My daughter seem to be captivated by the Hip Hop music, and the wearing of tight clothes.  My son being the more conservative thinker only dresses Hip Hop, because he feels girls are more impressed or attracted to guys who dressed as such.  Hip Hop is here to stay no problem – it has it’s plus and minus like everything else.   Myself,  I’m a bit more conservative probably because I came up during a different time.  Sometimes I’m a little more conservative than I like to be.  When it comes to music I like all types; but not all music pleases me especially if it doesn’t move me.  Some music that makes you want to get up and dance; some covers you like a warm blanket; or seem to touches my inner soul.  One of the problems I have with Hip Hop music is it’s language – not usually the beat!  The beat is usually very cool, but the language?   The cursing, and raw sexual content does more damage than any good!  The vulger language, and raw sexual content turns me off, and makes me lose a respect for the artist for selling out.  It’s just not necessary to get your point across.   I know some people argue and say “ah well, its necessary because that’s the audience they are trying to reach.”  Well maybe, but they’re reaching more than just that particular audience.  What about children?  Then some will say, “well it’s the parents responsibility not to let the children hear it or their responsibility to keep it away from them.”  True up to a point, because you can’t protect your childern every moment all of the time.   What about when they go outside they hear it outside all the time.  People don’t have speech their minds without a guard over their mouth with no requards for whomever.

It’s effect on the family, and society seem more and more negative as if by some special design.
