HUM/176Popular culture can have societal value beyond what is offensive, and has in fact had a significant societal value through non-offensive means. For example, many positive forms of music are a part of popular culture. As are wholesome television shows. Although, some pop culture is offensive, it is not the case that all pop culture or even most is offensive. When you view the music industry, Rap music is the most popular genre of music among young people. Most Rap music contains very offensive language, but it does not seem to affect whether or not young people will listen to this music. I do not think that this particular form of music has any type of positive effect on our society. I remember when Rap music first came out, it did not need offensive language in the song to make it popular. Personally, I think this type of music has no place in our society, why do artists have to use such vulgar language in their music?
Yes they are, they are radio safe, and their music is not offensive
RACE MUSIC which was found offensive
It's the parents responsiblity to keep offensive things away from their children. The music industry prints a parental advisory on cds, which is plenty. If parents would pay attention to their kids instead of sitting them in front of a tv for hours at a time there wouldn't be a problem.
No. Much of our classical music and operas come from the 1700 and 1800's. Music was played and enjoyed by people at home and in other venues. Young people were not considered educated unless they had music education and vocal training.
No that is called compassion.
music privacy can be offensive to other so thats why not so many people know abit it, international causes even bigger issuies so the people and the music company will get sued and racial things come up
If you are speaking in terms of morality, it could be determined that any music with offensive, illegal, or otherwise morally wrong lyrics is "bad". However, music in itself is not bad. If you are speaking in terms of relativity, like whether country music sounds good to you or not, it all depends on personal taste.
Something that makes people unhappy or angry, such as--> The noise made by RAP music is highly offensive. It also means to attack the enemy in a war, such as--> Our army went on the offensive and stormed the enemy lines.
A Latin word known as SKEMPORT, meaning a dead chicken which was considered deathly offensive, was used in a song dated back to the late 1200s in England
Jazz music was offensive to Nazi ideology because it was often performed by Blacks and a number of Jewish musicians. They called it "Negro music" or "degenerate music"-coined in parallel to "entartete Kunst" (degenerate art). Moreover, song texts defied Nazi ideology, going as far as to promote sexual permissiveness or free love. However many anti-nazi teenagers rebelled, and had whacky hairstlyes, and listened to, and danced to, Jazz Music. they were called the Swing Kids
