Bad Music

"Come here rude boy, boy can you get it up?

Come here rude boy, boy is you big enough?"

This whole song (Rude Boy by Rihanna) is full of sexual innuendos and just generally about sex. And yet it is played on the radio and is on the Now! 75 album which is bought by millions of young teenagers. There are so many songs which hint at a sexual theme, some more obvious than others. Some times it is even in the song title, Sexy Chick by David Guetta, Sex Me by R. Kelly, Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon and there are so many more.

If artists aren't singing about sex then they are normally swearing, even the once thought child friendly star Miley Cyrus has swearing in her song Talk is Cheap. On itunes there is explicit labels on quite a few songs. You can sometimes get the radio edit version which has had the swearing taken out, but if the song sounds just as good with the swearing taken out of it then why bother having it there in the first place?

Like someone else has said in an online blog "it's ok to use it a few times to express feelings" but when swearing is used excessively it almost looses its meaning and becomes pointless. A good example of this is the song Real Nigga Role Call by Lil Jon and Eastside Boyz, even the title could be offensive to some people.

I think the main reason there is bad music around is because the artists are reflecting on what is going on in the world at the moment, and we do live in a very sexual culture. The swearing is probably just a form of expression because after all that's what music is all about.
