To me, it seems like all the songs that you hear on the radio in today's world is talking about clubbing, sex, drugs, and everything along those lines. And quite frankly, I wanted to start a topic.

Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Brittany Spears, and the list goes on.

It's mostly rap and pop that has been effecting the minds the most.

So I wanted ya'lls opinion; do you think that these popular music artists are a bad influence?
Yeah if their an influence, and the only influence. I don't think people who like Lady Gaga are bound for jail.

The assumption there is that people who listen to classical are bound for harvard. They aren't.

Edit:

Having read through this, I guess theres some religious connotation here and if thats the case I have reason to believe the OP's made up his mind. If thats the case I'm done arguing. What you're seeing is Post hoc ergo propter hoc. "Since that event followed this one, that event must have been caused by this one."

Its a logical fallacy and is wrong based just on the opening assumption - Lady Gaga is popular. People suck. Therefore, lady gaga is why people suck. No, people suck because they have no influences, not bad ones. The reason the phrase "idle hands are the devil's plaything" exists is because people without constructive direction are generally societal nuisances. You don't get rid of sucky people by banning Lady gaga, you get rid of sucky people two ways...

Murder
Positive Influence.

Music is music I guess. I'm not talking about just music. Movies, pictures, AND songs can influence the way people dress and act. 'Emo' is apparently a genre. Do you think 'emo' was a genre in the year 1990?

^^^
That's my point I'm trying to get across.

Lady Gaga turns Christmas into a sex-related parody. CHRISTmas tree. Go listen to "Christmas Tree" by Lady Gaga and you'll see what I mean. In my opinion, Christ should'nt have anything to do with sex besides the fact that Jesus was born on that day.

I'm not saying that getting high or having sex shouldn't exist in songs, but some music artists take those theories a little far. I guarentee if you were to take the lyrics out of all of those songs, you wouldn't see some of the things you see on Youtube, movies, etc.

Media has a major influence on people. And my question was "Do you think pop and rap are a bad influence?"

I'm sorry; I should've said MEDIA IN GENERAL. My mistake.

I didn't make this thread to get bashed at. That wasn't my intention.
Well, some media can be a bad influence. The only media that really has a bad influence on kids today (As in the actual problem, bot a manifestation of it) is the kind of ridiculous physical standards you see on magazine covers and in movie stars. And Jesus was born in March.

You don't think Teenagers were douchebags in any other day and age? Didn't they say this same **** when Elvis was popular?

When I was 15 my favorite music was Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid. Do You see me cutting people up and committing mass Murder now 10 years later?
