baby chav

[Immi666]

my baby sister has a horrible habit of singing icky chav songs. anyone know of any nonchav music i can tie her down and force her to listen to? she's only 9, so i wanna keep it simple.

my 8 year old daughter went through the chav music thing i found beating her with american idiot did the trick she is now a green day fan! didn't really beat her but because it has idiot in the song she liked it also try panic at the disco, good luck.
p.s. did you know that vogue have proclaimed that every thing chav will be fashionable next year!!!!!

Depends how old your own personal taste is, but my 8 year old son goes to bed listening to either Queen's Greatest hits, or David Bowie's GHs. He thinks all R&B and Rap music is tosh.

That's my boy.....

Aagh! Someone please refer this old, childless crone to the proper Web site so I may learn of this "chav music."

I think your sister needs to remain contemporary. I'm afraid at the moment that's Lily Allen and Co.
Why not try to introduce her to other types. Its better to have an eclectic taste than to be completely adverse to one particular style.
Also bear in mind that even if she listens to other music with you, she's going to revert to her chav ways when she's with friends. You need to accept that theres only so much you can do.

a bit of iron maiden or metallica should do the trick. it worked for me.

It's clear to me that children of an impressionable age should be given a very intense lecture once a week on what they should and should not be listening to. A little girl of 9 should be well versed in everything from Billie Holiday to Napalm Death, and be able to put forward cogent arguments about the enforced sterilisation of anyone who listens to Euro-trance or commercial R'nB. With an absence of supprot from the wider public though, I will have to tone down my revolution.

Female role models, that's the way forward. Even Madonna and Lily Allen's alright really. Get her on Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Howling Bells, and Cansei de Ser Sexei.

Failing that turn her into a goth or emo kid. They always come round eventually.

My 5 yr old son loves indie because I do. Hes also a tad emo but thats just fine with me too. He prefers the slightly more kiddie friendly bands like the kooks, automatic, razorlight and bless him fall out boy. He hates chav music but then thats cause it just isnt allowed.

[admarlow]

I think the Kooks, Artic Monkeys and the Kaiser Chiefs would be 9 year old non- chav alternatives

what about the Fratellis?
