this is something i've discussed with my father a few times. music is the main common bond we share. he was a performer from the 50s straight through into the 90s. he's seen a LOT of crap.
i can safely say he would laugh (a lot) at the idea of being a 'rock fan for life' and adhering to the bands he listened to when he was my age so many decades later. what sort of personal growth does it show if an individual adheres to their adolescent perspectives throughout their adult life?
he didn't like everything my sister and i listened to but i know he didn't mind the old school chili peppers and soundgarden discs that i had back in the day. he was glad i had found a way to get myself some 'good' music that wasn't just top40 pap. but it's not like he was a fan.
as for symbolic meaning? no. rock music is about youth and rebellion, but not specifically your youth or your rebellion into adulthood.
