I’d name the punk rock band my good childhood friend is the drummer for but I don’t know how the name would be received in this space. I will say he used to be in a local Paducah band named Teenage Rehab.
So, if punk rock and the like used to be (and still are, to an extend) a way to rebel against conservative parents, what would be a way to rebel against punk parents? Listening to Mozart or getting violin to play? Hard core acapella a’la Hildegard von Bingen?
The opposite of punk rock is self-indulgent folk, like Fairport Convention, or overwrought prog rock like ELP or the weirder stuff from Genesis maybe early Leonard Cohen.
Kids can be weird about music. Some completely rebel against what their parents like while others really like what their parents listen to. I grew up listening to genre like soundtracks (with or without lyrics), big band, classic rock, concert/symphonic band music and pop. I still like soundtrack music, like from video games, movies or Two Steps From Hell. I think the internet has made it so easy for everyone to access all types and genres of music that popular music doesn’t mean as much as it did in the 1950s or earlier, where you had limited access and could normally only listen to music the majority liked.
That being said, Selkie is lucky, because I would be inclined to find weird music from this century (like yodeling or musical music, but I would prefer throat singing), or every time she complains I go back another century. Might end up with gregorian chants before she finally realizes. But I take after my grandpa, who drove around with the windows down blaring classical music on the radio in a parking lot at night when I was a child because he was annoyed by the teenagers blaring their music at volume levels loud enough to make everyone deaf.
The only reason why she would love Siouxie and the Banshees is the fact that they are awesome.
I’m surprised she didn’t take the lead on punk rock
Out of context, that second panel would launch so many slashfics. Especially without the words. Those are some fine bedroom eyes Avery’s got.

…Now I can’t help but imagine teenage Selkie and Amanda singing an opera duet just to spite their parents.
“Young Lady, get rid of that sweater vest right now! And you are getting a Mohawk! Do you want employers to take you seriously?!”

Lmao my sibs and I grew up with rock-loving parents and this is basically what we listened to.
Musicals.
