So my sister started listening to Metro Station...

[Neo Cassady]

...and I need to get her into bands that (a) play good music and (b) won't rape her at their shows. What's the best route to go with this? Or, perhaps a better question, what should I replace their album with once I delete it from her ipod?

[Machu505]

Converge

[Neo Cassady]

Converge

hahahaha.








perhaps.

[Machu505]

In all seriousness, replace it with Deja Entendu of Tell All Your Friends.

[IWasaCamera]

Bob Dylan.

[x togepi x]

i wouldn't do anything. i tried getting my little brother into music that wasn't hinder or three six mafia and it totally backfired.

[Neo Cassady]

i wouldn't do anything. i tried getting my little brother into music that wasn't hinder or three six mafia and it totally backfired.

how so?

[checkered.stars]

I tried this once. My sister ended up liking Good Charlotte.

Maybe you should try Yellowcard, You, Me, and Everyone We Know, or The Academy Is...

[Machu505]

As I've said before, Deja Entendu got me into most of what I like today.

[versus_god]

The Ergs!

[x togepi x]

how so?

he viewed it as me trying to push music onto him which pushed him even further into the direction of throwaway radio rock. of course, this was when he was 15 and in that typical teenage "fuck everything i'll do what i want" phase.

[Neo Cassady]

that sucks. My sister's 13 almost 14 so I'm hoping she's not into that stage quite yet.

Deja Entendu of Tell All Your Friends.

Bob Dylan.

Yellowcard, You, Me, and Everyone We Know, or The Academy Is...

The Ergs!

Thanks guys. I figured most of the responses would be pop-punk related, but exposing her to another genre entirely (Dylan) might be a better idea. Hadn't thought of that.

[DRUMMERGIRL121]

Replace it with any album by The Starting Line. She will love you for it.

[funkel]

Have her listen to movie scores (such as The Village, amazing) or post-rock.

[Fourchordwonder]

Deja Entendu worked for my brother

[Jumpoff]

...and I need to get her into bands that (a) play good music and (b) won't rape her at their shows. What's the best route to go with this? Or, perhaps a better question, what should I replace their album with once I delete it from her ipod?

She'd probably like any pop punk or pop rock bands you give her. So try out some Ergs, Movielife, Starting Line, Ben Folds, etc.

Maybe even some stuff like Pedro the Lion or Gaslight Anthem would work.

I don't like every band that I just mentioned, but ANYTHING is a step up from metro station.

[theguy77]

Thanks guys. I figured most of the responses would be pop-punk related, but exposing her to another genre entirely (Dylan) might be a better idea. Hadn't thought of that.

i seriously, seriously doubt a 14 year old into metro station will readily accept bob dylan.

just start her off with better pop-punk, thats the most likely route.

...both? That's tough.

[micahistheballs]

Anberlin

not the best band, but sort of in the same vein, only one of the better bands in the Warped tour scene.

[IWasaCamera]

Just get her on AP. Several different genres are discussed and it's a place I would have loved to know about at her age.

[alltimecam]

i think metro station is better than a lot of the main stream music she could be listening to
whats the big deal i dont really understand why everyone hates them so much

[luckyforsome]

Maybe Rilo Kiley, No Doubt or Paramore. She might like the female singers, I guess.

[Jumpoff]

Because they make shitty music, and should overall be ignored..

She's still young and will grow out of metro station
the bands I was listening to then are ridiculous

[WakeUpBlondie]

Take this to your grave
mmhmm


Those are really easy to get into, sp try those

[WakeUpBlondie]

i dont really understand why everyone hates them so much

(Let's Drop!)
(Yeah)
(Come On)

I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door (front door)
Your body's cold, but girl we're getting so warm
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside (get inside)
Tonight you're falling in love (let me go now)
The feelings stirring me up (here we go now)

Now if she does it like this will you do it like that
Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back
Now if she moves like this, will you move it like that (come on)

Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, uh shake it

replace it with Four Year Strong.

[IWasaCamera]

Or good music.

[hockeyguitar99]

I can't really think of a good band like this off the top of the head, but try something that is sort of in that direction, electronic influenced, but better. Slowly lead her towards better music like that. I'd say maybe start with Motion City Soundtrack

I would say The Ergs!, or maybe something like Rilo Kiley.

this. best advice yet.

[chipdip18]

I don't know, if you give her the right song. I listened to Hurricane and i instantly fell in love with it. Maybe it could do the same?

Maybe Rilo Kiley, No Doubt or Paramore. She might like the female singers, I guess.

This.

