<or My Hippie Mother is Insulting Death Metal pt.2>
We were getting ready to leave to pick my sister up from a friend's house and when we got into my mother's car,I put Opeth's Blackwater Park on the stereo.I told her that she might like to hear some of their music because there are great melodies on some songs and the guitar playing is amazing,since she's plays guitar and pften listens to some of my cds to play the music back on her guitar.I had to tell her to get over the death metal,since she's always complaining about me listening to death metal.So she listened to some of the songs,said stuff like "How can you listen to all of that growling?" and I almost had to twist her arm to make her say anything positive.All she said was "It was good" and "At least it's decent."Then we pick my 10 yr.old sister up from her friend's house and she(my sister)turns on her rap/pop radio station and this rap song comes on w/a chorus something like"It's gettin'hot in here,so take off all your clothes/I am getting so hot,I wanna take my clothes off"And the kid is singing along to this shit.Normally I don't mind the music itself,though I do think it's stupid.But my mother,who is so worried about me always listening to music that "brainwashes"me into not believeing in god,doesn't even give a damn that her 10yr.old kid is hearing this and more rap songs w/lyrics like that about sex,sex and more sex.So,I guess that means that metal lyrics w/profanity and about death and not believing in god that a 14yr.old is listening to are less appropriate than rap lyrics about all types of sex and the gangster lifestyle that a 10yr.old is listenig to?It just seems that now something on EMPTY-TV is more appropriate for a little kid to watch even if it's like softcore porn,just as long it's on tv and it sells records.
