How can I make my son stop listening to these bands? Especially Disturbed.

I can't kill him, so I think I need to find something to replace those bands. Something extraordinarily better. I don't know how far I'll get him away from this "pop" radio music style, but I'd like to try. Also, no heavy metal.

It's really annoying to talk to him about music, I really need some help. He's in seventh grade and it's pretty vital to him that the music is "cool" and not "emo".

There's gotta be soemthing out there, right?

Thanks if you try to help.

Hun you should let him listen to it but tell him that he will listen to it without you present or you learn to keep your mouth shut when he listens to his music. Have you heard from him shut your music off or any of that stuff believe me he feels the same way as you do. I would let him be.

I listen to the music and I am still young. Just remember your parents did the same thing to you so try not to be so sensitive to the music.

Two things to keep in mind: if your son realizes you're trying to wean him off his awful music, he'll close up completely to any suggestions you might have. If you forbid him to listen to certain music based on lyrical content or imagery, he'll get a taste for forbidden fruit and move on to deemedly less appropriate tunes.
My parents made the mistake of trying to cut off my hard rock intake, and I ended up with Carcass and Dead Infection albums in a steady rotation

I think this is a fake thread tbph. That or a pretty ridiculous one. This kind of topics always get so much responses and I hate it.

Not that I'm any better :P

You're telling me that bands like Necrophagist, Nile, Dying Fetus are less innovative than, say, Disturbed, Mudvayne, or Slipknot?

Get him to listen to comus, PM me if you want a link to the album, all teens can relate to it, it's angry, yet parents will like it because it's acoustic and early 70's.

Dammit get him to listen to Slayer and drink JD right out of the bottle then shut up.

wow, thread got a little out of hand. I wasn't asking for parenting tips, just some suggestions of music. I sort of thought this was a music forum.

also, I let him listen to what he wants, I'm mainly trying to find something we can both listen to. I listen to Rilo Kiley, New Pornographers, of Montreal, The Shins... stuff like that. and he doesn't seem to think its very cool. Hell, I don't think its all that cool sometimes either. I understand people have different tastes. I was just looking for new music.

and, as for the "with my mom" comment. I don't see how it's any different than "in a van down by the river"
