Yeah, I kind of sound like a music snob or an old man at this time. I’ve been introducing her to classic rock, heavy metal, 90s hip-hop, R&B, 90s and 80s pop, 90s 2000s and 2010s techno, and so on.
I just like the idea. She’s very receptive to this and wants to hear a different genre each morning before school. Welcome to the world of dadding.


Learning how to play an instrument/make music has been more accessible then ever since the internet.
Also acces to musical trends worldwide, no longer are we bound to what the radio is willing to play.
This leads to an explosion in blended styles that you can’t define modern music into anymore. This might explain why you feel this way. The culture is completely different.
That said all this new stuff is still a continuation of the music that came before. Its an evolution and knowing the older stuff is still a huge leg up to understand the stuff that comes out today.
My kiddo loves music. But she’s really lazy about learning to play anything…
