Alison Curtis: My 10-year-old and I aren't on the same wavelength musically

"My dreams of having a little indie girl, a mini-me, seem to be evaporating before my very eyes."

Recently my daughter Joan and I got into a fight about music. Well, it wasn’t so much a fight as a strong disagreement. She is at the age, 10, whereby the same 10 songs over and over again will do. And they are 10 very similar sounding songs and not what us oldies refer to as “music.”

To me, they are just calculated and formulated songs put together to all be under 3 minutes for Spotify and have the same general vibe. I can only tell the difference between them all because I have heard them a million times blaring out of Joan’s bedroom.
