He can also argue electronic music is just button pushing while rock music takes passion and skill, and there is little you can do to show him otherwise. I'm sure at least some of us will be like that in regard to some new thing that will pop up. In the father's mind, he is totally reasonable because in his mind all of this is a waste of time. Just like a father would take someone's skate or guitar away 20-30 years ago, not realizing skating and playing the guitar is an art in itself, not just mindless entertainment for many kids.
I'm not. What you just said is a perfect example of a narrow-minded adult. It's a sad world we live in. World governments keep talking about educating young people on certain aspects of life, but perhaps it's time to move this to the next level.
