How Young is too young?

KharBevNor:
If you kidnap her, will she stop nicking my Ephel Duath shirt?

Merkava:

--- Quote from: StarlightRecycler ---Yes but I was thinking that good charlotte and simple plan are all pop-punk which will lead to punk.
Whereas Maroon 5 is a little more.. upbeaty pop, I'm kinda cool with the world... And could lead to things like the Shins.
Fuck I have no idea actually... I just can't see my cousin being into punk.

Try The Walkmen, The Shins, We Have The Facts-era Death Cab, and Change-era Dismemberment Plan as starters.

Druid:

--- Quote from: La Creme ---DO NOT introduce her to Stereolab yet. I love 'em my own self, but that'll baffle the shit out of a 12 year old who listens to pop-punk.

Maybe, I was big into punk when I first heard them and like them, so I don't see how it could be the worst choice that could be made.

Then again she maybe looking for a something to challege her which is all smart kids want really. It does seem kind of condescending to say that she wouldn't get something just because she is twelve. (Granted the angstier stuff she won't get because she's not old enough to be angsty, but I wouldn't want to expose someone that young to that sort of thing anyway.)

Also some more suggetions...
the Breeders (Last Splash)
Superchunk (The production may turn her off)
Sunny Day Real Estate (Diary)
Jawbox

heretic:
she's twelve. she is not a peer. it is not condescending to think that she would have a limited appreciation of music.

It is a bit. I liked the Velvet Underground when I was that age, and I've got a friend who was big on stuff like Boris and Southern Lord bands when he was a kid.
