Love the Music, Hate the Kids is American hardcore punk band Ensign's fourth full-length album.

It is an album of cover versions of seminal hardcore punk songs from the early-1980s to mid-1990s.

Ensign's journey from hardcore punk on their first album, Direction of Things to Come, in 1997 through to metalcore on The Price Of Progression – taking a middleground stance on Cast the First Stone in 1999 – saw them now turning full-circle into seminal, old school punk and doing an album of cover versions which had been important to them in their formative years and recognised by many fans as important to the genre.

The rushed production of the material – seven days from start to finish – did not hinder the sound; in fact it contributed to the overall "garage band" period authenticity of the project.

A Killing Time cover, "Telltale", has a guest spot on guitar by Carl Porcaro who was a founding member of a New York band called Raw Deal which later became known as Killing Time.
