RE: agnostic in a catholic school
Just out of curiosity, why do you go to a Catholic school if you're not Catholic? As for the girl…

Music is not poisoning the minds of youth if you look for the right kind. I feel like there are certain artists that do have obscene content in their lyrics, but many youth listen to this type of music for other reasons besides the lyrics. I believe there are artists out that there that have something to say that is worth listening to. Many kids listen to the music though and they misinterpret the meanings of the songs which has led kids into do certain things such as commit suicide. People can percieve art in a bad way. I believe that aspect is really cause by other elements besides the art itself though. It really depends upon things that are happening in their lives. And if you are going to blame art for all the problems in the world, then what about sports, politics, and war? People wanted to blame Marilyn Manson for the Columbine Massacre, but at the same time they were accusing him the president was dropping bombs on civilians. It all sums up to one thing...compassion. A reporter once asked Marilyn Manson what he would have said to the two young men responsible for the Columbine Massacre. He said, "I wouldn't have said anything. I would have listened."

so u honestly think that music that promotes violence is ok!? r u serious? Yes i have "listened" to the lyrics and i find there is no dept or anything very much artistic about it. i think that the idiots that make this msic should nt b allowed to share their music to the world and most importantly the youth
I think that music with obscene lyrics can influence that type of behavior if they make it sound beneficial. Like an ad for a certain brand of cigarettes. But not all music is bad, for example, T.I. and Eminem have some songs with actual emotion in them.
i knw that
I think music is poisoning the minds of the youth. We listen to rap, hip-hop, and many influentual music genres. But in my opinion what happened to good old soft pop and Christian music. I think if you listen to the song How Great is Our God by Chris Tomlin you would enjoy the Christian Music.
To me T.I. and Eminem are very influentle in a bad way. To me I do not like rap so that might be why I don't like them..
Music is NOT poisoning the minds of youth. In fact, I believe that it is making us better people, but only if we listen to music that isn't obscene. There are so many amazing musicians and writers that have something great to say that can inspire us. Even though people might not like the Jonas Brothers, some of the money that was raised by people liking there music and buying there merchandise goes to Diabetes research. Also, what about all of the money that went to AIDS reaearch on the season finale of American Idol? Good things can and do come out of music.
I believe that our choice and content of music is so poor because we the people allow it to be. We the consumer should turn off the radio. Many people support the terrible music by just having the radio on.
Support the cause by talking about it. The more conversations we (the people) have on the issues that bother us, the bigger the impact it will have on our world.
Our parents have failed us. When I was really young my parents mediated everything we listened to and watched. Now you might say that sucks, but i can tell you that by having parents that cared enough to monitor and judge for us what we should be hearing and what we shouldn't, definitely helped put my siblings and I on a better path in life.
What does a kid at 7 and 8 really know. Parents need to take personal responsibility for their children listening to these songs and acting this way because of music. Teach a child to distinguish right and wrong, good and bad. If you understood right from wrong, then the content of the music wouldn't even matter.
We should definitely stand up to the artist that produce songs that promote the wrong type of unity between people and deliver a corrupt message. ALso, the Media is the biggest area of corruption. STOP FORCING US TO WATCH THE CRAP.
ok i have to admitt it does to some kids. but to most of them not really. and i should know because im eleven. i listen all kinda music and im a most staight a student.
music is not poisoning the minds of kids. I mean, Im here on dosomething trying to make a diffrence and i listen to obscene music. Music can express diffrent kind of emotion. i mean my parents raised me not to shoot or hurt people who dont like me. People have enough since to know right from wrong. if you hear something and u do it well u shoud have known better. if someone told u to jump of a bridge would u do it? Ive listen to all types of music. There are some that r just crazy stupid and pointless but music is good for the soul.
Well I personally don't listen to degrading music but the fact is that some do. I don't think having people listening to that kind of music is bad as long as they don't imitate what they hear or see. The fact is that everybody likes different kinds of music and some like degrading music.

well i do think that explicit music can b bad becuz when u listen to it most ppl hav the impulse to do what the song is tlking about. We as ppl relate to music so when u listen to it those lyrics make u want to feel as good as those ppl did at the time or revisit the time when u were sad. so if all u r listening to is about sex and violence then thats what u r going to want to do and probably will act on it
kids look for a scapegoat. before you know it, they are locked away in a closet with their fake diploma in hand!
