to be irritated by son's constant rap/grime music

[NotLikingIt]

He's 15. Been mad about it since he was about 10. Its on nearly all the time, even when he's doing homework. I have made him keep it low in terms of volume, but it seeps through our small flat sometimes, this dirgy, negative monotonous beat, plus the whingey, angry lyrics, the swearing and generalised, for want of a better word, hatred. I've always loved all kinds of music but this is all my son listens to, which I think is sad, it seems to me all so angry and down on life

Can anyone shed any light on this? AIBU?

That thread about the lady playing her friends baby White Zombie got me thinking. Will my 6 month old son be refering to our fav metal bands as 'Dad rock' the same as I talk about my dads music? :D

I count my lucky stars that my kids only listen to music with earphones/headphones. They all have artists and genres that they prefer so I'd quickly get sick of their music if I could hear it.

My brother, when he was a teen, listened to so much Eminem and practically forced it on everyone else that it kind of grew on my mum and she bought the tape to play in the car. It wasn't quite so appealing to my brother when he heard by 50 something mum rapping along to it

My boyfriends mum is around 40 she asked for a stormzy cd for her birthday. I was embarrassed on his behalf

Oh dear OP you appear to have turned into your parents!
