Parent and child music interests

I have been to some concerts with my father. He loves classical music and jazz and when I was younger we sometimes went to concerts together. I like many different kinds of music and most of the time I listen to pop or rock, but I still liked to go to concerts with my father, we had a nice time together and it gave me the chance to listen to some music that I didn't know that well. My parents and I have never been to a rock concert together, not because I don't want to, but because my parents aren't interested in that kind of music.

A true music never feel shame for any kind of music and I have never gone through such situation where I have to feel ashamed of any kind of music which I don't like .

my mum and I like a lot of the same music, both new and old, and we always have. when I was growing up, she was very into Bowie, and still is, and of course, Bowie is a legend. I think he's amazing, and saw him live myself some years back. I share her love of Punk music, which is, of course, more her era than mine, but it's really good, even if some of it's bad. it's not about talent, it's about attitude. we both love Blur, Placebo, Radiohead and the like too. my mum has never stopped getting into good new music, and through her I have experienced the good music that was around before I was born.

Parents should participate in their children's lives and if going to a rap concert with my daughter will help me to strenghten the father daugher bond, i would be happy to go and may even try to show i am enjoying it. While parents want children to do things that they feel will teach them things or that may benefit the child, the child decides what he/she likes to do. We cannot live through our children. Children may feel a little ashamed of their parents. That has do do with their perceptions about peer pressure and ridicule among other things. But in the long run, the child will be grateful that he/she was able to share his/her interest with a parent. It makes for good discussion in future family gatherings also. Also, sharing your child's interest will give you leverage for your child to share in your interest and as a result enhance the family's happiness.

music interests really differs... but in my experience, while i grew listening to my parents music interests... it seems like i can hear it forever and i really want to listen to them again. I guess i just learned to like it because i always hear it playing.. eheh!! right now that im in my 30's i miss those songs. I consider them a part of my parents memories.

No, as long as we share the same music. When you are bonded with your family, you will never be ashamed to go a concert with them or vice versa. It's more on how you handle the situation or how you react to the situation. I don't really care as long as were having a good time.

hi sender well my son is more mature so he would go to a Mozart classic concert with me, no embarrassment, and I went to a U W concert with him, and to a sting, much to my regret, concert with him. I really was not into sting back a few years. they are more mellow how.In his teens he and I w ent to several Beatles concerts, and it did not kill either one of us. The only thing that embarrasses my adult son is my obsession with Mozart as opposed to other classical ones like Bach and Chopin and Beethoveen. I do like Beethoven a lot though. My son has loaded my musical files with some more modern groups now and I do like a lot of them too.
