i have a question lol and i’m hoping it will spark some different opinions.

My boyfriend & i were talking last night about music and new artist (Doja Cat, Cardi b, The city girls) and he explained to me that he feels as though it’s the artist job to watch what they are teaching to children and younger generations. I disagreed and let him know that i feel like the responsibility is with the parents of the children. He rebutted by saying that if they would not let their kids listen to it they should not push it so hard because some people don’t have the luxury of filtering the things that their children may hear. I agreed but i also let him know that i don’t consider it a luxury to teach your children what’s inappropriate vs what is appropriate. it’s a responsibility. of course i do agree that we can’t monitor our children every second of the day i just think that if i had to feed my family i wouldn’t care about what kids are listening to my music i would just put it out. since that would be my means of taking care of my family. what do you guys think?

Show your support

I don’t like the music at all, I see it as no respect for your bodies and I agree with both of your sides but you can’t shelter your children forever, when they become a teenager they will listen to it and learn it’s okay if I dress this way or act this way because they will think it’s “cool” but I don’t think any music like that need to be around it shows no respect for themselves, even the dudes that talk about “fucking 3 bitches in a night” I don’t think it’s right at all but yes I agree with both of your points

@Jasmine yes if i could avoid it all completely i would ! and i try my best to anyway lol i think that was his argument that you can’t always have a say in what your kids hear but i think that if you teach your children what’s appropriate and what’s not that’s the best way to prepare them for when they are exposed to it you know ? i appreciate your response !!! 🥰 & i do agree

but yes definitely the men’s music as well ! i just don’t have a son so i wasn’t really thinking about it as much but absolutely !

@Aj it’s hard nowadays though, you want to protect your children esp your daughters but it’s glorified and the “move” to act like a sl*t it’s honestly scary raising kids in this new world, I just remember my dad trying to shelter me and I found it on my own from kids at school and from YouTube and it definitely took a toll on who I hung around and what I did as a mom we want to keep our kids away from those things but in this world you really can’t

I'm not about censoring art. Not a fan of banning books either.

@Katherine i respect that as well 🫶🏽

@Aj I figure you can't shelter your kids from everything, you just have to foster a good relationship and communication with them about these things. I read most kids will see porn before the age of thirteen, even if you don't give them access at home unless you homeschool they will be exposed. I was raised very sheltered Jehovah's Witness and when I finally got out in the world I went pretty wild, I'd rather be able to have conversations about things than try to pretend they don't exist, personally.

@Katherine and a good relationship is where it begins, aka teaching your child what’s appropriate vs what is not so they they may come to you with any concerns 🥰 aka the responsibility lays with the parent and not the artist
