There are 3 stages of music introduction through your lives. The first one is what you heard from your parents. The second is the music you heard your friends or cousins listening to and the 3rd is the music you find on your own exploration.
I’ve been lucky enough to have young parents and so I shared my parents’ music exploration as the music I heard from my parents. So I made two music explorations in my life. 😂
being the youngest of 7 kids, I got a crap ton of music thrown at me and there are only 2 genres I don't listen too, Country and Rap. It's because my friend and my mom he listened to nothing but rap 24/7 and my mom was like that with country even if she was in your vehicle.
Keep in mind that '97 is the start of Gen Z. I was raised on grunge. I listen to Alice in Chains almost daily. A lot of the 90's sound made it forth into pop culture through film in the early 2000s.
It is constantly argued the official start date and end date of every generation, but as a millennial and thus 90s kid, I will die on the hill that Gen Z starts at earliest 1998, though I strongly prefer 2000 as I refuse to accept anyone younger than that in my generation. lol *Edit - I managed to be dyslexic and say older, when I meant younger lol
@@TheCriminalViolin i was born in 98 and i prefer music from the 70’s to the 90’s myself. Personally I think Gen Z really begins a little after 2000, maybe like 02 or 03.
@@Jaquantaviousthe3rd It really does seem clear that's where the majority of the divergence in the generations starts for sure. I am 1/94 kid myself, so 4 years earlier than you, but I can definitely agree with you on that assessment haha. Y2K genuinely has a immense impact on everything. I myself am a diehard 70s/80s Rock fan, and the rest of my favorite music is random songs from a plethora of artists and bands from the 70s through early 2000s. I mean, not liking Savage Garden's two biggest hits feels almost sacrilegious, and being from the 90s and not knowing of or being into Ace Of Base feels off haha.
My 11 year old added Sabaton, Ghost and Nanowar of Steel to his 6th grade class's play list. He also just sang and played bass in a Chris Cornell tribute from his music school. He'd fail these scripted reactions very badly.
Lol I requested 3 MCR songs at my high school homecoming freshman year which was like 2015 and they only played one. They played part of the second before turning it to a rap song and then the teacher who was in charge of that lied to me and said there wasn't enough time for the 3rd one even though he started playing more music as I was walking to my mother's car. What a prick
Gen Z here. 2001 specifically. It's all about parents showing their kids music + possible intrigue. This is the best era to be in to listen to music. The internet gives us so much access to music of all kinds.
I love your profile picture! I'm so glad to see younger people still getting into awesome older music like Mötley Crüe! It's been cool to see a lot of new younger fans after The Dirt movie came out. You rock! 🤘
@IzziSixx i can't specifically remember how the heck I even found out about Mötley Crüe. I think it was actually because I ended up finding myself getting interested in a lot of 80's rock bands musically. The band that I found out about before Mötley Crüe for sure was actually Cinderella. I learned about Mötley Crüe way after, alongside bands like W.A.S.P., Poison, Dokken, Def Leppard, and even got some interest in the band Europe. You know, just more stuff that isn't Bon Jovi (family member of mine that passed loved them so I love them by proxy) or Guns N' Roses. I learned about grunge earlier than stuff like all these bands, but I love them both the same in tandem with the rock bands I grew up with like Paramore, Fall Out Boy, early Panic! At The Disco, Black Veil Brides, etc. I'm just a younger person who isn't afraid to branch out and listen to music that just has so much more passion or talent put behind it, not to discredit any modern artists, but the landscape for music is bland, and I haven't been interested in anything lately. The last newer artist within the last ten years that even remotely intrigued me was Billy Eilish, and before her, it was Lil Nas X. I'm still interested in diversifying my music pool. I'm into glam metal, grunge, thrash metal, punk, pop punk, older pop music, The Living Tombstone gets their own category, synthwave/retrowave, occasionally dubstep and hip-hop. Always happy to talk about music to people.
Goo Goo dolls - Iris. The ultimate (first time) heartbreak song. It's just universal. Every teen since that song came out has cried at least once to that song.
Back in the early 2000s, when the Virgin Megastores were still around, I actually got to see the Goo Goo Dolls perform for free some of their earlier songs at the store in San Francisco. I totally geeked out the whole time I was there😁👍🤘.
