Why Music Should be Censored
Have you ever pondered the thought of why our society is cursing so much? Did you predict what the source of this problem is? There is a great chance that the origin of our society cursing is uncensored music .Music should be censored because the profanity in it models children to use fowl language and goes against people’s moral values and religion.
Initially uncensored music that many listen to is getting to the younger generation .We all know that children are our future .What happens a majority of the time when a juvenile hears a new word ,they use the new word right? Eventually most children will be using profanity .The real question is, how will our society be in ten years from now.
Additionally music should be censored because hearing cursing in the public is disturbing .To my understanding music helps calm the nerves .When you are relaxing do you really want to hear explicit language. The outcome will be public life being less pleasant .Some people enjoy censored music just because it makes their everyday life a little more placid.
Ultimately, the largest con of having uncensored music is that it goes against beliefs .Music that is not censored may affect the way people interpret their beliefs ,and potentially will become a bad habit throughout that religion. Some people probably enjoy songs that swear, but maybe it's because they don't know realize how immoral using fowl language is. Imprecate music changes the way these people live life.
If someone were to ask me my opinion whether music should be censored or not ,I will respond by saying music that is not filtered is rapidly changing beliefs ,corrupting children ,and disturbing the peace .I don't see the purpose of having profanity in music anyway.

I do not understand what is "foul" or "immoral" about using profanities. In fact, they are used so often nowadays that they have lost most of their meaning.
Besides, musicians are not responsible for teaching children propriety; parents are. I know that is where I learned most of the expletives I know.
Furthermore, if music is censored because people do not like the words it contains, what else could it be censored for? "Changing beliefs" is not inherently bad; if we take away the potential for that, we are giving the government an opportunity to suppress unpopular viewpoints and take away our freedoms.
I agree. Music with swearing can ruin the song.
Swearing is just utterly bad. Swearing, to me, is a bad excuse for having a limited vocabulary to not be able to express yourself.
I can understand that a word like that might be powerful and pump up the song, but it's not needed.
I agree with you. Some words really should be censored out, no matter what the target age audience is or if the producer is an adult. Adults should not even be using such language, as they are example for kids. I hate listening to a song, then hearing a racial slur, or on obscenity. It ruins some of the song.
Swearing and using such language, to me, is just a poor excuse for not having the vocabulary to express your thoughts in a way without using vulgarity.
The extent I would want to hear is D***. Swearing really just taints and defiles all we do.
