Okay, so I was listening to a Death Cab For Cutie song, called "I'll Follow You Into the Dark", the other day. My mom isn't exactly "down" with all of the hip-hop music I used to listen to, but she at least liked (and understood) some of it. But now that I listen to Death Metal, Electro, Industrial, modern Rock, (some) Punk and Scott, Hardcore Metal, and New Wave - more than hip-hop, rap, and R&B - she looks at me like I'm crazy.
Anyway, she said, "How can you listen to this stuff?". I thought that she was still on her "rock and acoustic songs are for white people; hip-hop and rap is for black people" thing, but she was talking about this song in particular. She then said that the song is "depressing" and that it's about "failing in life". Ironically, I was now the one looking at her like she was crazy. If you listen to the lyrics of the song, it's more about love...I don't know what she was talking about.
Okay, so here is the point of this: Do your parents (Guardian, whoever) understand your tastes in music or the songs that you listen to? Do they like what you like, or do they think that you're crazy for your musical interests?