Or, if you were the social and class outcast like me, you'd gravitate to something like Jimmy Eat World The Middle. I find myself kinda loving anything by The Gathering nowadays, but I'll listen to Goo Goo Dolls or Jimmy Eat World every once in a while. I actually saw Dashboard Confessional just 2 weeks ago in New York and they kicked ass. I forgot how talented their singer was because they were a part of my Emo phase at 14. Counting Crows were okay, they were the other headliner there, but they were promoting mainly from their newer albums so it wasn't as familiar for most.
I saw Faith No More as the opening band with Soundgarden in the middle and Voivod headlining. I met Mike Patten while waiting in line to get in. He was really cool and nobody else in line recognized him. Jim Martin signed my tee shirt after the show. It was January or February 1990. Such a cool band
My dad got me the "Pretty Fly" single for my sixth birthday in 1999. But their breakthrough here in Germany probably was "Why don't you get a job?". My personal favorite of this album definitely has to be "Staring at the sun" tho :3
My wife is a “classically trained” pianist and opera singer. I’m a self taught drummer, guitarist, and pianist. My kids have such a breadth of music that they’ll hopefully explore(my wife did/does give them piano lessons).
Brings your faith back in the younger generations. My music experiences started in the early 70's with Pink Floyd, Deep Purple , Led Zepplin, Black Sabath, etc.And all the big bands through the 80's, 90's right through 'till now. I instilled all my tastes into my kids that were born in the early 90's, all through their formative years. There was always something blasting on the stereo. So they appreciate the old & the new. One of my boys plays Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums, & is a qualified Audio Engineer. He's played in a few local bands & writes music too. I remember one day when he thanked me profusely for exposing him to all those bands while growing up. It really forged the direction of his life. Made my heart "soar like a hawk".
I started my music education with 60s, 70s, and 80s rock due to my dad, my taste expanded into the 90s grunge and punk scene, then later on in middle school and highschool I got into the 2000s metal scene. I still love all of that music.
It's definitely true you learn from your parents taste in music. I grew up on Def Leppard and AC/DC etc which I still love. Then I found other more modern bands as a teenager to add to my favourites. My eldest daughter is 15 and over the last few years has really developed a passion for music. But she loves Nirvana and The Pixies, and Motley Crue etc. I feel her Dad and I taught her well.
The thing about the influence from our parents musical taste was extremely limited with me. My mother was not that much into music and the only thing she did occasionally listen to was German "Schlagermusik" on the radio, and my dad was mostily into classical music, opera and such things, which I "hated" when I was a kid, because that was the same music we were taught about in school. So music did not really mean anything to me until we finally got MTV in Germany and then a couple of years later music I was introduced to by my older brother started me on a journey that would eventually turn me into a metalhead. That in turn resulted in me finding a new appreciation for classical music, which is cool because it brought me even closer to my dad.
My mom listened to straight up old school country, my dad listened to 70s / 80s rock, my older brothers listened to thrash and death metal... I picked up a little 80s rock, a little thrash, and a lot of grunge when i was a kid in the early 90s.
Your whole point about kids knowing the music their parents listen to is absolutely spot on. I grew up on a crazy eclectic mix of stuff because I was lucky enough to have 2 parents who had wide and varied tastes (everything from Rimsky Korsakov to Gary Numan, Beach Boys to Bach, Billie Holiday to Billy Idol, truly varied!). I remember distinctly though, the first time I introduced music to my parents instead of the other way around, and it was a strange moment where it felt a little like I was 'coming of age'. I sat them down and played Origin of Symmetry, and they had the same kind of reaction that I had when, years before, they sat me down and played Trick of the Tail, just a total immersion in a new soundscape. I simply cannot understand why people tether themselves to one genre or period of music and refuse to expand their horizons.
And then most people come to an age where they hate on the music of the younger generation. I watch it happen to people I know. Man I miss MTV music videos.
I know it made me smile when my daughter was 6 or 7 and we were listening to the radio in the car and she said "Oh, Tool, turn it up that's my favorite band." I was like WTH that's awesome. I was going to get us concert tickets, but the cheap seats were over 300 and that was a big nope. I miss 90s concert prices.
