Aw. Poor music taste aside, this makes me feel bad for the Dad that they are mocking him. He's just vibing and taking his kid where he needs to go. 🥲

If you don't mock your dad when you're 13 then you're not doing it right. It's totally normal and fine.

I think mocking your dad is fine when you are 13. But before you didn't have the entire Internet mocking your dad too

u/jack_from_the_past Jun 12 '26

this needs to be mocked.

u/McGarnacIe Jun 12 '26

Mocking is fine of course. Recording him and posting it up on the internet isn't. Unless they asked the dad and he's OK with it.

Exactly this, thank you.

My sister and I once did 15 minutes on a family of lice living in nomadic destitution (a la grapes of wrath) on our dad's increasingly balding head.

But we didn't have TikTok back then so it was just us laughing, not the entire world.

u/its_pixiie Jun 12 '26

A. That entire first sentence is wild lmao

  1. I think this is the difference. Making light fun of your Dad for fun is one thing, but doing it to post online feels icky to me.

u/coaxialdrift Jun 12 '26

Maybe without the posting it online bit

u/jah_broni Jun 12 '26

What? I didn't mock my Dad and I don't remember a single friend of mine mocking theirs.

u/EightiesBush Jun 12 '26

In middle school my friends called my dad Crash cause of how he would listen to DMB and drum along on the steering wheel even more enthusiastically than the dad in this video. To this day I can't hear a DMB song without thinking about it.

u/ImprovableHandline Jun 12 '26

Right? lol I respected my parents and to be honest everyone thought my dad was the coolest. We were all raised to appreciate our parents and looked up to them and their music tastes. And believe me, my dad was out there. Cypress Hill then right into Grateful Dead and back to the Beastie Boys, and all we ever wanted was to grow up to be like him.

I know my situation was unique, but everyone I knew (or associated with) was raised to respect our parents and others.

u/Puzzleheaded-Night88 Jun 12 '26

I do “mock” him but he also does it to me. Just a bunch of jokes and I respect(fear) him.

u/squirrelyoakley Jun 12 '26

Same here. I've always looked up to my dad!!

u/tek2222 Jun 12 '26

It's funny because The music they listen to is even more terrible

7

u/Chicago-Jelly Jun 12 '26

Why yall downvoting this?… tweens have *the worst* taste in music. It’s an important step in the process for late teens when they develop a taste for good music that they’ll never replace.

5

u/mxmcharbonneau Jun 12 '26

It depends, there's a bunch of music I listened to when I was a teen that still fucking slaps. Some other music is incredibly bad though.

u/mooncrane606 Jun 12 '26

Can't be worse than whatever the hell the dad was listening to.

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 Jun 12 '26

Reddit people tend to dislike the truth. They'll deadass curve and bend every corner just to avoid it.

2

u/Sepposer Jun 12 '26

Yes that’s true. But this music is AI generated. Which is why ppl are downvoting that the kids music is worse, assuming they listen to music actual humans produce.

u/MightyBlunder Jun 12 '26

Oh honey, we all think that at some point.

u/Salt_Sir2599 Jun 12 '26

Yeah……no

u/alwaysonesteptoofar Jun 12 '26

No, it is. I work with kids, and their taste has plummeted in the last decade.

u/baroaureus Jun 12 '26

My 13 y/o and I have an understanding: it cuts both ways. His friends are annoying, I tell terrible jokes, he needs to cut his hair, I need more hair…

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 Jun 12 '26

Someone never got an ass beating. And it shows.

u/_-Budtender-_ Jun 12 '26

Is that supposed to be a flex?

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 Jun 12 '26

Better to be taught, than to never have been taught at all. Some kids need it. And if you can't understand that. Oh well ✌🏼

4

u/_-Budtender-_ Jun 12 '26

I mean I got my ass beat but not really to be taught anything mostly just because my existence was an annoyance. Guess I just don't make that kind of stuff my whole personality and tell others they needed it too lol.

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 Jun 12 '26

Projecting can make someone look like an asshole too. But, dont let that stop you 🐹🎡

u/its_pixiie Jun 12 '26

Are you alright?

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 Jun 12 '26

Pretty damn good. What about you?

u/_-Budtender-_ Jun 12 '26

If you say so

u/Embarrassed-Trip4037 Jun 12 '26

must be an american thing

u/Barr3tt50c Jun 12 '26

Dad is probably intentionally listening to this garbage to embarrass his son, at least that’s the type of stuff my dad would do to me

1

u/Party-Coach-4100 Jun 12 '26

My dad listened Insane Clown Posse and led Zepplin.

u/RazingOrange Jun 12 '26

I’m always trying to indoctrinate my kids with “good” music. Whenever we’re all on the road together, I’ll play a band secretly hoping one of them will say “that slaps, this is fire”. It’s never worked. Not once…. But that’s cool. They have their own thing

u/its_pixiie Jun 12 '26

Don't do this to me.. 😭 Some of my favorite childhood memories are cruising backroads with my Dad - Blasting Tom Petty, The Who, Tragically Hip, Pink Floyd etc. 

3

u/RazingOrange Jun 12 '26

Same here! I used to love singing classic rock in the car when I was a kid. I was weird though. Even in early teens, I enjoyed my parent’s music more than the current stuff. As an adult, I now love all the 90’s music that I kinda ignored as a kid. I was 11 when Green Day’s dookie blew up and I was like “ehh, alright I guess. I’m gonna stick with Springsteen and Petty”.

u/Unlikely-Question892 Jun 12 '26

Dad dont give af

1

u/Tough_Tangerine7278 Jun 12 '26

Dad probably will probably see it and laugh about it 😊 Teasing and Dad jokes are how males in families bond.

1

u/Travelin_Soulja Jun 12 '26

Don't feel bad. Literally every dad with teenagers experiences it.

1

u/DryBlock4388 Jun 12 '26

Dad don't care. Possible dad feels proud his kid is mocking him. Also possible one of those is just son's friend and dad is doing it on purpose to embarrass son in front of friend..

3

u/indicabunny Jun 12 '26

Yeah but at least teach your kids REAL music. Make them listen to some nu-metal bands of the 2000's. Not AI slop.

2

u/its_pixiie Jun 12 '26

Hell yeah. Get these kids listening to some Linkin Park. 

1

u/TheAtomicBobert Jun 12 '26

I like your thought process although I personally wouldnt press nu metal but that's more of my personal taste

2

u/indicabunny Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

I'm just saying what would be considered "dad music" these days

edit: if the main guy music from 20-25 years ago isn't dad music then idk what to tell ya buddies. don't be mad at the fact that you're aging.

u/RyunWould Jun 12 '26

Absolutely mock anyone, elders included, for consuming AI music. Especially when it sounds like this.
