Do you have the same taste of music as your parents do?

I like some of the music they listened to and some of the music my nieces and nephews listen to:)

Sometimes. I grew up listening to a lot of Mozart, Chopin and the three Bs. I still like to listen to it sometimes, but usually I listen to music from the late 50’s to early 70s.

In fact right now I am listening to Mary Hopkins.

I like some of the music that my parents like. But my mom has recently started liking newer music and that I one thing I can not agree on. I am 17 and the majority of the music I listen to is from the 60s and 70s. I do like a few songs from this decade but they are usually by bands that never make it into iTunes top 100.

I don’t have the same taste as my parents, but my children don’t seem to mind mine. We like a lot of the same bands.

Not really. My mom likes country, my dad likes jazz. Although, they both rarely listen to music. I think the taste we have in common would be Johnny Cash since he’s from their generation. Other than that, they definitely don’t get or care for a lot of the music of the past 10 years or so.

No, Lawrence Welk is very fine man, but my music is Blues and Rock and Roll!

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Some.

I grew up with 1970s black gospel music (with a little R&B when TPTB in the house felt like ”backsliding”). My own tastes have been pretty much indie/alt/Brit rock since pre-adolescence, but I like some of the stuff I grew up hearing, Aretha Franklin and The Staples Singers, especially.

sometimes when I used to listen to Nirvana – All apologies my mom would come in and start dancing crazy old person dance and say “oh i like this song he’s saying my name” and i’d say ” no mah he’s saying married, buried…no Mary Mary” but she didn’t care she just kept on saying mary mary. My moms music was, Fats Dominoe, Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke..and she has like all these Elvis records..and I wasn’t aloud to touch the car stereo growing up so that’s what tapes we listened to..and I must say I like all those artists still today.

@Dewey420 My mom did the same thing. haha That’s funny. You should of seen my mother trying to moonwalk when Michael Jackson was popular in the 80’s.

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago. My tastes are very similar to my mother’s, who is 20 years older than I am. She turned me on to Sinatra, I turned Dad on to the Beatles.

@Austinlad Sorry I didn’t know. Or I missed the question.

@Dewey420 That made me laugh :)
I’ve pretty similar taste in music to my mother.
We’re both big fans of Dylan, Cohen, Neil Young, The Band, etc.
Guns N’ Roses, The Smiths….She’s great taste in music and she introduced me to some of my now favourites which is great.
She likes a bit of rap, which wouldn’t be my cup of tea and she thinks some of the current stuff I listen to is dull :)

My dad liked Nat King Cole and Glen Miller. There is nothing wrong with that!
My mom liked Broadway musicals and Little Jimmy Dickens. That drives me nuts.

I like a wide variety of music, which is inclusive of what my dad liked, but I like things they hated (beginning with the Beatles).

Oh, no problem, @Frenchfry. Just gave me a chance to answer it in a different way. :-)

@filmfann, I would like your parents very much!

My dad gave me classic rock. Im named after Jackson Browne after all. I enjoy classic rock, but my taste in music is much more expansive than my parents.

Not really. My dad likes elevator jazz and my mom likes a bit better selection of rock oldies.

kind of but no. My Dad likes Country and Classic Rock. My Mom likes Classical and some modern pop. I like pretty much everything but metal hits the spot

NO! My parents listened to country, and we’re talking Boxcar Willie, Willie Nelson type country!

I always did. My children and grandchildren will listen to my music, but they prefer to listen to their own music. It doesn’t matter anymore because everyone has their own ear buds and listens to their own music.

Different generations have different music tastes. i, like you, was forced to sit in the back seat of my dads old Oldsmobile and listen to the Grand Ole Opry. at eight years old, i was brain washed with country music, especially blue grass. i cannot express to you how much i truly despise country music and my parents made me that way. we did not have a walkman back then. should this have been considered child abuse? maybe not, but you either listened to country music or classical and today i still hate both of them. my generation was rock and roll and we still are into it today.

Not really. My mother is not big into music at all. If she had her way in the house, it would always be silent.
My father and I both love music. He doesn’t seem to like anything newer than stuff from the 80s. The closest thing to music that I like, in his music library, is Led Zeppelin. It’s not a band I’m very into, but if it came on the radio, I wouldn’t change it. He’s into all of those golden oldies.
I’m into more electronic music (Industrial and EBM), as well as Metal (Power, symphonic, prog).
My sister and I also share a tiny sliver of musical interests. She’s into electronic music as well, but she’s much more into the clubbing scene, and all of the more popular mainstream stuff.
My brother is much like my mother, I don’t think he has ever owned a music album.

Yeah, sometimes i can listen the songs that my parents like.

@Frenchfry lol…i love the Statler Bros, and Dolly is my all-time favorite person, and love her music. She has a pure voice. A very recongnizable voice! Having said that, I feel the same way as you do, about the Lawerence Welk era.

My dad introduced me to a lot of the music I currently enjoy and as I have found music of my own I have returned the favour and got him hooked on a few (Lady Gaga and Nightwish spring to mind!) so my dad and I have very similar music tastes.

Yes and no.

Yes. My dad loved Loretta Lynn and my step mom loved Elvis. I got the best of both worlds.
