When I was a teen we were into acid rock and getting high.Not into Death and killing animals for fun.It makes me sick and wonder what values
are parents teaching their kids.
Do they get it from todays rock music and violent
video games?

Well parent are no longer maintaining a healthy family structure since the spend a majority of their time away from the home. This allows young boys and girls to create or learn their own values. Also they feel they need to be entertained. They no longer look for adventures outside a four walled environment.
Sad but true.

James Dean used to be an offesive person to some folks. Alice Cooper's acts got him taken into court. Maybe each generation has to push the envelope farther to offend the grown ups? And, rockers are generally angry, young men. Can you blame society for allowing this much expression, or could it be the producers smelling a dollar in something more extreme, more unsettling? Probably an interplay between those two, society and marketers. Another idea: are you sure this generation is the first to have this level of bloodiness? Don't forget human history is long and convoluted. Things were not pristine and proper until the 1950's, no matter what Queen Victoria told you. Roman youth got to see live gladitorial combat for free. Inspired them to enlist and serve too.

Video games CAN be a problem. If violent video games are released upon the impressionable young child, that certainly could be a cause for violent tendencies. Now, some video games are about killing/blood/death and award points for causing it. They don't tell you to stop, just keep killing more. In sports and such, kids are taught not to be violent, as personal fouls etc. are penalized.
Not sure about rock music, since I am not really much of a music fan. Another cause could be movies, books, posters, or other cultural items.

Hmmm. Maybe the most logical follow-on after acid rock and getting high is death and killing animals for fun.
Neither set of activities is worth a tinker's dam in my opinion.
Let's have a generation into helping others and getting along. Kind of like those folks that went to the Peace Corps.

I doubt it is due to rock music. I think the music is a reflection of society - the lyrics can often indicate as to the mindset of society. Society is more violent in general. With terrorism and general escalating street violence, the world has lost most of it's innocence. Notice how there aren't many protest songs anymore? Late 70's punk had plenty...... rock music is pretty lame and self-centred these days.

I don't mean to get everyone upset with a dose of reality, but when the bottom fell out of Christian ethics in America, back in the 60s, that was the beginning of a new Ancient Roman Empire of unrivalled cruelty and consciencelessness.
Yeah, some people DO need religion to keep them from acting like monsters.

It's probably the acid rock parents who are still getting high and don't give a hoot about their kids anyway. Goes with the territory...
