When your sister brings up Evanescence's "raunchiness" again, just say something along the lines of, "At least they're not singing about fucking someone with a knife."

That might shut her up.

Will do, will do

As well, at least they're not singing about going around shooting people,
and or stabbing them to death.
This is all coming out of Amy's heart and soul, and it couldn't be anymore closer to the truth.
Some people just don't understand it, like Ev has always said, they are
misunderstood alot.
Maybe people should read their lyrics, and find out what they are really
all about, instead of just assuming bullshit.

My Mother thinks that evanescence are way too gothic and i should listen to other music, but my dad an my maths teacher(i know he doesnt belong to my family; ) )think that amy is hot and they also like the songs of evanescence .

My parents absolutely HATE them! They think that its garbage, and that its GOTH and I shouldn't listen to that trash! They say "Garbage in, garbage out." But it's NOT GARBAGE!!! They think that since I listen to that genre of music, its affecting my to be (or at least want to be) Goth. And they won't let me dress how I want to (in all black) cause of how I think, the books I read, the things I watch, and the music I listen to, etc. They REALLY hate "Lithium", cause its a drug. But they don't even know the song's interpretation! And they think they're helping my "Gothic cause", when they're really making it worse! IT'S EATING ME ALIVE INSIDE!!!

To sum it all up, they hate Evanescence and every other band that I like (metal bands).

What do my parents think.....
well my mom asked me what music i was listening to 1 day and i told her it was Evanescence, and she said that it sounded like a brand of soap

my dad listened to it once, and ever since then he has seemed very worried about me spending too much time alone or in my room

my little brother doesn't like it, but he really doesn't care

Sweet Tigger · 06-26-2008, 03:10 AM

My family says, that it is ok, when I´m listening to this kind of music. Before that I was listening to german rock, but after a time it is boring!
It´s ok for them...
And my friends are little ev fans, too.

i'm really sorry to hear that, but your parents are probably just concerned about you because they probably don't understand what goth and Evanescence really represents. Perhaps you could change their minds though, for instance you could probably just pass some casual comments like how you would prefer to be happy and be yourself instead of being angry over how others can't accept your likings, because that's what Lithium is saying, embracing happiness instead of being fearful of it.

if you tossed around comments like that occasionally, they might see the more positive aspects of the band and stop seeing EV as "garbage".

Sorry if i'm not helping much, it's just that i do know a few kids whose parents feel the same way as yours, and i thought that i'd just put my feelings about it here.

Anyway for me, i'm getting on in years (ahem) so my parents probably assume that i'm mature enough to make my own musical choices as long as i don't suddenly start exhibiting behaviour that runs contrary to social norms ie: violence etc. They do object to me dressing in an overtly goth way, however.

My parents don't understand this music, but my Mom likes some songs like "Missing"...

Killer_Imagination · 07-24-2008, 12:23 PM

I personally couldn't give a shit what my family thinks. If they don't like it, then that's their problem. I like good music. Anyhow, my grandparents don't mind it. I live with my grandparents, by the way. My grandfather only likes certain songs and my grandmother doesn't even know who they are. It wouldn't be the first time someone didn't like something I did. I'll like whatever the fuck I want!!!
