My kids listen to the same music, go to the same movies, but it’s entertainment, it’s not something that they internalize as a way to live their lives. I listened to the hippy music, read about Woodstock and the free sex/drugs/rock and roll generation, but it certainly didn’t influence me to adopt that lifestyle. If the family is morally/ideologically centered, i do not believe that many kids can be brainwashed, or influenced away from that ideology. I talked to my kids about morals EARLY. i would talk about the song that would come on the radio, the tv show that we just watched and what was wrong with the way it portrayed life, sex, etc. my feeling is that if you don’t provide a moral framework, then they will absorb the morality of popular culture, which means NO morality. IF you permit a vacuum to be created, then the popular culture will BECOME their morality. I think far too many parents, including freepers, just go along blithely without doing the indepth and intense education of moral/political philosophy and then are surprised when their kids go AWOL.
I think you were fortunate not to be corrupted. Good luck.
