The blatantly sexually suggestive, foul language, misogynistic, and believe it or not misandrist over and undertones that permeate the music and video production today has run a muck! Our kids our absorbing this garbage at a more faster rate than they do their school curriculum. There is no buffer today--it's all on the damn table for everyone see and hear. And not enough people seem to be appalled by the downward spiral that our society is on! So, we allow this madness to continue to enter our homes and surroundings. And chalk it up as if it's no big deal and is not having an ill affect on our children today.
I know this generation is smart and very fast when it comes to technology and things of that nature. But being on the ground everyday whether it's in the hood or burbs with this cohort--the social-psychological context by which most process with is totally different today. They see nothing wrong with Nikki Minaj 'atwa' and Superman that hoe! Perhaps because they haven't been taught or perhaps because we as adults don't emphasize the degrading nature of such? Any thoughts? Or am I just getting old? :-)

You hit the the nail on the head!--and it's even deeper than you mentioned. This so called music has a literal physiological on the body, destroying and rewiring neural pathways to the detriment of our emotional, physical, and spiritual health
