Today after school I was listening to Kerrang on the t.v because thats the only place we can get it and my Dad said to me :

Dad: It never used to be like this

Me: what?

Dad: Kerrang

Me: Oh great

Dad:it used to be all thrash metal

Me: Cool

Dad: None of this Emo stuff you listen to

Me: Excuse me?

Dad: Not like the old days is it?

Me: I wouldn't know

Dad: * big rant about how it used to be*

Me: Cool, well I can listen to what I want to and where what I want I don't need you to dictate to me what I can and can't do with my life

At this point he started a big argument and I ended up walking away from him.

Is anyone elses parents like this or is it just me?

Please let me know

Thanks :D

Awww be kind to your parent, he was feeling that old person feeling of not liking change - the classic "it's not like the old days". Not many people cope well with change after 30 - DJs are an exception, also actors and a few others whose job involves constant change - but I think your Dad was just saying something he thought was interesting and also he was a bit sad that things can't stay the same, he probably liked the old Kerrang! and now it's gone and changed on him. You took it as a personal attack on the music you like because he sounded like he was being derogatory about it. He then was hurt and suprised because he hadn't meant to attack you at all and so the argument escalated.

Thus were parent/teenager arguments always - bet even the teenaged Jesus had an argument with Joseph about new methods in carpentry or something.

When Kerrang! changed it was the right thing to do, because "adapt or die"'s especially true in the music industry, so they tell me.

Hope you've both made it up now and everything's ok :)

UM is a nice place

I can't imagine my parents knowing anything about Kerrang or emo music. My mother is completely out of touch with all aspects of 'youth culture'. My parents might say something like that about a magazine perhaps or a TV channel, but even that would be rare.

screw all this wrist slitting and hippie stuff, dad is right.

I'll have you know that not all of us emo's slit themselves and its not just wrists my friend's dad left home so she slit her hips so her mum wouldn't find out.

I think we're all just put down for no reason we're not ALWAYS depressed and some of us are never depressed. Sorry DC!

Just felt I had to put my thoughts across! :D

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
