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.

[PORTALIAN_Makes_Bass]

As a 19 year old dude who listens to Death, Marilyn Manson, and Nine Inch Nails, I can confirm that Gen Z does in fact like 90's music.

[decendguitars]

This just confirms that I’m doing my job as a parent and teaching my kids about great music, prior to the nut punch 2000’s pop music brought on.

[Constable_Chud]

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.

[HeretiCflow]

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.

[jackalzonearts]

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.

[brianhammond]

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

[blubfiu]

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

[boats]

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".

[sapientbutterfly]

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.

[maverick]

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.

[mybrotherjames]

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).

[Torgonius]

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.

[brewberry]

I grew up in the 90s and there's tons of 90s music i totally missed. My family didn't really have cable or internet when i was in high school so...

[hkoizumi]

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.

[Veklim]

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.

[Rye_Toast]

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.

[mab]

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 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!
