> Discoursing on pornography here is intriguing, but I'm afraid hardcore is entirely a form of music favoured by (some of) the young.
I see. I asked my daughter (13) about it and she had no idea what it was, so thank god. She still likes Avril Lavigne although some of her stuff is a bit beyond the beyond for me.
> The vocal style distinguishes it, a sort of Germanic roar, with music that reminds one of a bus smashing into a wall.
> Sometimes this music can be heard coming from my daughter's room.Talk about hard on the nerves, she must be a mess. Imagine the state she's creating for herself, better to stay out of that all right, so my room is still my sanctuary, the place I can go listen to Mozart and be temporarily in love with living.
> These hardcore people have found a way of offending against their parents' values...really ugly music and stickers on their cars saying 'Drugs are for sluts and losers'.Well now, i don't know that the paretns' values are so utterly different from what the kids are proving out. Because their values are directly related to how well we've instilled Ours, and how dearly we hold them. the values, and the children. So yeah, what goes around comes around and unfortunately we all have to deal with the fallout by being vociferous in our demands for a different mentality.
> I congratulate them for finding something that will piss me off.
Yeah, well, what doesn't piss Me off is the challenge.
