Question

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

In the 50's, the young disc jockeys were bombarded by irate parents over the suggestive titles, themes and sounds of the rock & roll music they were playing. They argue that such "filth" would only encourage inappropriate behavior amongst teenagers.
The common defensive reply from the disc jockeys, was that sex is often on the minds of young people, and music and dancing is a healthy, fun way of expressing those thoughts and feelings. [As an alternative to other activites, including sex itself]

To this I say 'bravo!' For it was absolutley true. Keyword though, being "was."

In the last thirty years we've seen a huge increase in economical platforms, international trade and technological advancements, yet we've suffered a steady decline in the moral fabric of society.
Various forms of entertainment, music being among the most influential has been affected by this loss, and regurgitated out almost double the negativity that it was fed.

No longer are titles, themes and sounds of music suggestive, they are completely, obviously and purposely rude. Somewhere between 1993 and 1995 the music industry suffered it's worse loss of the 'suggestive' label and travelled light years in another direction of what may be considered appropriate.

Combined with the other influences over society as a whole, music has brought us to one unfortunate disposition : Many teenagers no longer just have sex on the mind, they also have it everyday.

If you read the rest of the article you would have also learned that the study also indicated parents' permissiveness had much to do with the results of the study.

This kind of question is an indicator in itself. When people do not look beyond the headlines, misinformation spreads and fosters hate and intolerance. More than half of the opinions expressed on Yahoo Answers come from misread information and, even worse, the SPREAD of this misinformation.

Look at EVERY one of the answers above mine. Not one of them seems to have read the article. They are responding to the question.

Answer 4

I remember the days they only picked on rock music,Guess the virus is spreading. Most music is to inspire the soul and emotions. The self-righteous people need a wake-up call.

Answer 5

It's just one factor in an onslaught of both societal and peer pressure that sexualizes our youth at an early age.

Answer 6

Well, it makes no sense unless the 'Alphabet Song' helps kids learn the letters . . . wait, it does . . . I guess it makes sense that if you hear someone suggesting that you have sex constantly, in your ear, set to music. maybe you'll go have sex!
