Modern MusicEssay Preview: Modern MusicReport this essayModern MusicIn an age of error the most influential thing in a child and or a teenagers life is music. Whether it be Reggae, Hip Hop, Gangster Rap, R&B, Oldies Rock, Latin, or Heavy Metal it still has a way to overpower a persons mind no matter how old they are. Right now pretty much everybody that I talk to when I am on the Internet like Rap. I dont understand how people could listen to non-stop cursing and fast-paced lyrics. Even though my opinion of the music isnt so great the singers have to get some credit for being able to recite poetry in such a manner. I prefer the heavier stuff like Slipknot, KoRn, or Kittie because I enjoy talented people who play their own instruments, and personally I like very loud music.
Reggae is well known because of one group and that group is Bob Marley and The Wailers. I happen to like them because they pretty much set the standards for a band that are known to people as Sublime. They are sort of a rock “n” roll/reggae band with hit songs like “What I Got” and “Santeria”. My friends and I sometimes refer to Bob Marley as the “God” of music. Another popular style of music is the Pop music category. I think it features a bunch of no talent boy groups like NSync* and the Backstreet Boys. It is artists like this who are ruining our countries youth. These bands are corrupting the minds of our teen and pre-teen girls, and I dont believe its right that they are doing this because very rarely do girls like the same music as my friends and I.
Finally we get to the music that gets more interesting the heavy metal/rock music. I happen to like this style of music the best because the music means something. I dont think that it is right for the tabloids to go out every time something happens with shootings at schools and blame it on the rock music. Rap is the music that gives the message of killing and shooting people. I dont think it is right that they can go blame artists like Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne for children with weak minds when it comes to music that deals with death. Finally, my last point is that the tabloids judge a musician by the way that they look and from what they heard about them. They dont look or listen to the lyrics to the songs they judge by their image and that is the wrong way to look at it.
The newspapers add to the affect by talking about how heavy metal music and Goth music are bad for the childs mind. “School Shootings are always caused by troubled teens who listen to heavy metal music,” they say. The only reason they do the shootings is not because they listen to a certain kind of music; it is because they have weak minds that cant handle the lyrics of the band. The tabloids not only blame the music but they also blame the movies. It isnt right that they jump to conclusions that it is all the horror movies and the musics fault. There are bands that write lyrics about things that they have experienced in their lives. The music I just happen to listen to is heavy metal and Goth metal.
The bands in Goth metal have names such as Cannibal Corpse, Cradle of Filth, Six Feet Under, and Type O Negative. They are known for having songs that deal with death and other dark things. Six Feet Under is another band who Im not too familiar with so I really cant talk about how they can influence children. All I know is that their most recent album features a guy on the cover receiving a lobotomy by machines. Cradle of Filth is a band that combines witchcraft with music to make really sick and twisted lyrics. They are a band that I listen to because I like the way the singer alters his voice to sound all weird like a witch. The people of the United States do not approve of their music or concerts

Hate music, is something you would think of when you’re doing a song for a living. And this is definitely something the song has received quite a bit of criticism since it’s the same song that received the most negative coverage. I really did get upset when the song was written for MTV, and in fact did write two songs for MTV for 2 years (the first one was released in 1993 and the second one came out just a few years ago, it still exists, but only by coincidence). It has never had support and have gone in the negative. It may cause my skin to burn out with each passing week (sorry about that). Please don’t be the judge of this song or any of this. I have been doing this for more than 2 years now and am still trying to figure out how to deal with it. The fact being, it is the most hated song in the world. This is only allowed on YouTube, and in some circles it seems the public is not getting it. It is just called it hate music, I don’t mean it in the same tone and manner as the other songs. Please do not create this like this, or use it to promote other hate material. This song and other hate songs can be found in the “Donations” section of YouTube.

I’m gonna get your head around whether or not you want to use this kind of song. I am not saying there should be some sort of rule in this sort of thing, but if you feel that you haven’t made this sort of movie lately, feel free to start listening to it while it is still being considered for deletion/restoration. Please don’t make it a whole thing until you feel that you are being unfairly treated and may be in
