Are Kids Exposed To Explicit Content Too Much?

For the past few years, pop stars costumes have gotten smaller and smaller, their lyrics have gotten more and more sexual, and their dancing has become suggestive of things that children should not be exposed to as much.

"We'll melt your popsicle," Perry sings to tots.

       Global artists like Rihanna, Katy Perry, and even Lady Gaga strut their stuff in their music videos wearing next to nothing like it’s the normal thing to do. Maybe it is, but not when at least 40% of your audiences are barely out of their Huggies.

Pop artists like Rihanna are to RAUNCHY for charts!

      Not only is it the costumes, but the lyrics that they sing. Rihanna wrote a song with a chorus consisting of lines like “sex in the air” and “whips and chains excite me.” Katy Perry sings, “We’ll melt your popsicle” and “sex on the beach.” Gaga sings, “I want your vertical stick.” Children not only repeat these words nonchalantly, but also question the connotations behind the lyrics. They’re left alone to wonder about the sexual references that the artists are inflicting on them. I feel for them, I really do. Back when I was a little, S Club 7 had a hit called “don’t stop movin’.” Of course this was clear to mean dancing rather than anything else. But if Rihanna released a hit under the same title, we’d automatically think it was something to do with sex. And that’s just based on her previous records.

         So what do we do about this? At the moment, children have to be brought into the adult world younger than ever before thanks to pop sensations’ innuendos. Maybe there needs to be a parental advisory sticker on the CD’s. Although, I can’t see that would make a difference, considering most parents just suffice to their child’s demands in the modern working day rather than spend time with them and bring them up in a sex free zone.  

 Society can’t go on like this or children’s innocent minds will be taken at an earlier age and what it means to be a child will be changed indefinitely.
