How much edgier can you get than Korn, Limp biscuit, Linkin Park, Metallica, etc... we took heavy and hard to the top of the arc - we left our children with just choosing which music styles of the past they like the best because their parents bested them on edgy music, hehe... in a way its kinda sad. I mean there really isn't anything that can offend xennial parents (millennial/x-gen), we're oblivious to just about everything at this point.

We've grew up watching shows like Growing Pains, Saved By The Bell, and grew to watch things like Shameless, Spartacus, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad. We love shock factor so much, when something should shock us, we're often oblivious to it.

I wonder if parents always hated the music of their kids, even before modern eras. 1920s? 1800s? 1700s?

The other factor is that a lot of the hate for music was religion based and many now aren't religious anymore, so that's a non-factor. Take the case of Twisted Sister vs Tipper Gore for example lol.



It's not that you can't possibly get any more edgy than that, there's just no demand for it anymore due the rise of safe space / political correctness movements. Though you could still anger your parents by listening to LGBT themed music if they're on the conservative side.

Verily, the Galant Style only sufficeth for Macaronis and Poppinjays. Ho! What a Pain it wreaketh upon mine Ears! Tis like a Pandemonium!
