The Rant

I have been having trouble trying to come up with a topic to write about pertaining to music, when in all reality it was hitting me like a bus. Music is a controversial subject on its own good or bad. I realized though a perfect topic to blog about would be the message.

Let me give an example, I was looking at different types of music, one thing that spoke out to is while I was looking was that I came to rock music, and everything it talked about was how rock and roll and different types of rock are associated with sin, sex, drugs, acholol, and objectifying women.

In some cases that is true, but if you take a step back and look at all the music that is mainly what a lot of it is, no matter what the genre is. Examples? Okay.

1. "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" By Cole Swindell (Country)
This song talks about how he hopes the girl he loves gets lonely so see we call him for some late night drunk sex.  


2. "Bang Bang" By Jessie J (Pop)
This is a song that talks about how people are going to "Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it) Wait a minute let me take you there (ah) Wait a minute 'til ya (ah)" Ha! Real appropriate.


3. "Booty Work" By T-Pain (Rap)
Mama you look so professional I'm followin' you sweating you I can't believe I'm doing what I'm doing, what is wrong with my head, go ahead Cause baby I like how you're working it, I'm watching you, you're twerking it I'm trying get you out of this club and get you off in my bed. This is about this guy watching a girls ass the whole time then wanting to get it on with her. 

Granted yes, rock music has that too. However it was very obvious that ALL genres have songs like these it is NOT just the "Rock and Roll" community. Yes, I know the sayings about rock music, but people need to realize it is NOT just that genre.
