, and he really likes Ministry and The Butthole Surfers and Portishead, but I've never tried showing him anything near breakcore, I have always wondered what he would think of it. He never makes a weird face when I'm listening to it inmy room when he comes up to talk to me
