Family

Family music emerged in the late 1960s, primarily in the UK, when artists decided it was high time to slap together a bit of rock, pop, and a dash of whimsy for the amusement of both children and their less-than-stoked parents. It typically features cheerful melodies with lyrics about everyday adventures, ensuring that no one under the age of ten feels left out of rock 'n' roll, whilst also making adults question their life choices. Some might argue it's the musical equivalent of putting on a clown nose at a funeral, but it does come with the undeniable charm of a family sing-along that can clear any post-dinner table fights about the washing-up duties.
