DS14’s disgusting music taste

Last night, I heard familiar and awful from DS14’s bedroom. I ran in and asked him what he was listening to. He just said that he was listening to Jack Harlow, which he usually listens to. I decided to check his Spotify earlier today in curiosity and I was right to be suspicious. NIK KERSHAW!!!! he knows how much I hate the man and how much his ‘music’ repulses me. DS14 has never showed any signs of bad music taste before, or at least not anything so repulsive. Also Midge Ure was there.

You are being very unreasonable. Your DS has excellent taste in music. Tell him he might also like Howard Jones. 😂

I god I thought you were going to say he was listening to Ed Sheeran.

You got it easy. You don't know when you got it good.

See what you did there BearSmile

My DS listens to that awful mumble rap stuff, I can't even be concerned that he's listening to anything overly grim because the style of the shit is such that you can't make out a word any of them are saying

That'd be cause to remove Spotify for sure 😂

I'd be happy my kid had such eclectic tastes, nothing worse than a music snob

golddustwomen · 17/11/2022 21:55

@DrHildegardeLanstrom fucking brilliant Grin

Count yourself lucky. My DD listens to Lizzo 🙄

My middle one loved and still loves Big Country and Tears for Fears, she's 29
We quite often duet together in the car

I wish my daughters had such eclectic music taste. Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes, @vvmax? Even if it was for just one day.

Who?

BlueThursday · 17/11/2022 22:07

Why does he like nik kershaw? It really is a riddle

Flockameanie · 17/11/2022 22:08

I hope you didn’t let the sun go down on that conversation

OrangePomander · 17/11/2022 22:11

Tell him that I saw Nik in concert back in the ‘80s, front row. 😂

GeorgeorRuth · 17/11/2022 22:18

😂 I thought that this was going to be about a 14 Yr old listening to explicit lyrics, etc.
Tell him MN approve, that should do it. 😂

titchy · 17/11/2022 22:21

Bet he was having a fantastic day!

HadEnoughOfBears · 17/11/2022 22:27

Tell him to listen to Duran Duran immediately

Georgeskitchen · 17/11/2022 22:38

It's surprising how many people who weren't even around in the 80s are totally into 80s music . Best decade by far!!
Has he discovered Rick Astley yet? 😉
