Editor's Notes
- -Dad was not around growing up-Did not have a father figure except for occasional interaction with his grandpa-Dropped out of high school at 17 and left home-Motto: “left one weekend and never came home”
- -Lyric content includes: sex drugs, discrimination of women-Numbing effects of drugs and alcohol-Drugs and alcohol glamorized-Using women for sex like that is their only purpose
- -The “I don’t give a ****” attitude of explicit lyrics causes teens to feel the same way-The language that is repeated over in teens minds will start expressing itself in teen’s vocabulary
- -Explicit lyrics cause girls to think that they have to be hot in order for guys to want them-They think sexy is what all guys want to be happy because that’s what lyrics are about in regards to females-Guys think that they have to have all these women hanging on them because the artists who sing the songs have it all
- -Girls start to compare themselves with other girls concerning who is hotter-Both genders view of authority is distorted due to the “I don’t care” mindset of most lyrics
- -Drugs and alcohol are glamorized in explicit lyrics-Teens who listen to explicit lyrics listen to how much fun it is to get high or wasted in the songs-Drugs become a numbing agent for the hardships they are dealing with
- -Sex is portrayed as careless-A lot of one-night stands are talked about in explicit lyrics-It’s not about love anymore, but just the feeling of the action
- -self expression-identifiable lyrics-perpetuates negative emotions-suicide
- -Psychiatry of Children study**-Parents are often unaware of the lyric content in their children’s music.
- -In a study only 9% of parents were concerned about music lyrics.
- -Parents can help by monitoring what their children are downloading, purchasing, and listening to.