I was born in 2001. I recognized 8 of the 10 songs, but I could only name the four from Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, The Offspring, and Faith no More. My parents listened to lots of rock, pop, and country; and I was really into Guitar Hero/Rock Band, so I've been exposed to lots of 70s, 80s, and 90s music. I'm curious what these kids would think of genre-bending stuff like Mr. Bungle or Electric Callboy.
Born in 1980 so I may be the youngest Gen X or the oldest Millennial. Nevertheless, I feel like my age group has the blessing of being aware of many amazing music from the 80s and 90s. We also explore generation prior for the 70s or even the 60s.
1/2/80. grew up with parents who weren't really into music much (journey and 80s/90s country for mom, ccr, dr hook, and johnny cash for dad. that was about it), and an older brother and sister, by 8 and 6 years, respectively. they exposed me to hair metal, outlaw country, and 80s pop rock. when i was 15, i found my own real musical love, punk rock. from there i expanded out into ska, hardcore, and reggae. just a few years ago, i discovered modern bluegrass/southern gothic. there's a lot of great music out there, sometimes you have to go looking for it. i have only ever voluntarily listened to rock on the radio, and even quit doing that in 2001. i don't regret it, even if it means i don't know a lot of crappy pop music at all.
My favorite was definitely the kid in the blue shirt who was just ASTONISHED that the kid he was next to had no idea who Green Day was...and how he was so in disbelief he started naming songs and outright sang parts of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Holiday" just. Stunned. Like "nooo HE HAS to have heard ONE song by them, surely?? And just not realized the band name?? NO!?? WAT." I like to imagine after the video shoot he was giving him like RU-vid links/song recs to look up Green Day stuff after 😂
This was a lot of fun to watch. :) I'm glad that they know some 90's hits! Each of those songs were ones that I heard growing up in the 90's. I'm glad that they're still known/recognizable to the youth of today.
My nephews were born in 2000 and 2001, we made sure they were introduced to ALL kinds of music. I'm in my early 50s so peak GenX, I was in my 20s during the 90s and I used to be a radio DJ, we hooked them up.
Totally Agree!! A lot of this depends on the parents... my 16 year old daughters' favorite band is Green Day (guess who else loves Green day) :) She found lots of great bands on her own too though, she loves Queen and Red Hot Chili Peppers.. Nirvana, Guns and Roses and more! Most of the new stuff she likes are less popular.. .like Jacob Collier, she does love some Ed Sheeran though.
I knew I had done something right when my daughter, who was 9 or 10 at the time, came down for breakfast singing AC/DC! Now at 17, her music of choice to get ready in the morning is Slipknot and System of a Down. Her playlists selections includes many genres spanning over several decades. Just went to a Journey concert with her recently and she knew all the songs!
So being an older Rock/Metal musician , this is a fairly important thing to me. I have been finding Kids aren't as out of touch in general as I expected. I actually stop and ask kids that are wearing Sound garden or Nirvana , Sabbath and even Dio T-shirts and ask them if they actually know these bands music. There have been a couple that are just into the style and clueless about the bands music..... " Like I think my dad used to listen to them.... " But by far most have been down! :) Gives me hope you know. Everything is meant to be a ringtone these days and rock is still where it's at. My kids were raised around band practices and back stage concert experiences and are into todays music as well. I don't get it but they are more eclectic than I am , lol. Keep up the good work bud.
I'm happy I raised my son right. 27 years old (1994) & he loves everything from the 60s thru the early 2000s. Any given day, I'll find him pulling in to visit blasting anything from the Beatles to ozzy.he recently started appreciating my love for glam bands (poison, Crue, warrant). He will absolutely not listen to any of the crap rap coming out now but will listen to LL Cool J & the likes
My 13-year-old son and I just learned a few Nirvana songs together. I'm a newbie on bass, he taught himself to play guitar after we lost my partner, his stepfather to covid. The kid worked hard, hard, and was lonely, so I bought a bass and he plays guitar. He was born in 2009 and loves The Smiths, Joy Division, and Deftones (plus SO much more. We saw KSE and Lorna Shore this year alone). I did shove it down his throat his whole life, but he pretends he discovered it, haha. Oh, and we covered Everlong too! My poor fingers, man. 1997 was a trip. He played with faculty on stage for the school's senior prom fundraiser, both Zombie and Brain Stew in November. An 8th grader. I have proud mom videos I send everywhere. We're working on Dramamine right now. It's hard lol. I was born in '86, so I grew up in the best years for music. Jimi Hendrix and ska/punk/hardcore was my first love. Plus Tony, Toni, Tone. Ha. He's got a bright future if he keeps playing.
