Teen playlists vs my studio vibes. Music at home/car/studio is a battleground, and the clash of tastes couldn’t be more dramatic! While I find comfort in the soulful rhythms of Indian music and the warm nostalgia of rustic English country tunes, my 15-year-old has taken over the soundscape with blaring techno music. Let me tell you, nothing disrupts a peaceful Zentangle session like relentless beats that seem to scream, “Headache incoming!” I understand and get it—it’s their vibe, their energy—but honestly, how can anyone listen to that on repeat? It’s like competing with a robot rave while I’m trying to relax and get into a Zen mode creating my art. We’ve even negotiated “silent hours,” though they tend to bend those rules in their favor. It’s a constant push-and-pull, but somewhere between the thumping bass and my mellow melodies, we are finding a way to coexist…. **#momlifeofteenagers**