My personal recommendation would be Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want To Be because it's got radio-friendly songs and it could help transition to other pop-punk.

right now my favorite song is dear child by anthony green and i just started listening to a hawk and a hacksaw

Good call.

[thesafeword]

Saves the Day, The Academy Is..., The Hush Sound, The Get Up Kids? I don't know, something catchy, yet respectable.

[Neo Cassady]

I'm probably going to end up making her a mix of stuff people have listed.

[thesafeword]

The general vote looks to be pop-punk stuff.

[thespearkid]

I have the exact same problem. I started introducing my brother to "scene" bands about a year ago and, for awhile, it was all good. Then, he started finding bands and his own. At first, it was fine (Ludo, Saves the Day) but then things got out of control (Cobra Starship, Treaty of Paris, Forever the Sickest Kids, and finally, Metro Station).

How about letting her be a kid and listen to shitty music like most 13 year olds do, and hopefully, through the visceral progression of age, she'll come around to good music as she nears adulthood.

Seriously, how many of you were listening to luminary works of music when you were 13?

My niece is 14. Her favorite bands are Paramore, Flyleaf and The Spill Canvas. Do you know why these are her favorite bands? It's primarily due to the fact she's a 14 year old.

-Cue the 14 year old kid on this site who listens to Neutral Milk Hotel telling me how wrong I am because he truly gets Jeff Mangum.

[Pluto.]

She might like Minus The Bear.

Okay maybe my original post came off a little harsh. I'm not going to stop her from listening to anything; I just want to introduce her to other music to let her know that there's other stuff out there, and I needed a starting point.

[Matthew Tsai]

how about hawk nelson? safe at their shows for sure.

[kearn1tm]

Okay maybe my original post came off a little harsh. I'm not going to stop her from listening to anything; I just want to introduce her to other music to let her know that there's other stuff out there, and I needed a starting point.

I'm not implying there's anything wrong with trying to introduce her to good music, but (and this is anecdotal evidence, so take it as it is) in my experience, kids aren't mentally developed or sophisticated to want anything beyond fast, hook-heavy, infectious pop-music or music that has connotations to an image that's considered cool. You can give her a "gateway powerpop band," hope she digs it and then hold out hope that it'll lead her somehow to music beyond "the scene," but kids are kids and they listen to what they like.

[Protested Hero]

Let her listen to Saves the Day - Stay What You Are. It's poppy and accessible, but also worthy and respectable.

Especially start with At Your Funeral. If that doesn't catch her attention I don't know what will. Also Nightingale and This Is Not An Exit.

Also, as people have stated try The Academy Is - Almost Here, The Matches - E Von Dahl, maybe even Cartel - Chroma.

...and I need to get her into bands that (a) play good music and (b) won't rape her at their shows. What's the best route to go with this? Or, perhaps a better question, what should I replace their album with once I delete it from her ipod?

First of all, how old is your sister? If she's young enough, it may just be a passing phase, or she may just be discovering music, at least that's my guess.

An alternative is to play similiar bands, or an even better solution - play bands that are a lot better, just as long as it's something that she'll actually like, so nothing to obscure. Other than that, that's about all I've got...

[Klatzke]

Why don't you let her figure out her own musical likes/dislikes for herself instead of plotting to sabotage her Ipod or whatever you were planning on doing? The way I see it (and this is me being selfish), the fewer youngins listening to the music I like = less of them to deal with at concerts

It's okay, I wasn't going to rec her ATL anyway.

[MADSTA]

I tried to do that with my brothers. Now one thinks Bullet For My Valentine and Three Days Grace are awesome, and the other worships MCR.

[zaron5551]

might i suggest The Matches

put some scary shit on her ipod.

Or if she is really into electronic stuff (if that's what Metro Station is considered) try Shiny Toy Guns or maybe PlayRadioPlay.

what's bad is there are people at my high school that love metro station and trace's ugly ass. =\ that LJ story is hilarious though. sad, but hilarious. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? Metro station? Billy Ray Cyrus? HANNAH MONTANNA?!"

also, I concur with people who said stuff like taking back sunday and brand new... that's how I got into better music. I'd also like to suggest alkaline trio, dunno if she'll be into it since it's a lot 'darker' so you might want to wait until later, but it won't take as long as some bands I'm sure.

also, for pop punk, mr t experience and the queers.

[thesafeword]

^ No. I honestly think they're in the same boat as Metro Station.

[Machu505]

i know you'd disagree, but FTSK would be a good rec for her. :shrug:

Haha that's not much of a step up.

