Why should music lyrics not be censored?

Answer 1

No

No, I don't feel music should be censored on the albums. I do feel, however, that the packaging should have labeling more like that of the video game industry. On Video Games there is a rating system that describes what age that title is appropriate for and specific reasons why. That way when a parent purchases it (if they paid any attention) they know exactly what it is that is going into their home and their children's heads. Now, what is broadcast over the air is a different story. Often you don't know a song is inappropriate until they have already said the line. You can turn the song off, but if you are in the car with your 6 and 8 year old, the damage is already done.

I think music should not be censored because everyone has a freedom of speech. If a mother or father doesn't want their children listening to the kinda music that they think will influence them to do something bad or grow up to be something other than good, then they need to be careful and watch what their children are listening to, and make sure that that kind of music that is not good for a child's environment, should not be around them. That kind of music is for people who actually wanna listen to it and will listen to it, not for little kids. There are all kinds of music. Music for the grown folks, music for the teens, and music for the little ones. There are even music for the religious and unreligious.

Yes

Using bad language is still unethical and can be harmful. Without censoring songs, you're allowing the youth of today to believe these words or songs are cool and possibly better lived out in reality than without these songs. That continues over to the next generation that might result in worse possibilities. As you see more and more each day, things are getting worse. More crimes, more hate and violence, and more evil. If we can do just one thing to help our society it could change our future and the future of our kids. By just censoring one song could make the difference of a child not yelling at their mother. You may not realize these things are happening, but when you compare this generation to previous ones, you notice they were not as openly negative as they are now. Yes, you have rights, but I would like the right to not be abused in public by someone who listens to songs that teaches you to be a criminal.

We were talking about children before, but adults are also being affected. Adults are bigger and stronger than kids, you know where that can lead to. They also have the tendency to settle for their own pleasure over other's needs. Children are different in that they are small and look up to the adults and their criticism. You can hardly find a grown up that listens to music, think about the consequences of these songs, and tries to change their attitude. Almost every one that does listen to it, enjoys music and sees it as a privilege. They even go over board and blast it very loud in the streets. Who would want to give up their privilege? So, as you see, at least if we can censor music, it is for the better of mankind. And those songs we hear from blocks away won't be send such an unwanted message as before to our youths and elders.

Also , as you may have noticed, anyone can get their hands on any type of music,censored and uncensored, these days. That makes it a difficult job for parents or even children to keep from coming into contact with them. For music lyrics to be censored would give you the chance clean up your act, halt demoralizing yourself, find something more respectable to adapt to, and see the beauty of something more innocent. Why is bad being portrayed as good? That's like teaching someone to lie. This can help all of us to stop hating each other and to find some common ground. It's a start to world peace.

Answer 2

no because it depends on the type of music u listen to and how old u are

no if you dont like what they say why do you want to listen?

No, music should not be censored. People should teach their children what kinds of music are good and what kinds are bad and why. Then it is up to the people to control what they listen to. We should have freedom of expression, however. If a person wants to say something in music that I don't agree with, I just won't listen to it. But I won't take away their right to make that music.

no because people have a right to say what they want and if parents don't want their little kids to listen to it, don't let them. Have authority. But don't ruin it for the ones who can listen to it by making it censored!!! some believe that music is one of the main reasons people do terrible things because the lyrics provoke them. NO. people have a mind of their own. Don't go blaming the music. no.

Okay this is what I dont understand, if you dont like somethig why in the world would you listen to it.

Answer 3

Music Lyrics Should Be Censored Because If Music Isnt Censored Then, Children At Young Ages Begin To Do Bad Things. They Do Bad Things Such As Steal, Curse, And Cause Harm To Their Parents Or Legal Guardians. Also If You Havent Noticed Today's Society Is Worse Than It Has Ever Been People Are Committing Crimes On The Day To Day Basis And Going To Jail For Them. It Has Gotten So Bad That They Cant Even Put More People In Jails, And That They Have To build More. That Is Why People Need To Begin To Censor Music......

Some Ways They Can Even Make It Noticeable Is By Putting Ages On The Packages, Just like They Do To Video Games When You Buy Them... They Can Also Do This By Putting Lyrics On The Box.....

All Of This Is Reasons Why Music Should Be Censored...

This is kinda One mans opinion but explicit music is usually involving sex, violence or satanism which is pretty much what Classical Music is it's just there are no lyrics. As a matter of fact, when you think of tehcniques classical and rock are the same. And when you go to a fine art gallery all you see is dragons and vampires killing people and 70 year old men hooking up with tennage nudists. But it's all art. I say YES to censoring!
