Yeah. I seriously doubt anyone is "forced" to listen to anything, especially these days, with music so easily available and mostly for free. Cotton on to yourself for the love of god. You sound like you should be sitting on a rocking chair on the porch with a shotgun. Get a life. You're ****ing younger than I am, if, as I assume, that's your birth year in your username. Even I'm cooler than you, and people here will tell you that is not good at all.

Nothing screams entitled immature douche more than getting offended by other people, kids even, liking things.

F*ck off already.

This guy gets it. Doesn't say much, but when he does, watch out: it's gold.

I don't have kids and if I did, they'd probably be into whatever kids their age would be into in 2018. That's what kids do and that's fine. Just let kids be kids. For that matter, a lot of kids use Spotify and listen to all sorts of music. Just not the music of your generation, because, you know, that was then and this is now.

Complains about kids listening to mainstream music. Listens to Def Leppard.

It's true that as we grow older we may not relate to modern musical and cultural trends but what we can do is relate to the fact that like them, we were once young and felt our generation needed its own identity.

IMO the early 1990's were the last good times for music. It all went to **** after 1993. YouTube and social media are also at fault. If Metal is to come once more into mainstream it needs to evolve into something less dark. Don't get me wrong but popular music is always one with kind of less tension, mind relieving vibe. Most of the people after hard day of work don't want to build up a rage, instead they want relaxation. Glam Metal was liked because of mostly sexual lyrics, and bluesy life stories in songs. Metal nowadays is psychological defense mechanism in which listener drowns worlds misunderstanding for him in hate and sadness in some cases. Many of modern metal music videos shows guy/girl picked up for being different, and at the end he/she take revenge for being pushed around by hurting or ultimately killing someone. I like real musicians that play instruments without auto tune,sampling,dubbing etc.To me most of the music on the radio is kiddie disney music or rap. I've met too many kids that have never heard of metal and call it "screamo."I believe the genre as a whole would be healthier if Metal had "some" solid mainstream presence (in the CURRENT pop culture... not bands that are primarily being listened to because they had such power decades ago). If we're being really honest, soundcloud/mumble rappers/trap/EDM are winning the pop culture war right now and it's having a distinct effect on the income a metal musician can expect these days. Glam metal used to have that role in the 80s and early 90s. I'm pretty sure it can happen again if someone is able to catch the zeitgeist. I will be amazed if EDM is around for ten more years, a remarkable lack of substance in that genre.

Nick, will you ****ing LISTEN to what people are saying? Are you, seriously, autistic? You're just spouting the same ... oh hell with it. What's the point? And now you don't like EDM. Think it'll die out in ten years? One of the most popular genres around at the moment, and has been for a long time. Ever heard of nightclubs?

Honestly, would you have wanted your parents to force you to listen to their music? I didn't, though for a long time that was all I had. But once I got to making my own money I started buying the music I wanted. That's what everyone does. You can't force anyone to listen to anything. That's just monumentally stupid and incredibly arrogant.

Oh! What am I saying? Ladies and gentlemen: meet Nick1976!

Kids listen to different music now than when I was young. I'm scared. Hold me.
