How many people here weren't allowed to listen to secular music as a child?

[DocumentaLy]

I just thought about this because moemoe said he wasn't. I wasn't allowed to either. Neither was Twinblades.

 

I did sneak and listen to it sometimes though.

[Guest Kami_removed]

I was allowed

[Kpopalypse]

I wasn't allowed to listen to religious music as a child.

 

When a friend of mine invited me to a church meet my parents were like "you stay away from that kid, religion is brainwashing".

[LickingTape]

It was fine with my parents. Infact I sometimes look back at the stuff I would listen to and wonder why it was okay with my mum.

[SunnyHill's Comeback]

I was always allowed to.

 

I had two older brothers who listened to rap so I listened to it too, and I came from a religious family.

[gayness]

got examples?

 

nvm. 

[Taku]

You poor souls ;A; .

 

I was a Spice Girls maniac during my years as a toddler. And before that I used to listened to 90's Vietnamese music. 

 

My family was (and still is) Roman Catholic, but thankfully not to the extent as some families. 

[SeeYaWithYou]

Were you only allowed to listen to hymns and stuff or were you allowed to listen to general gospel music and the like too?

[mglsts]

Really? That must have sucked.

I've always listened to what I wanted.

[saekutoxxx]

most of the secular music kids would listen to was in english...and most of us didn't speak it or understand it so yeah, we did.

[SaiELF15]

mmmm it depended on the song.. I couldnt listen to Nelly's  Hot In Here...

 

 

 

I did anyway.

As long as it was based around God it was fine.

[SchoolNote]

I kinda was and wasn't.

 

If it had a lot of explicit language with suggestive themes then no I could not.

[Seulo]

No but I know people like that. I feel bad for them

[Ogre Shrek]

Seriously?   I thought these kind of things only happened in the movies (thinking of "The Village") 

 

Hmm, moemoe, you, Twinblades.  Pattern?

90'S VIET MUSIC WAS DAAAA BEST.

[denizen mars]

I was encouraged to only listen to classical music because my mother wanted me to be a classical pianist. I went along with this fairly happily.

I wasn't explicitly 'not allowed' to listen to pop, but my mom hated it and there was only one stereo in the house so I was never really exposed to it until I was 13 and got a beat up old radio/cassette player at a rummage sale and started listening to top 40 incessantly.

It's quite common. I've met quite a few people like this.

 

And pattern? I don't see one.

[Nanallah]

My mom is Christian but I was always allowed to listen to secular music. My mom is so cool.

[Perfect Chaos]

lol i come from a super religious family and i grew up on that "secular" music. 

 

i feel bad for the people who had strict families.

[bananabrows]

I listened to whatever I wanted, as long as it wasn't inappropriate. But at that age, I was listening to like.. Radio Disney or something like that, so it didn't really matter. 

[Skibop!!]

My mom being really religious tried to discourage us, but my dad is secular so he didn't give a fuck lol so in the end, we listened. My mom just hates when there's cuss words. If we're listening to the radio and someone curses, she's like "nuh uh uh- they said what?!" and makes us change the station 

[TidalWave234]

wow really? only rap was outlawed in my house as a kid

sucks cause my younger siblings get a pass now

 

EDIT: well were aren't a religious family so i guess that explains it?

[DocumentaLy]

Yeah, my younger siblings don't have to go by these rules now. It really only applied to me and my sister who's around my age.

[Ada]

I never had a restriction from listening to music.
