5 year-old-boy obsessed with Kraftwerk, says parent

My oldest at the age of 4 yelled “Patsy Cline” every time we got into the car. That cassette got played a lot.

My youngest daughter went through a serious heavy metal phase when she was 4. It was pretty much the only music she wanted to listen to for a while. Six (long-ish) months later she was done with it.

every time Numbers comes on OP should teach him to pop-lock.

Good for him. Fun songs are all I listen to these days. And P.G. Wodehouse. And Sarah Millican. Anything to blot out the news (i.e., all of 2020).

It’s always interesting to learn how children react to their parent’s preferred music. Years back my best friend told me of his 8 year old daughter’s reaction to ELP’s Toccata. She called it, “the scary music”. She did like Battles Atlas, though… perhaps because it’s pretty much stomp music; nice and bouncy.

Give him a synthesizer, like the Korg Volca series, or much better a full fledged instrument (possibly old and full of knobs), then show him a few videos about syntesizers. He will figure out the rest.

I love Kraftwerk. Seen them live twice. If I had to listen to one band, it would be them. I never tire of it.

Things from my home office I will miss when I return to the workplace: appropriate art and synths.

Which, for me, and as soon as an organ comes in, is at the first note.

I think this sounds like a really good idea. Or even just a Stylophone.

Does anyone make one with a volume remote? :slight_smile:

Seems reasonable.

Don’t let him know somebody has created a Kraftwerk album art world in VRChat where you can listen to the music in the album art:

Having your kid obsessed with Kraftwerk at the age of 5 is just good parenting. In fact, if your kid is NOT obsessed with Kraftwerk, then you’ve probably failed as a parent.