[handlikesecret]

Haha that's not much of a step up.
i heartily disagree. especially if she's into that genre, FTSK's a pretty solid band. the song writing itself is better, and more creative. (this is all as far as power pop goes.) the musicianship is better, simply due to the fact that FTSK doesn't use nearly as much effects as Metro Station. even the lyrics aren't quite as horrible.

but again, i'm not saying FTSK is the most original band out there, but within the modern power-pop scene, i'm pretty sure they're a step up from Metro Station.

[Machu505]

i heartily disagree.

Well you can suck it. :efu:

like i was a die-hard, super friggin fan. but then i just kinda changed and listened to music for substance. and they dont have that much of it.
i still love those guys to death, i just dont listen to SW,IR anymore.
Put Up Or Shut Up is great though.

give her a list of myspaces and be like, "yo peep this shit."

Exactly, I'm 13 and I would much rather my little brother be listening to The Police, Blake Lewis, Nickelback and Batman soundtracks than Anberlin, Death Cab and BFMV. It would not be fun having to take him to an Anberlin concert or have him running around singing my favorite songs.

My 14 year old niece came to me today rocking Paramore on her iPod today. I kicked her in the teeth, tied her up in that creepy old neighbor guy's basement, beat her with a stack of Rumours vinyl and a telephone book and forced her to listen to Blonde on Blonde and This Year's Model over and over.

I'd try to get her away from the pop-punk esque stuff and into other genres. You could probably give her some early Brand New or something to satisfy her for now, but try to push her towards other genres so she'll be more well-rounded. Just a thought.

You're not doing it right. Assault, kidnap, and pedophiles are the only way to save this generation, man. What, do you want the kids to actually, I don't know, listen to music written, produced and marketed for kids? Are you fucking crazy? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY!!! Look what you made me do, you made me TYPE IN BOLD BECAUSE I'm SO XXXTREMEXXXLY MADCORE!!!

Gotcha. You should tell someone. What he did to you behind the bleachers was not part of Advanced Algebra...I know, I know, he told you it was necessary to get the grade. He's lying. He didn't even work there.

If ever you meet five miles away at Motel 8 for daily fieldtrips, then it might not be on the up-and-up, kid.

[LamarVannoy]

Yeah there's no excuse to have bad music taste at 14. I've been listening to the same kind of stuff since I was 10 or 11, and am almost 18.
you couldnt have been listening to the same music since you were 10 because MCR didnt even exist 8 years ago.

[SanePsychotic]

He said same kind of stuff, the the exact same stuff. Reading is important. :nod:

[alltimelove]

Exactly, I'm 13 and I would much rather my little brother be listening to The Police, Blake Lewis, Nickelback and Batman soundtracks than Anberlin, Death Cab and BFMV. It would not be fun having to take him to an Anberlin concert or have him running around singing my favorite songs.


I was referring to 13 year olds...



Jk ;-)

[IWasaCamera]

You make it sound like it's a crime to like music that isn't up to par with your standards.
Good thing his standards are remarkably low then.

:appl:

[sugarcoatedlies]

What about Hawthorne Heights? They are really nice and they are good guys. Their music is amazing too!

They're great guys, they make decent music. Yet, since his sitsre likes Metro Station, i doubt she'd like HH.

[IWasaCamera]

sitsre
Damn, this is an impressive typo.

[versus_god]

Hawthorne Heights' music is nowhere near decent.

[WhiteLies.]

Just get her on AP. Several different genres are discussed and it's a place I would have loved to know about at her age.
Truth. I would still be listening to all of the shitty scene bands like Silverstein, blessthefall, The Devil Wears Prada, etc if I hadn't found this place.

why do people think that 14 year olds always listen to "bad" music?
i understand if it's a 14 year old teenie, who likes bands because the members are hot and the band is cool. i dont like them either.

but, some 14 year olds have, you know, maturity and listen to "not cool" bands.
i'm not necessarily saying it's ME, because i dont consider myself a mature person, at all, but assumptions like that are pretty stupid.

there are 14 year olds out there that might listen to good music, or want to listen to good music, but its almost like peopel are saying "oh, you're 14. listen to bad music, you're supposed to. save the good stuff for us."

^THAT BEING SAID,
i think you should get your sister a copy of AP magazine.
and forget about metro station raping her at a show.
the pedophiles there will do that.

That's because 14 year olds generally tend to listen to bad music.

And AP magazine? :lol:

[BrittanyIsWhack]

They're great guys, they make decent music. Yet, since his sitsre likes Metro Station, i doubt she'd like HH.

It's possible. My 14 year old cousin went from Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes to Underoath and Atreyu.

[guitarpickheart]

What's wrong with The Police and Batman?

I just don't like Sting's voice, and I'm sick of Batman.

