Kids react to Melvins

[homeless_dad]

I had Honky playing in the car today. Laughing with Lucifer at Satan's sideshow comes on and my 9 year old son comments 5 or 6 times "this song is weird". Once it was over he wanted to listen to it again!

I later change it to Lovely Butterfly. They sit quietly through most of the song when towards the end my 7 year old daughter comments "Dad, my ears hurt"

I used to play poker with my kids when they where little and listen to the Melvins. Dad can you play "Bull you squire?"*

my 17 month old son LOVES the eggnog record.  he does this weird stomp/sway dance during Charmicharmicat

My 4-1/2-year-old is mildly obsessed with the solo albums. Any time we're in the basement listening to records he asks to get the "records with the guys on them" out so he can stare at the covers, take the posters out and make them into the triptych, and listen to them, although he's not super into the music. He loves the Houdini cover too, especially the gatefold with the other 2-headed animals on the inside cover. His favorite is the seal.

I made a copy of A Senile Animal for my nephew when he was about 10 or 11 and forgot about it.  About a year later I noticed he was actually listening to the album and doing his best to sing along with the lyrics.  Very cool!

Good job, raising you kids to understand the visual and physical aspects of music c:

My niece and nephews listen to the frozen soundtrack, maybe it's time to turn them onto something a little heavier...

Kids rebel against a lot of stuff, from the parents, at least.
They might be more likely to take to it if the cool aunt or uncle introduce them to it.
Hell, maybe even from the grandparents!
My 4 year old has rocked out to some various stuff like Big Biz and Helms Alee, but I haven't noticed any specific reactions to the Melvins. Yet.

We religiously play "The Water Glass" on our way to the kids soccer games to get the kids "fired up".  My youngest is 3, he actually calls the song "Fired up" and asks for it "Dad, can we play Fired up ???"

i showed my nephew some tapes when he was 4 years old, because he knew tapes already from his home. he turns 7 next month but still remembers at least 2 of my tapes "indian rock" (lysol) and "dinosaur rock" (not melvins but a live tape from dzenghis khan).
not surprisingly he likes the rock n roll music from the dino tape better that lysol
