RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Yeah, I kind of sound like a music snob or an old man at this time. I’ve been introducing her to classic rock, heavy metal, 90s hip-hop, R&B, 90s and 80s pop, 90s 2000s and 2010s techno, and so on.

I just like the idea. She’s very receptive to this and wants to hear a different genre each morning before school. Welcome to the world of dadding.

I'd rather frame it in a different way for myself: some rigidity in preferred genre's has set in. Judging some newer genre's is just... outside of my scope now, and instead of it feeling less or lower then 'peak', it's more a problem of my (music)bagage getting in the way. That, plus there is SO much music being pumped out, that statistically, if you feel the better music times are behind us, it's way more probable that you just havent found the new music that you love yet.

The daily genre class sounds fantastic, chances are high that she will find loads of new music interests in a small amount of time and effort. Gotta love it.
