I hate the notion of tailoring music for children. The world exists for all humans (though as a nihilist I only accept that on a subjective, cultural level) and it annoys the hell out of me that society considers kids more important than everyone else. Whether it be trashy art (mainstream pop) or otherwise, the art itself should take precedence over the perceived audience. Even if it's targeted at kids I really don't care. If a kid is dumb enough to do drugs or have unprotected sex or murder cops because of a song, then A.) the kid deserves to be useless, and B.) society deserves to have useless kids.
But is "Friday" really that bad? It's just a song about a day of the week. I don't know that much about the lyrics, but as far as I'm aware it's just a bunch of silly, inoffensive lines haphazardly strung together. And it's also moderately fun, so **** it.
