My folks didn't think much of me listening to rap when I first started (around 85 or 86), but they never kept me from listening to it, just said that they didn't want to listen to it as well. As the years went by they became more accepting to the point that I could actually listen to it in the car with them, JOY! Then, one day my dad told me that he actually enjoyed a song by Bone Thugs In Harmony, which I found weird and cool at the same time.
A few years after that I got into the whole "metal" thing, and it was like starting all over. Thank Christ I moved out shortly after that, because my tastes are constantly evolving and getting heavier. I know if I were a kid/teen listening to the stuff I do now, they'd make me listen to it on headphones exclusively. My 3 year old son loves it though. He got ahold of a pair of my headphones one day and decided he liked what he heard. He's always asking to hear "the scary music" lately. It's strange going from "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to "Bring Her A Mushroom Cloud", but whatever makes him happy...
