Do your parents like the music you listen to? Assessment my parents: On the whole, I don’t thing its bad. I am not into heavy RAP, but mostly the music is no worse then what I listened to when I was growing up. I don’t see any sense in warning labels on records or CDs because who reads labels anyway? Few people do.
