My parents dont really care at all what music I listen to, because they usually listen to it with me most of the time. I got my mom into Opeth, and she really enjoys some of their songs. You gotta show them that not all metal is as bad as they think. Dude... I wish I could get my fam to like melodic metal. I showed my dad some Theocracy, but it's just meh to him, and my mom is too sensitive to listen to much more than CCM artists. I wear headphones most of the time too. But even then, I don't listen to a lot of music on my computer because it has processing issues, and my parents haven't decided to buy a new one yet. Oh wow...well you see my mom used to listen to alot of older metal when she was a teenager so she still has abit of a taste for it, but now she listens to country...she used to listen to slayer and such lol. But both my dad and mom really like alot of power metal that I listen to, and sometimes they'll have a mixed CD of my metal in the van when they drive. |

Why don't you tell them that Cattle Decapitation is actually very much against the slaughter of animals? Ha, they're more worried about them being anti-christian. They probably looked up their lyrics, saw "Unintelligent design" and then alt-F4ed as hard as they could. I wish my parents were like that Ithalyn... |

I definitely know what you're going through, dude. When I first got into darker metal, my parents took away my MP3 player and gave me lectures on why it was wrong. One time my dad approached me, looked at me like I was going to Hell and said, "I'm praying for you."
Ticked me off. Both of my parents are a little better about it now, though. Bands like BTA, AILD, Antestor, WBCC, etc have awesome lyrics. After showing them a good deal, they finally came around and realized that I wasn't a satanic priest...

It's getting worse... everything that's happening to me is reminding me that I'm unintelligent, defective, irresponsible, and all the other negative words I can think of. It seems like my parents satisfy only my need for survival and a few useless desires.
I haven't played my guitar in a week because I've been so f**king depressed, and the one time I actually do pick up my guitar, my family won't stop coming in and interrupting me.

Dude, I am exactly where you are, and I have been there for several years. If you're parents don't trust you, if they don't genuinly respect what you have to say, then f**k them. Don't be defined by they're opinion if you know it's bulls**t. Play your guitar, listen to your music, do what you want.
I know this sounds like so much generic "f**k you dad" advice. I don't want you to go disrespecting your parents, but it sounds like they're dragging you down, and you know they're wrong. You can't let other people's stupidity drive you into the ground.

My parents are frustratingly conservative. So, when they started getting that way yesterday, I just said upfront, "I don't agree with you, but I'll go along with you because you're my parents". Sounds really faggoty, but they were shocked at how mature it sounded and backed off. Try that next time. It works!

Parents do know stuff, just sometimes not the stuff that you really need to hear.

and then when they do know things you need to hear you don't listen, but yeah, all of your problems are all your parents' fault.

Yeah, but parents aren't always right.
And no, this is not JUSt over cattle decap... they understand that now.
This will all be over with my parents next year, I just have to keep in their good graces until then.
I don't feel like adding anything else. Just keep praying or whatever...
