Dear GYA, As a dad who loves dubstep, I think it's a little unfair that our kids don't invite us to more EDM shows. Who do you think pays for all these LED gloves, pacifiers and neon furry boots? DADS. Who do you think stays at home playing Skrillex ballads on the guitar while pacing around in cargo shorts? DADS. Just for once, it would be cool if these kids realized that dads love dubstep too. - Frank Pulooski, Sandy
Frank, you're right. It's a shame kids and parents aren't bonding over dubstep like they should be. Perhaps you should just go to the Skrillex show and surprise her. She'd love it! Here's the details:
