Growing up with a dad like Jason Momoa, known for his tattoos, motorcycle rides, metal band bass playing, and rubbing elbows with rock stars, how does one express teenage angst? In the case of Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, the son of Jason and Lisa Bonet, turning to the Backstreet Boys seems like the perfect rebellion. Jason, a star in his own right, shared his son’s popstar preference during an episode of Track Star.
The YouTube series features host Jack Coyne testing celebrities’ music knowledge as they listen to a playlist of songs blindfolded. In a moment with Alice In Chains’ “Rooster,” Jason reminisced about the grunge era he grew up in, contrasting it with Jack’s own pop-centric MTV era. Jason revealed that his son, despite loving all kinds of music, particularly enjoys a few Backstreet Boys songs, perhaps as a form of rebellion against his father’s edgier music tastes.
Described as one of the more chaotic guests on Track Star, Jason impressed with his ability to recognize almost every song on the playlist, showcasing his love for metal music. From Black Sabbath to Metallica, Rage Against the Machine to Korn, Jason’s musical knowledge was on full display.
Jason’s passion for metal was evident when he hosted the final show for Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne as a solo artist. Reflecting on the experience, Jason expressed his gratitude and highlighted the influence Black Sabbath’s music had on his life and acting career.
In a world where rebellion is found in unexpected places, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa’s love for the Backstreet Boys serves as a charming contrast to his father’s rockstar lifestyle. Jason’s musical journey, from grunge to metal, showcases the diverse influences that shape his family dynamic. In the end, the Momoas remind us that music can be a source of connection and rebellion, no matter the genre or generation.
