This kind of thing really pisses me off. People go around listening to songs that are so sexually explicit. When you arent controlling the airwaves how can you EXPECT the youth not to listen?

Sometimes i really wish I could have lived through the 50s and 60s and 70s. Some of the music back then was sexually explicit, but at the same time radio stations DID NOT ALLOW THE SONGS TO BE PLAYED. The BBC wouldnt allow I am the Walrus by The beatles to be played because it had the words *pornographic priestess, you let your knickers down*. This is far far far from what we have today. Why won't any radio station ever go back to that system? Because if they did, they wouldnt have very many songs left to play.

I FIRMLY believe in in more stricter radio stations and at least some control over the people doing this.

I am fifteen years old. I have watched this happen since I was little. I never really liked rap(im not generalizing rap, but we can all agree that is where most of the sexual explicitness is from)so I was never really hit with this. I remember in second grade two kids kissed and had been *going out* for a few weeks. When you are that old you don't even know what going out really means. I never once needed a cell phone. Know why? Because everywhere i went, the person had a phone. My parants knew where I was, and at the ages 8-12 what kind of parent wouldn't keep up with that? If they needed me they called me where I was. Now, I am fifteen and I go out with friends and I have a cell phone that I use when I go out. Parents binge to much on their kids and this should be stopped.

This is just my opinion, some of you may find it wrong, some of you may agree. I am not trying to start a flame war, I am not trying to disrespect any type of music you may think I have offended in any way. If you agree or disagree, please put why you think so. post such as *you are wrong, I suddenly hate you for thinking this way, and btw your a complete fuck tard* are not only incoherent, but pointless. Lets try and be civil :thumbsup:.

i had a boyfriend when i was 7 and we were "going out" i know what you mean, think about it know and when we were tweens we thought we knew everything, my sisters is a tween and i beat her down when she gets out of line because i cant have her ending up like the kids in the article

[partyguy420]

ok... im not trying to start a flame war with you with the falowing post... so if you are esaly affended... stop reading this post now....


ok.,.. first off... you complaining about music all talking about sex, and being alowed to be played on radio stations... well... just like you... every one has there own oppinions on what music they listen to... and if you realy payed attention to the lyrics of songs.... you would know that the real rap... like the good rapers, such as brotha lynch, DMX, Tu Pac, Biggie yea, sure they do rap about sex... but most of it is about there lifes, and how they made it to see 21 years old in a neabhor hood, that you are lucky to see 13...

but anyways.... im thinking the reason that you dont want radio stations to play songs about sex, is because your realy ugly... and your still a virgin... and youll be a 40 year old virgin...

second post of you being against rap, personally i think you just have a problem with rap and you're finding reasons (as solid or fragile as they may be) to have things against it, instead of just saying you hate it...

dont' get me wrong, i really don't like rap, with the exception of a few (very few) songs and eminem, i can't stand the shit... just why make these long posts instead of just saying "i hate rap"?

i dont think he hates rap, i think his point was how its affecting the little kids

[slipknotpsycho]

i would too, but this is his second "negative" post about rap, coincedence? maybe, but more logically atleast, it leads one to believe he just has a problem with it in general, personaly i find it annoying... it's changed a bit now, but it used to be "money bitches and guns, blah blah" over and over again same old shit, diffrent songs, even diffrent artists, but the SAME three things in every song... but like i said, it's not really limited to those things anymore, now there's everything in between talking about moms (love or hate) drugs, pimping, rims, cars, and so on. i still don't really like rap, but atleast it's not the same old shit anymore.. mostly atleast.

i know but rap is rap, some people like it and some dont, if this generation likes money bitches and guns, people will keep rapping about money bitches and guns

The only sentence rap was mentioned in, like i said, im not generalizing it as just rap, some rap is good and some is bad i used rap as just at erm to describe a genre, not all of it.

Second of all, there was much more to that post than me complaining about rap.

I dont have a personal vendetta against rap. Just sexually explicit music in general. And secondly, andone who made a post like that would be flamed and it would have no point.

HAHA.

Um, little dude, have you not heard ANYTHING about the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)??

They're presence on the airwaves are a little too overwhelming, contrary to your ill-informed belief that no one is controlling radio.

Remember anything about Howard Stern battling the FCC before he switched to Sirus radio? That was HUGE in the news, too. His talk show had always been pretty controversial, and as a bunch of newer FCC rules came into play, he was fined for some pretty petty shit while other media talk-show hosts said the same thing and got away with it. He got so pissed off he finally made the smart move and went to Sirus, where truly ANYTHING is allowed.

I'll agree with you that pop-music as a whole generally sucks now-a-days, but it's not too offensive. Radio stations that play music with explicit lyrics edit them so they pass FCC standards. If you're offended by things you hear on KISS FM, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment, because the rest of the world is actually far more offensive beyond the media. Welcome to the 21st century =)

So really, lol, you might want to be complaining about have TOO MUCH of a biased censorship in the media, not to mention do your homework before tossing out a barn-burner of a topic. ~
