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.
That’s awesome you’re sharing your love of music!
I have to disagree, though. There is tons of great music from all genres coming out all the time, you just have to find it because the industry has changed so much.
Your Old Droog, Louis Cole, Kamasi Washington, King Gizzard, Viagra Boys, Oh Sees, Deerhoof, Mdou Moctar, Czarface, Parquet Courts. These are just a handful of random modern acts off the top of my head who are putting out great music.
Hell, plenty of talented artists from the 90’s (and other decades) like De La Soul and Beck are still releasing quality albums.
Maybe think about discovering new music as a bonding experience you can share with your kid.
I’m not worried about the bonding part. Between music, video games, legomen, and being interested in her life, I think that’s the one place I’m not failing… Yet.
Beck is the only one of those I’m familiar with, I just tried to download odelay and whatever and realized he now has like 20 albums, the new ones not fit to my taste that I’ve heard, daft punk ish, meh.
