Assigned Entry #5

I Am A Mother Father, Post?

A hundred years ago this kind of music would be banned. In fact more then half of our music would be. Modern music has a huge influence on today's younger generations. And their parents are not helping, I see all to often parents purposely telling and making their childern say/ see/ do very adult things that will cause a psychological issues is the future. Why is there this need to have the most famous kid out there on the internet? Or belief that it is cute when a baby's first words are "fuck?"

 What brought this to my attention, besides working with the general public is when I happened across MattyBRaps Cover of PSY's Gentleman. Thankfully his parents (or he) was wise enough to change the lyrics to the song.

  Although the song is originally in Korean the song talks of some pretty disturbing things that young ears should not listen to. Take a listen to many of the songs on the radio, they too are probably not acceptable. IJustine from Youtube has make a video giving some of the original translated lyrics from Gentlemen.When looking into the lyrics myself I found to be what IJustine found to be correct to the best of my knowledge. You may look for yourself of course. Here is the website I found.

 

 This is the original video.

As I said before it is not only music that is the problem. Some parents practically encourage their children to use profanity like there's nothing wrong with it. Parents rarely discipline their kids when these words are used in school. You can see in this next video of a parent taking no notice that their child is using such words.

 

 In the past parents spanked and put soap in the mouths of their children when they swore. I am not encouraging abuse or anything like that. But when I grew up we had a jar where if any of us in the household cursed then we would have to pay the jar; and who ever cussed the less got the money.  My parents at the least were trying to be role-models, not hypocrites. Which is what we need much more in society. I am not saying ban the music. I am saying set an example that they would want to follow, that will lead them to a path of success.
