Rap and Hip Hop Music should be banned do to it's Strong Sexual, And Violent Content.

Hey guys, Blackflags here. People from the online debating community probably know me by Stag, amongst other names. I was searching desperately for a topic that would hit home, and this definitely fits the criteria. You see, I listen to a genre of music known as Punk. It is often described by both young and old alike as being loud, obnoxious, distasteful, and rebellious. I certainly thought the same way when I was first exposed to the Punk genre. Overtime though, my tune started to change. I was at a moment in my life where nothing was working. I just followed the motions, and that made me feel like I was not getting anywhere. There was so much I wanted to do, but oh so many people telling me I cannot do it. It was tough playing by everyone else's rules except my own, and this created a burning hatred inside me. I hated government, the education system, modern parenting, among a plethora of other things. That drove me to give punk music a second chance. It really lit a spark that second time. Originally I only listened to punk songs that expressed my anger. It really spoke to the sentiments I was feeling. Later I branched out to the next level of punk music, which began filling me with ideas of direct rebellion and dissidence against the institution and societal norms. When I started acting on these things, I began to feel a sense of empowerment. I knew that while 98% of the world was still following the rules, me and the other 2% who dared to be different were actively taking fate into our own hands. The more I listened to punk music, the more I began to hate other things as well. Other things that the Instigator expressed disdain for. I hated meaningless sex. I no longer wanted to be a slave to desire and lust.I hated drug use. It was no longer attractive to be controlled by substances.Sometimes, punk music even made me come into moral conflicts, based on what I knew was right, and what I wanted to do. It took great courage that I otherwise would not of had to actually do the right thing, and without loud obnoxious rebellious punk music, I never could of done these things on my own.Perhaps the most important thing punk did for me, was to make me stop hating all together. That happened rather late, once I had fully experienced every single great punk album. For that I am ever greatful. Now that you have a little bit of background, maybe you can put the pieces together and figure out why I am not a fan of the instigator advocacy in this debate. People obviously listen to rap and hiphop to gain a sense of empowerment and liberty from today's society. Today's youth feel oppressed, and drugs and sex are their personal means of rebellion. I would love to warn these kids that drugs and sex are just another means of control, but the more important piece is that I am not going to control them or try to kill their musical expression, like so many people before tried to kill punk. By controlling youth, I would be betraying my own principles of absolute freedom and liberty, while denying youth the same opportunities I had gained to find myself through punk music, which most people would say is generally more aggressive and violent than rap and hiphop. I needed punk music desperately, like a medicine. Youth are looking for something, and we have no right to stop their journey for enlightenment by banning one of the most prominent forms of expression this generation has, music!Also put up a misfits tribute with over a dozen prominent punk bands so people see what I am talking about ;) http://www.youtube.com...
