what music would you not let your dc listen to?

[neroforte]

inspired by a family member telling me she doesn't think i should listen to the music i do (mostly metal/rock) around my son! is there any genre/artist/song you wouldn't let your dc listen to?

Any with swearing

@aroundtheworldin80moves how old are they? do you think this would change when they're a bit older?

No. No music is banned in my house.

I let dd listen to whayever she wants but i do highlight sexist , violent lyrics etc. I wouldn't be happy if she listened to Stan by eminem for example but i used to listen to it as a troubled young woman and am a non violent pacifist.

No. No music is banned in my house.

this is my approach too.

Mainly the sweary stuff which I guess is rap/drill etc.
But I also don't like it, not my cup of tea.

I think when they get to a certain age banning music is a bit daft....play your metal with pride. ...i mean where do you draw the line? It's art.

Don’t ban music at home

Talk about the lyrics, meaning etc and choice of language

I think I am strict with this 🙈 my DD8 is restricted hugely on way music she can listen to. Mainly is allowed
Things like
Kids pop/ jojo / movie songs like high school musical / Disney songs

Not banned as such but I don't play it

None.

I don't care about swearing.

If there was racist/sexist/homophobic language in the music (very unlikely given my dd's views ), then I would have a conversation about it with my dd, and talk to her about why it wasn't appropriate. I wouldn't ban it though - I have no real means of enforcing such a ban tbh.

I like old metal and have been known to enjoy Iron Maiden and stuff from that era

I’m more likely to ban Disney pop etc tbh!

My kids love Cardi B. They know not to repeat the swear words when they sing along.

Anything that normalises racist terms

I’d rather they weren’t singing along with swear words when primary school aged, and were aware of misogyny in some rap, hip-hop etc. But I can’t imagine banning anything, and given the availability of music outside the home it would be a ridiculous thing to try and police anyway.

i should add that my ds is still a small baby, so doesn't even know what they're saying! i still plan to listen to it once he begins to understand the lyrics and secretly hope he becomes a mini metalhead like me and his dad

Surely depends on she, I wouldn't play my two year old drill/some rap for example because of the language but also the level of misogyny.. Teenagers it's different you can have those conversations.

having brought my children up on Rock/ metal I almost cried when DD announced her favourite group was One Dire-ction! I don't believe in banning music, but wish could have banned that!

The only song that I don’t play around my daughter is WAP. I love the song, just not ready to have a conversation about what a wet ass pussy is yet with a 6 year old

No other music is banned though. We’re massive metal heads.

I turned off a rap song that mentioned something about a girl being a virgin and then how they couldn't wait to get her on a mattress.

Anything that annoys me.

In front of my then 7 year old.

I think if my very white kids were singing along to stuff filled with racial slurs I'd probably be having a word with them about the implications of that.

i think i'd be crying too if this happens with ds!
