How Young is too young?
Skibas_clavicle:
Sweet.
This forum makes me think of what I was listening to in grade 7.....Fatboy Slim, Crystal Method, random 60's/70's rock, and of course local radio-pop. I wish someone had given ME a My Bloody Valentire or Pixies cd when I was 12. Damn, that would have rocked.
I dunno, your cousin appears to be into the "punk rawk". I suggest giving her some of the poppier punk things, Alkaline Trio, Dear You era Jawbreaker or Rocket From The Crypt. You also can't go wrong with Metric, Built To Spill or Sebadoh. I think if you delve to into the indie spectrum, you'll loose a 12-year-olds attention. You want something catchy.

Okay that was definitely me except get rid of Simple Plan and replace it with Sum 41 and then get rid of Good Charlotte and replace it with NoFX. Therefore I agree with Skibas, but I also add in Pixies, Interpol (that's what made me a convert to indie) and Death From Above 1979. Then slowly ease her towards both mellower stuff and harder-rockin' stuff. Perfect.

are we talking about musical jailbait?...hmmm JoJo...ermmm never mind but don't anyone say they didn't think of that too when they saw the thread title...i think it would be a better idea to start her on a few mix tapes...put on some stuff she likes and stuff you think she should like...so the better good charlotte and green day songs (was that a contradiction in terms?) and some arcade fire and cool stuff but make sure she'll like it too and want to hear more...love will tear us apart by joy division would be a must for the mix though
MrTeapot:
How about before you shove a load of bands under her nose send her to the basics. Good call for a Pavement album, but also maybe show her some of the good old stuff. She might like The Who if she's into Good Charlotte, ease her onto the Led Zep when she's ready and then bring her into the indie scene.
La Creme:
My brother made a big mistake getting me into music. Him and this kid Shane Yates (who got me into bad metal in 6th grade). I now completely own my brother at knowledgability of music. Poor bugger. I'd say wait a bit before you introduce her to stuff. THese things usually sort themselves out.
I'd say the Shins are the near best choice. If you want to slowly bridge her away from crappy pop-punk, a good band would be the Dandy Warhols. Just make sure she doesn't get into Dandy's "bohemian" mythos. You don't want a little meth-addicted little cousin listening to godless wihle she's shooting up cheap heroin...
