Feb 13, 2017 in some cases, when kids start listening to music, their parents will introduce them to certain artists. and the kid(s) will start listening to that particular artist or genre because its what they were first introduced to. for me, my parents had very little to no influence on my musical taste. my mom raised me on her own (don't worry guys, i know my dad too ) and i didn't even really start getting into music until I was about 13-15 years old. i don't know why, but my mom and I never really talked about music that much. outkast and eminem were two of the artists i first discovered. and because i enjoyed them so much, i started researching more hip hop from the past and present. and then for a loooong time the only thing that i would listen to was hip hop. its not that i didn't like other genres......its just that once you start listening to a particular genre and enjoying it..........its easy to get stuck on that ONE genre. later down the road i started giving other genres a chance and i'm glad i did........because other-wise i would have missed out on some great stuff! so i guess my question is.......how did your parents influence your musical taste? a little bit? a lot? also.......which artists or genres did your parents introduce you to? did you like these artists or not?

Feb 13, 2017 My parents moved me to the most wealthy subdivision in my area. There i had trouble finding friends and all the girls called me a loser. I spent my days inside being a fa----, but my dad made me go outside one day where the mailman lured me to his van with some skullcandy headphones and r---d me there. Because of all this i now exclusively listen to eminem.
Feb 13, 2017 Yikes. Im glad i have a much simplier reason. I listened to eminem because he repped Detroit and I'm from Detroit. It was that simple since I was only like 12 at the time.
Feb 13, 2017 Yeah, see my uncle used to get me drunk when I was nine and show me p--- and let me listen to music my parents wouldn't let me to like MMLP. He used to always give me groin massages for my headaches. Because of that I now exclusively listen to Eminem as well.