I've been watching this channel a lot that's how I got your video recommended to me (I subscribed immediately lol) and I've come to really like a couple of these kids but I think Dani the one who keeps singing with the curly hair and Jaxon who was asking Lucas about Green Day are my favourites. Angel the black girl with the dreads was so so funny too xxxx
Oh, some of those took me straight to my teenage years. 😄 And have to say, many of the bands and artists that I still listen to, have become familiar to me through my father. Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Toto, Jennifer Rush, Genesis... And even Queen is a band that I first saw on my dad's record collection. And I remember it was fun to look at the album covers, they were so artistic. My favourite album cover was Fleetwood Mac's Tango in The Night and I hated Uriah Heep's Abominog and Very 'Eave Very 'Umble - they terrified me. 😅
My 11yo daughter has Sabaton, In Flames and Falling in Reverse on her faves list in Spotify. In fact, it's _mostly_ those bands. I'm continually making her listen to bands like (old) Godsmack, (old) Finger Eleven etc and she keeps adding good stuff to her faves 🙂
also growing up with their aunt’s taste, lol. bought my niece tickets for falling in reverse and papa roach and she’s coming with me to see fall out boy and bmth. nephew’s first concert was knotfest with me, and i’m taking him to download and (finally) have him psyched for lorna shore. 🙌🏻
You made a great point about the music taste coming from parents, I attribute my metal head side to my father and my 80's and 90's side to my mother my music taste ranges from Behemoth and Cannibal Corpse to Queen and beyond.
I’m a 78er, so my music tastes didn’t just include 90’s music, but everything my parents listened to (I actually won a drawing at my Dad’s Class of 1975 HS reunion in 1990; the prize was The Eagles 71-75 Greatest Hits cassette and I ended up wearing it OUT I loved it so much!) and I learned a lot of 80’s stuff from my aunts (Janet Jackson, Poison, GNR, Duran Duran). Now in my 40’s…I wouldn’t touch this newer “music” if someone paid me. My nephews are 20 and 16 and they had no idea who the hell Kurt Cobain or Alanis Morrisette were. It broke my heart.
I had that Offspring album when It came out I think i around 13, 14 at the time and my dad actually loved it he would have me blast it while he worked outside of the house.
I saw a group of teenagers recently, wearing Nirvana, Pearl Jam, NIN and Metallica T-Shirts and immediately thought 'oh, a bunch of posers that have no knowledge of those bands music!' But a few minutes later, I suddenly realised that teenagers today listening to that music is no different to me and my friends listening to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Dylan, The Who, etc, back in the 90's! It's basically 30 years difference in both cases.
I always used to get mixed up between iris and i'm still here from the movie treasure planet. They're both by the goo goo dolls so its not so ridiculous. I'd start singing one and end up singing the other after a certain point.
It really depends on what your parents listen to! My 4yo and my 8yo sing Spaceman by Electric Callboy all the time these days (since I bought tickets to the Montreal show I've been VERY hyped and listening to Tekkno nonstop in the car). They head bang to Rammstein, they love Muse. The oldest is also obsessed with Harry Styles these days x) I've always tried to expose them to a variety of genres, so they expand their ears and hearts to all the wonderful things we can do with music. I grew up on Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Genesis, Queen, etc. It really shapes what kind of music will connect with us later on!
Offspring played the game with Americana, they released the 2 most accessible tracks as singles and the rest of the album was fast as f**k. My favourite album of theirs by a country mile.
