heh, good ones above^
Punk rock was generally a turn-it-down-target. My pop would get a frowny face and ask lots of questions about some of the punk music/images/lyrics from time to time. It was easier to deal with it by just not playing it when they could hear it.
On the other hand, my parents were also cool in that they knew it was just music. My younger brother got into Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, early Metallica, etc. The imagery, lyrics, and music kind of threw my parents for a loop, but they would just ask questions like "do you know what they are really singing about?" or the like. And they'd see that neither of us turned out to be axe muderers or gov't overthrowers, and they knew it was just music.
