10 Bands That Proved We Didn't Care About Your Rules Mom
By Matt | Dec 01, 2017
One of the best ways to create mystique around your music as an artist is to piss off the parents of middle America, because as soon as kids are told they can't enjoy something, it makes them want to enjoy it all the more. In the case of these 10 bands, we definitely needed to listen to them with our boomboxes turned down REALLY low when we were at home.
The poster boy for musical controversy in the 90s terrified parents in a way that few artists could ever dream of, and he had the record sales to prove it.
Snoop might seem like your quaint rap uncle these days, but once upon a time he was on trial for murder and terrorizing parents through the boomboxes of suburban kids everywhere.
When a band really, really loves writing songs about things like war and Satan, you're probably not gonna find them on a list of bands accepted by your local church.
The Real Slim Shady was just a little too real for a lot of adults, who were mortified that their kids were listening to him.
These next few artists used to really drive our folks nuts...
Xtina was fair game for a lot of people for a while, but as soon as "Dirrty" hit the airwaves and music channels, parents changed their tune VERY quickly.
Fred Durst and company were crude and rude at the best of times, and the adults in our lives HATED them for it.
Daphne & Celeste
While these two were ultimately kind of a blip on the radar, "U.G.L.Y." was a big hit, but our folks thought we were being way too mean to people by singing it.
A band is probably not going to endear themselves to your folks when they have lyrics like "F*** you, I won't do what you tell me!"
He rapped about guns, drugs, women, and the thug life. Did you honestly think you wouldn't get in trouble for listening to his stuff?
The biggest metal band of the 90s (and possibly all time) were dominating the charts, which of course brought their existence to the attention of tons of people who didn't like their tough-guy attitudes.
What music did you get in trouble for listening to?

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen.

The Spice Girls Announced Their Reunion Tour Dates And We Really 'Wannabe' There
It's been months and months of a "will they or won't they" debate, but we've finally got some concrete details about the Spice Girls reunion tour.

The Tragic Story Behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", Now Those Involved Reveal What Happened
Pearl Jam is one of those iconic 90s bands that everyone remembers hearing. They were edgier than the popular music, instead fitting in alongside Nirvana in the grunge style of music that was becoming popular. Like Nirvana, Pearl Jam originated from Seattle. The band has remained extremely successful in the years since its inception, but one song they wrote definitely brought the band to the attention of a lot more people. In 1992, their song "Jeremy" was released as a part of their debut album. The song was their first foray into more story-driven lyrics, but a lot of people