I don't watch your channel but it showed up in my fed I gave you a thumbs up and comment also because I too love Epic that was one of my favorite videos back when MTV was real music !
off topic: glad you mentioned nik’s hoodie is comfortable because i was on the fence about getting one. need another hoodie for download, and i guess now i’ll be ordering one 🙂
i should also mention i just ordered Tank’s all the metal shirt for Download wearing as well. it’s pretty perfect for a day that includes lorna shore, i prevail, bloodywood, parkway drive, ghost, and slipknot 😊
Born in 2003 I always heard my dad play that sing from "faith no more" here and there never knew or bother to ask him what the song was called but now I finally know, adding it to my play list right away
This video was really fun, it's weird seeing which songs the kids actually recognise. But I'm with you on kids picking up music from their parents, my daughter's 5 & every time we're in the car at the moment she asks for Evanescence.
I'm german and was a kid in the 90s. I still love the music. I know the songs from Alanis Morissette, the Offspring, the Cranberrys, Seal, Roxette and the song from the Goo Goo Dolls, although I didn't know the name.
ayee thanks for the Offspring callouts, Americana is probably my fav album of theirs and ironically Pretty Fly is my most hated Offspring song (too overplayed), just goes to show how strong that album is overall.
I'm from UK and The Offspring were pretty big. I think the first three albums were the best, Offspring, Ignition, Smash and Ixnay on the Hombre. Some classic bangers on them albums. Faith No More, I remember actually had a feud with Red Hot Chilli Peppers back then.
@@fuosdi64 '97 is the very beginning of gen Z. So yeah, we are definitely more millennial than we are gen Z. I too knew all of these artists in this video.
So you toured with them in 2015 I suppose you did BST in Hyde Park then? Such an iconic show with Soundgarden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and Faith No More . Last time I saw Chris and Lemmy
im apart of gen z and i grew up on music like this and metal. my first cd was disturbed ten-thousand fists. it always pisses me of when other people my age are surprised about certain music genres and songs, as its what i listen to.
I saw Faith No More as the opening band with Soundgarden in the middle and Voivod headlining. I met Mike Patten while waiting in line to get in. He was really cool and nobody else in line recognized him. Jim Martin signed my tee shirt after the show. It was January or February 1990.
Jaxon (guy who could not believe the other one, lucas, didn't know green day) seems to be the only one with parents that have good taste 🤣 He knows so many different genres and even if he doesn't like it, he is not dismissing it as something bad. Parents did a great job in my opinion 😅
One of my favorite children reactions! EPIC by Faith No More...that's a hard one for kids these days. All we can do as parents is introduce the music we love to them.
FNM are one of my all time favorite bands. Mike has the greatest voice. Angel Dust is an album you can listen to from start to finish and not skip a single
@11:10 - those are linen clothes, I love them, they are decently warm in winter-ish seasons, and refreshing in summer-ish seasons. It's the best material, though they will make you look a bit raggedy maybe, but they suck on moisture real fast as well as it really fast dries out. From the way you look in the picture, I am pretty sure those are linen clothes, if not pants, then shirt definitely. But linen clothes can get expensive because of the natural material. Remember, it's not stretchy, but they are made with loose fit, so for your size it should be loose fit, if not, then just a size above if from the supplier/manufacturer/artist you can't get custom tailored for your size. What I love about them myself, is that, depending of the look of the shirts and everything, it can make you look traditional, like from historic times. I personally pick specific look of the shirts and tunic made from linen to make me look traditional, ethnic, historical, and because of it it can serve as a...I forgot the word for it, but basically a polite thing, formal clean wear.
