Music gives you a feeling that nothing else can. It surges through you, whatever feeling the song is portraying and makes you want to keep dancing, keep singing. Every person has their favorite type or genre of music. Everyone has something they like to listen to.
So now, before I start my debate against the Government rating our music, I would just like to say this:
This argument is in all due respect to people who agree with Government music ratings. I am writing this from MY opinion, not others, so everything that is written in this is coming from my heart (like everything else I write).
So let’s start….
Ok, the first reason that music should NEVER be rated is that it is honestly a waste of time for the Government. And I will be the first to tell them that they have better things to do then go through music channels and judge (on provocatively, language, and mental graphics) if we should listen to it. They could be working on a much more serious case then whether or not kids should listen to a song with a couple bad words in it. Really, do you think that we don’t know these words by now, by the time we are teenagers? Yes, if is bad parents shouldn’t allow their kids to listen to it, but it should still be there as a CHOICE to listen to!
My second reason is that people say music inspires them to do things they wouldn’t do without it. This is both an advantage and disadvantage of my point making. For example, music might inspire the next Suzan Collins, Edgar Alan Poe, or Ellen Hopkins to pick up that pencil and write (writers of phenomenal books including Hunger Games). Or maybe it could inspire the next LMAFO band to perform and sing like crazy people. Yes, music inspires people to do things, but who says they are all bad?!
And the disadvantage to my point making is the example played by the famous killer Charlie Manson. He was sure as a person could be that the Beatles new album told him that there was going to be a war between African Americans and Caucasians. Charlie Manson (being Caucasian) thought that if he killed other white people African Americans would be framed. Today, people look back at the album for the blame, saying that if it was rated it could be prevented! Ok, well think of it this way:
THE WRITERS OF THAT ALBUM WERE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE CHILDREN FRIENDLY SONG “YELLOW SUBMARINE”!
You have got to be kidding me if you think its music’s fault for the killings of that psychopath and his group of murders.
Music inspires other people to do better things, so why should the Government rate our inspiration?!
Lastly, this is music. People make it to be listened to. So why on earth should the Government take away not only our freedom to hear it, but those artists (yes artists) freedom to be heard? It is our very first right in the Constitution after all. If the freedom of speech doesn’t work in music, which is pretty much just words sung, then how are they going to treat our other rights?
Conclusion: Nobody deserves to be rated in anything that their rights gives them. Nobody deserves to lose inspiration due to lack of music, and NO the Government doesn’t have the right to, and shouldn’t start, rating our music.
Thank you for reading.