How the hell do The Police and Nickelback fall in the same boat? And what does BFMV stand for? I can't get it.[/quote]

Because they both annoy me :-) and BFMV= Bullet For My Valentine.

[guitarpickheart]

You're a youngin' and you listen to shitty music and we don't want you at our concerts.

OK. Thank you.

[guitarpickheart]

That's because 14 year olds generally tend to listen to bad music.

And AP magazine? :lol:

I swear there were 5 articles about Metro Station and Cute Is What We Aim For in the last AP issue. I only picked it up because it had Warped Tour on the cover and I wanted to see if it had anything about Anberlin. They mentioned Anberlin twice and once their name was spelled "Anderlin". X-)

[Jumpoff]

It's possible. My 14 year old cousin went from Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes to Underoath and Atreyu.

Wow. I'm sorry for your loss. That's one hell of a drop. :-(

Lmao.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

he viewed it as me trying to push music onto him which pushed him even further into the direction of throwaway radio rock. of course, this was when he was 15 and in that typical teenage "fuck everything i'll do what i want" phase.

That's ironic, that stage promotes every thing but radio garbage.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

I can also say I am an example of a 14 year old who doesn't like cock rock.

End of discussion.

So my sister likes Good Charlotte and the Plain White T's, and she wants new music. What do I give her?

[BrittanyIsWhack]

Not true.

New music as in what? The same type of stuff she is listening to right now or like totally different stuff? Does she want to go to heavier or lighter music?

Tons and tons of indie-pop bands since 15 year-olds seem to be hopping all over that bandwagon and when she finally decides to seek out meaningful music, stuff like Nick Drake, Iron & Wine, Will Oldham, etc.

Uhh she's 11 and refuses to listen to almost anything that doesn't have synth in it.

[IWasaCamera]

Uhh she's 11 and refuses to listen to almost anything that doesn't have synth in it.
My bad, should have asked for her age I suppose. The Beatles and The Zombies then?

[teenagetwilight]

Actually you really shouldn't complain about her musical taste. Come to my country and let's see which 14 year old teenies really aren't into decent music and should grow up quickly.

New Found Glory are DAMN respectable and DAMN catchy. Try them.

[teenagetwilight]

It's possible. My 14 year old cousin went from Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes to Underoath and Atreyu.

big loss.

[TSHLuis]

...and I need to get her into bands that (a) play good music and (b) won't rape her at their shows. What's the best route to go with this? Or, perhaps a better question, what should I replace their album with once I delete it from her ipod?


dude is your avatar "powerline" from a goofy movie.
if so, you win the internet game.

[BrittanyIsWhack]

Uhh she's 11 and refuses to listen to almost anything that doesn't have synth in it.

Umm.. My little sisters are about her age and they listen to Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, Panic At the Disco, and a bunch of that stuff. Has she tried listening to them?

that sucks. My sister's 13 almost 14 so I'm hoping she's not into that stage quite yet.
your sister sounds like my sister. and mine likes Metro Station too, but atleast she thinks Trace is fucking gross.

[HelpMeSleep]

dude is your avatar "powerline" from a goofy movie.

That's what i thought when i saw it. I love that movie and i love Powerline in it haha.

[thingschange]

get your sister to watch the OC and see if she picks up on the music in it.

[fly_guy]

I just realized that this band closely resembles Fall Out Boy. The lead singer is fat and is the second most popular. And trace is the douchebag that all the little girls love.

I don't know if this was already said but I would think The Rocket Summer. No one can resist those sugary hooks. And maybe some We Shot The Moon, The Morning Light, and/or Relient K. Also, I'm sure she'd love The Maine and while they aren't amazing they are definitely a step up from Metro Station.

I can.

[jacnrh]

I can.
You mustn't have a heart then. You also must hate things like kittens, lollipops, s'mores, and playgrounds. I've never met anyone in person who truly cannot stand The Rocket Summer, you just have to let yourself go and have some fun with it.

[thesafeword]

Actually my reason for hating them is because they sound like so many other bands and their in their 'hit' song, So Much Love, the lyrics are shit and the video just pisses me off so much. I'm not telling you what to listen to, I'm just saying that they pretty much fucking suck.

Let Metro Station rape her for listening to shitty music.

[Neo Cassady]

Let Metro Station rape her for listening to shitty music.

No. GTFO of my thread.

edit: I've realized in the 3 months since I made this that it doesn't matter; she's at the age where taking social advice from anyone but her close group of friends simply doesn't happen.

[Burn That Shit]

And that's why rape is inevitable and will entail her listening to metro station.

Let Metro Station rape her for listening to shitty music.
