Stay Cool Dad

It seems that when you reach a certain age in life, the way you consume popular culture – and especially music – changes. All of a sudden ‘Greatest Hits’ albums of the bands you liked in your youth seem attractive. And you stop listening to new stuff.

I do not want this to happen to me, because I worry that if it does I will be completely out of touch with the music and culture my kids grow into.

Hence Stay Cool Dad. I want to stay cool. I also hope that by offering a place where parents can discuss the popular culture they like and the stuff their kids consume, that we can create a resource that means we understand what our kids are consuming, rather than just having a textbook moral panic about it or dismissing it as “just noise.”

Join in! It’ll only work if you do!
