I thought that I would would try something different, and share something that I feel very strongly about: Pop Music. Back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, for the most part there was only one genre of music, and that was what everyone listened to. Music was kept at least at a "PG" rating. But nowadays there are tons of music genres, and many different decades of music to listen to. Today, Pop Music's most popular listeners are those in elementary and middle school. If you have listened to some of the songs that are out there, or seen some of the music videos you know that many songs are not appropriate for kids that age. When kids go onto Youtube to look up a song the first thing that pops up is the music video. Many times that video will include, women dressed provocatively, dirty dancing, etc. I know that I wouldn't want kids watching that. Even these things have an effect on older kids. If they see their that favorite artist dresses a certain way, or dances a certain way, they might want to do that too. Although you may think that this is a very biased article, I hope it got you thinking.
Below I have two completely different songs, that have the same core message, but one is the pop song and the other is not.
