Modern Music makes no sense and has a bad influence on todays society

"I never said that sexual relations itself was bad, but to sing about it too much can have a bad effect on our society. Some songs can provoke the under educated youth to go out and have sex. Young children are also being exposed to this music since a lot of artists do tend to sing about it. Especially with explicit scenes in Music videos which aren't uncommon can also rub off on our society whereas artists were more careful about what they released back then. " Young teens will have sex regardless of whether or not there is music about it, for the sole reason that teenagers are horny and hormonal, the music has nothing to do with this. There is nothing really wrong about teens having sex either, as long as they use protection and do it safely. "this is probably a small percentage of bands today that do this that receive almost no credit as opposed to artists that don't much time and effort to release a song yet they still receive a lot more credit that artist that do, do this. " First of all, no, it's not a small percentage. In fact, the small percentage of bands are writing about drugs and other things that you look down upon. Mainstream media is a VERY small part of the music around the world, and there are plenty of songs within the mainstream that are quite meaningful. "I just don't like the music which is subjective to my tastes" Exactly, music is entirely subjective. "Anyways back to my point which is modern music makes no sense and has a bad influence on the modern society. When i talk about music nowadays, i should have been more specific. I should've said popular modern music. Lets look at a popular song. . http://www.azlyrics.com...... Uptown funk from what i heard was a very popular song, but lets look at the lyrics. "This hit, that ice cold, that Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold", it seems like he's just naming things or he's just running out of things to say. Anyways it doesn't really make sense. He then goes on to say "gotta kiss myself i'm so pretty", isn't this just the pinnacle of narcissism you may think not but than he goes on for a few more bars saying that he's "too hot", and please tell me what he means by "Girls hit your Hallelujah". " Taken from . http://www.lyricsmode.com... The phrase "white gold" refers to Michele Pfeiffer's race and good looks. Michele Pfeiffer is an iconic white actress known for her good looks. The "gonna kiss me I'm so pretty" isn't narcissism, it's because he has a good self image, which is a positive thing. Girl's hit your hallelujah could possibly mean this, as quoted from that site. "I tend to lean more to this being an inappropriate euphemism. However, it could also be argued that the downtown, poorer girls are dancing and laughing and beginning to feel better about themselves. Bruno and the other men and women around could be very ecstatic for these young girls and their new found joy. The woo could be cheering the girls who are dancing on, encouraging them to keep dancing, either to support them-or to objectify them. Your call. " ". http://www.azlyrics.com...... Lets look at this song where this so called artist openly "raps" about cocaine, should this be acceptable in our society. Kids might be oblivious to the topic of the song but teens who absorb this stuff like a sponge might be provoked by this stuff. " There are literally songs about everything, one example of a song promoting cocaine means nothing, especially when said song is highly criticized. "Another trend which has been constantly repeated in many popular songs, the drug "Molly". More teens have become aware of this drug and have start abusing it. Side effects could prove deadly. " There have always been plenty of songs about drugs. It is up to the parent to make sure their child does not listen to these songs if they feel they can not control themselves. "My apologies as well, i should've specified that i'm talking about popular modern music in the mainstream media. Mostly English and American . " Bit too late for that, this should have been stated at the beginning of the debate, so I'll just continue to argue about ALL types of music today. You seem to be only focusing on then negative songs, instead of the positive, less inappropriate songs that are still quite popular. Even if we are talking about mainstream music, outside of the genre of rap there are fairly few songs that focus entirely on drugs, sex, or whatever else you think are detrimental to society. Once again, check out the song little game by Benny, . http://www.azlyrics.com... Or Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez . http://www.azlyrics.com... Both of those are quite popular songs which comment on negative trends in today's society.
