Sex Appropriate or just Good Music
It's getting hard to come across good music these days, or maybe music is just becoming more like advertising and art. There's good and there's bad but it all depends on who's making the judgement or seeing/listening to it. It's hard to tell though when music like Britney Spears "3" and Rihanna "Rude Boy" comes out, whether they are promoting what they sing or it just happened to make a good song. Both songs are very popular and well liked by almost everyone but has it come to the point of it being okay to talk about threesomes and riding your man/ having raunchy sex? The songs play all day long on the radio for all ages to hear and since there's not profanity, the real versions play. I think music like this is great and fun to dance to when you're college age or older and out, but to play during the day for young children to hear is just not appropriate. It's not okay for songs about these things to be played openly, you never know what kids will repeat or start singing out on the playground with other kids. There should be a specific radio station (for mature adults) and places such as bars and night clubs to play and promote the music. But overall it shouldn't be socially acceptable for music to have come to this, good music doesn't have to talk about threesome or nasty sexual things. Good music and be appropriate and fun at the same time. Artists need to become a little more creative with their work and not necessarily take the easy way out by using sex, drugs, and alcohol for their music.