I got my first Offspring CD in 1997. It was Ixnay on the Hombre. Such a banger. Smash was a good album too, but I agree Americana had so many great hits from start to finish. My 11 year old daughter had a friend over and we were talking about the 1990's. When she found out I was born in 1987 she literally asked if I was a time traveler. She was blown away that I "was born in the 1900's". 🤣
3:00 this is literally EXACTLY why i'm a metalhead and a classic rock lover istfg older people are always surprised when i'm wearing a band shirt from 90's and earlier
I’m in a weird position when it comes to taste in music, as the only music I ever really heard when I was growing up was primarily praise and worship and classical music because my dad is a pretty religious guy, so I developed my own tastes in music due to a weird mix of friends and siblings starting in the 80s an early 90s, and it has continued to evolve ever since then. Started with the golden oldies from the 50s and 60s because my mom occasionally sang some of those older songs, and moved into late 80s pop/R&B as that was what my friends at school were listening too. My older sister introduced me to early alternative stuff like oingo boingo and REM, and a much older cousin introduced me to some classic rock like Aerosmith and Pink Floyd. It just got weirder and more ecclectic from there as I went into high school and was very involved with the band and other music programs there (adding jazz, fusion, and opera into the mix) and finally working in a mom/pop music store in my early 20s introduced me to hard rock and metal (primarily prog metal). So, yeah. A randomization of songs in my library is going to produce the weirdest mix you’ve ever heard. 😂
Not a gen Z but Born in 92 and got introduced to music very early on due to my parents listening to rock and metal a lot. I listen to a wide variety of music, but metal is what hits me the most. As for these mentions, Foo fighters is the most nostalgic to me. Foo fighters was used in so many RU-vid videos back in 05 and onward until the copyright laws kicked in. For me soilwork, in flames and Rammstein are among the favourites. Only thing that hurts about it is when you realise that they've been around for a long time and they could stop making music at any moment.
I was in Hamburg on the Faith No More Concert, when that white thing was their thing. It was the first concert with my daughter and now we will be in Hamburg on the Electric Callboy gig and it will be the first concert with my son. It´s so important to create memories with your kids and music - it will stay forever!
Those kids were listening to those songs sitting in the cart as their parents shopped at Target. They know these songs from the grocery stores of their childhoods.
My son is 22 and i am 43. He DEFINITELY heard all of this music growing up. I used to sit in front of my 15s rocking Korn,Cold, slipknot, staind...etc... when i was pregnant with him in 2001. He loves all of those bands to this day 😁
i was born in 2001 and always listened to songs from the 60's;70's;80's and 90's not only cuz of my parents but i also enjoyed discovering what music was like back then always liked vintage stuff and old school classics in music and in movies etc
Mike Patton would literally take all the music these kids listen to..... and pile them up.... and literally take a fat shit on all of it. FNM and Mike are some of the most amazing musicians. Mike is such an amazing vocalist
Iam 52 and my kids (17 and 22) know ALL these songs ^^. It is part of my duty as an adult to teach and educate them kids in regards of "GOOD" and "GREAT" music
I'm a 70s/80s chick, my kids are all 90s. I'm so glad to see that at least some of these kids have at least heard these songs. Being Irish our radio play is always a mixture of all and most DJs like to play the oldies. Can't believe the 90s are now oldies
I think the Live performance video of Slipknot where the whole drummer's kit spins upside down would blow the minds of any of the reactors reaction videos. It blew my mind and I've been a slipknot fan since the duality album when I first them.
Many people of my generation(Z)love music from the Rock, Punk, Metal, New wave, Grunge, Neo Soul, Motown, Funk, Glam, Alternative, Indie, Pop, R&B greats of various if not most decades past to present.
Honestly it shouldn't have been surprising that they all knew Goo Goo Dolls... that song was like the main theme song for Smallville on WB.... All these kids would have probably watched that show as one of their first introductions to superhero media.
So true about exposure to your parents musical taste as a child having an impact!! I’m 46 ((gen z) and still Simon and Garfunkel greatest hits is to this day one of my favorite albums - it’s my must listen to on road trips 😂
I fell in love with faith no more on away home from a trapshoot on Blair and fell in love it and tbh at first thought they sounded like that one Star Wars band
Im loving it, my sons 10 grew up listening to amon amarth, archspire, lamb of god...etc and now he brings bands to me that ive never heard of that are fantastic. Like last weekend he showed me ice nine kills, and i prevail.
My 3 year old son gets Electric Callboy, Lorna Shore, Devin Townsend, Jinjer, etc all the time. He especially enjoys Falling in Reverse lately. Curious to see where it will go with him.
This channel isn't actors but you are right to say that the kids could have youtube channels because most of them do have their own and they know how to speak to the camera. I know somebody that used to be in the videos back when they were FBE and she said that she was always honest about what she thought. Lucas is the kid who didn't know Green Day and when you see him on the show he very much knows dance/pop music and not much else. What is AMAZING about this video is that with both Sabotage and Everlong the kids didn't seem to understand that the videos were made to look retro.
