@KILL I'm 20, it's right at the top of my rym page.
If you check further you'd find most of the music I listen to is dad-old, so I don't think my age changes anything in this discussion.

what a bizarre label
everything being called dad rock rules
| | | Album Rating: 3.5
and no, dad rock is not a genre, it is just a pejorative word to describe popular old music that have nothing in common but been released more than 20 years ago

I never said it was a genre. But it easily could be one. It defines a certain sound, and that's all a genre needs to be.

That's the thing, I don't think there's a "certain sound" surrounding so called dad rock bands, but oh well, opinions I suppose

yea its load of shit uttered purely by the youth of today to stick it to the "man" or their dads cos thats as far as they fuckin go rebellion wise
fuck me i'm turning into zak

Dad rock bands have far more in common than krautrock bands, I don't see a problem there. Krautrock is also a pejorative term btw ("kraut" is an ethnic slur against Germans), and it doesn't prevent it from being commonly used.
Relax Kill it's just a stupid term.

I know about kraut being a pejorative term and I agree that there are many differences in krautrock bands, but I certainly find more similarities between them than I do between Nirvana and Floyd

My son is listening to a certain amount of dad-rock, but he doesn't adhere to it much. But I don't listen to his metal and modern stuff cos I'm totally into the dad-rock's first generation, and it's impregnated in me, and I live well with it..

I've tried hard to get into DT, SOAD, Symphony X, old Opeth, Mastodon, Mr Bungle, Faith No More, stoner rock, thrash metal and stuff, but it seems I can stand most of tha metulz at a little dose only and not for too long each either.
But long live Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Drake, CCR, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, U2, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, The Police, Dire Straits, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Talking Heads, Deep Purple, David Bowie, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and all those I'm missing plus oc most of the 70's music including prog rock in general as you know it.
I think there's a serious gap between the two styles, They're so different that I can barely connect these two worlds together, but like I said, I tried hard. - A true dad-rocker.

I definitely prefer old stuff too, but I try that at least one out of three new albums I check to be a relatively modern release and I definitely won't close my door to any newer genre
Sometimes I haven't been impressed by modern bands but I've also found some awesome gems, so I'm okay
| | | Album Rating: 5.0
Same here, I keep my eyes opened for more modern stuff, as long as the genre sounds cool to my ears, e.g. I'm interested in post rock, but not in post metal anymore. It seems that the modern stuff I'm fond of has to be inspired a minimum by the 70's to fully appreciate.

I can still see the magic in metal, though it is difficult to me, I can like some of its extreme subgenres (though it is hard for me to get past bands with growling vocals), I can also really enjoy electronic music or hip hop
probably the only kind of stuff I really have trouble with is stuff like noise or drone music which I still don't get
| | | Album Rating: 5.0
Personally, I used to approach indie rock a lot, but I finally found there are lots of crap into it. But again, If the band is inspired from the 70's I'm wide open for it. The Decemberists, Built to Spill, Silversun Pickups are good examples. They're all great and influenced by the 70's. But probably because I'm far to dig the whole genre, I tend to neglect those I like among them.
The genres that give me trouble are like you, noise, drone, but also post-hardcore and derivates,
hip-hop, trip-hop, shoegaze, and a quantity of metal sub-genres. But I love a good load of good riffs I confess.
Edit; And yes, electronic, ambient can be appealing to me.
