Does music reflect on how we see today.....and why?

Brain-washing our children.

It is suggest that there is a link between the race of the audience and the race of the singer or group. This could be a strong factor in stereotyping that might explain why there is a relationship between the behavior and music. For example: a heavy metal band consisting of Caucasian male members may have Caucasian male fans that dress in similar fashion as the band and participate in violent behaviours.

However, the majority of Caucasian males acting in a violent manner could be traced back to the heavy metal band because of similar clothing, music, social taste, etc., thus stereotyping the band as violent. Therefore, the band may be stereotyped as violent, and the audience will process the information from that band as violent. This could be similar to the situation with rap and African Americans.

The FCC seems to have fallen badly, but as long as we're fine with money thats made, the mental health of your children you'll just have to put up with, as more and more go off the rails. I guess its ok then. Acting out. and no-one blinks an eye.

Why are white teens trying to be black teens?

Sorry people, the next gen has lost the plot, and the parents are letting it happen, and like I said, " how they turn out will be on your heads.

Dear QL,

Gee, I don't know about this generation. It seems that the previous ones had their fair share of criticisms as well and look how well they've done? (joke).

Seriously, though - I think it's more than music that affects the behaviour of young people. As any teacher or parent will tell you -
"I already know what a child needs. I know it by heart. They need to be accepted, respected, liked and trusted: encouraged, supported, activated, and amused: able to explore, experiment, and achieve. Damn it! They need too much. All I lack is Solomon's wisdom, Freud's insight, Einstein's knowledge, and Florence Nightingale's dedication."

Children present problems which do not disappear even when the parent believes in democracy, love, respect, and acceptance, individual differences, and personal uniqueness. What is needed are specific skills for dealing effectively and humanely with minute-to-minute happenings - the small irritations, the daily conflicts, the sudden crises. All these situations call for helpful and realistic reactions.
All we can do is our best and hope we succeed in raising decent human beings.

Can anyone believe that there are adults who describe ABBA music as no good ? And our constitution requires them to vote. Go figure !

Yeah, Individual - those same people don't believe in promoting new sources of renewable and cleaner energy or putting a price on carbon either. New ideas instead of being welcomed - are seen by those who are comfotable in their ideologies as a threat. As you said - go figure!

Its now a lottery? Well not in my house hold. So by your understandings of normal thought prognoses, its a green light for violent disrespectful behaviours that parents seem to think its alright as their child spirals out of control, which for some, jail, therapy, drug addiction, rape, murder, and all the things you can think of, are contained in music.

I can pick Indy for a Kenny Rogers fan and you.....I think opera or poetry, however back in the 50,s lets say, music was society friendly....now days Hate Gangs and degrading women as hoe,s and of course the big one.......... Anti-authority. Now hearing damage is another frightening problem, but as long as its a lottery, the money that makes the world go round, again is all the matters.

Here you two......some easy good old fashion songs all can relate too:)

The elderly are at most risk, since they cant defend or object to music thats damaging a gen.

And you two think its fine the exploit the youth for the almighty dollar?

Ok then:)

Have a nice day.
