“I simply do not understand how you cannot acknowledge that it is much worse today and there is far more of it. It is foolishness to act as if this is not so.”
While the style of music has changed since the days of classic rock, the content of the songs has remained the same.
Read the lyrics of Led Zeppelin, the Doors, ACDC, Aerosmith, Kansas, Rolling Stones, etc, etc.
There were bands active in the 70’s and 80’s that glorified Satan!
Rap and Hip Hop are not my thing, but I understand that if our kids are intelligent and we raise them right, they will be able to deal with popular art forms.
The Kids are Alright.
“The kids are alright”
Yep, they sure are::::

You just made my point. We are talking about 40 years ago, so I was really cutting it off well before the groups you are naming. As for the Doors, I’m not sure when they came out with certain songs. I know they were at Woodstock, of course, which pre-dates the 70s.
I also agree that some of the bands glorified Satan, ala Black Sabbath, but the fact remains that there is far, far more of it. You can name a few bands, but the major top hits of the 60’s and even into most of the 70’s were pretty mild and bland. Just the fact that nowadays they have to have a clean version for radio play is a clear example of how far it’s gone.
I have no issues with any style or type of music, per se, but there is no doubt that certain styles tend to want to reach a specific target audience and those styles tend to be the offenders.
P.S. Have you heard the song Superman? Do you even know what it means to say “Superman that Ho?” I have to know this stuff so that when I talk to kids they know that I’m aware of what goes on. They can’t pull stuff over on me.
Here are the lyrics and I forgot the name but it’s not superman: Excuse me for putting this on here, but I really think people need to know what the kids listen to. I’ve seen kids go crazy when someone played this song.
If you don’t know what it means, I’ll be happy to email you privately. Seriously, if you think this even compares with 99 percent of what came out even by the Stones, et al., then I think you just don’t know what’s out there. Your kids might be good, but I’m in the schools. I don’t want kids to even be exposed to this rotting filth!

You think this is even remotely like what was out in the 70s? There is no way. And by the way, how old are you anyway? I grew up in the 60s and 70s.
Actually, The Jack has a very good message....
