Positive Music, where it gone?

[admin]

These day everyone wants to follow whats hip and up beat. Most of our local music and the majority of the international music is all based about MONEY, SEX, CARS, WOMEN. Why is it that all the positive music are not being played or better yet no one cares to continue in the good trend. Is money everything why is it that we have to sing about beating out of the opposite sex (females) and the thing about it is that the women are dancing the songs that they are being portrait are sex slaves. Crime is on the increase and more negative music is being produced to drive the youths to having the wrong thinking about life.

who knows were it went... thats why i say i only listen to rock... but i listen to 80's and 90's stuff too, just in the last five years or so the music stated to suck, i dont like alot of what is over played today.. I'm getting turn though lol cuz its like everywhere, right now i searching youtube for songs i used to know... the good times.

Brbk is right.... the music is there but if it does not sell, it does not make it to the charts... And as u can see the type of music actually making it now to the chats includes drugs, guns, etc....

I mostly listen to retro music, soul music, only music that has meaning to it not these now ah days rubbish people making sometimes i does get vex about want my gf does be listening to , movado only sings negative music so called gangster

like i said in another post, i believe it's the new music that's influencing a lot of people to be just like the artists and do what they're singing, because i know for a fact that if i listen to rap music i become enraged and furious, i don't usually listen to it but it's the words they use that just put me into a trance, especially immortal technique- dance with the devil. But maybe people also listen to the bad music because they think it makes them tougher? like if an artist was to describe growing up in a ghetto and fighting to live became embedded in his life, little kids might think that "hey look, he did this and that and he survived and is tough i could be just like him"

Admin and not only that i hate chutney music now its only about sex,horning, promiscuious behaviour, rum, woman, her body parts.. for example the noni juice song , jep sting naina, all these things. I listen to rock all the time and well yes i can admit although i hate the songs now-a-days i kinda sing it because i accustom hearing it somewhere. Yes i like movado too only some songs of his but it doesn't mean i does follow him or really take on the lyrics.. I jus like the beat or something..it depends on the person and if they choose to follow it and i am not saying they are all wrong people should realize by signing these things they have alot of fans who are willing to do and act as the things they said in the song eg. In ah d car back by Movado people are encouraged to treat girls the way he described it in the song get my point??

Alot of youths are listening the new age type of music, listening the details about, getting rich fast, guns and drugs are nice, women are just sex toys, look at T&T see whats the result of this. Its people under the age of 25 doing most of the raping, kidnapping, killing in Trinidad

 

[Resha]

Do you why they (youths) listen to that kinda music? My guess is that they(youths) look at these guys (singers)who sports the latest wear, the image of the person, the popularity of the person, everything they (youths) want to be!!!!!

 

[admin]

Alot of the youths in T&T getting blinded by these stuff, money, sex, and cars, People should try to sing more positively, Is money really everything in life?

 

[LadyDeath]

I them car shows yes i know it hav friendship , workmanship and hardwork and some good people there i not saying it all bad but i just saying it does have real rudeness going on there. i attending these shows since i was 12 yrs and up and the kinda music with violence and sex talk and how the girls dress and all these things influencing the youths to act a certain way. Music is really an addictive thing and you can tell a person by the music they listen too...Look at this i could of never believe the day i saw BOYS DRESSING LIKE GIRLS WITH THE TIGHT JEANS THAT PRINTING OUT THIER PRIVATE PARTS AND BACKSIDES AND HALF OF IT YOU CAN SEE ..ITS PLAIN DISGUSTING AND TO ME ALL WHO WEARS IT IS A HOMO AND NEEDS A BOYFRIEND!

Last week Saturday when i went with karina in her grads i was so disgusted with the type of music they were playing on set of music with cussing and music that were discriminating to women, it was in ship wreak btw, i enjoyed the grads with my babe but it was a grads for god sake, and that was the only kinda of stupid music they were playing, i'm still disgusted by it

I grew up my children differently from some people to phase out and detect bad music and influences that they face and hear. I am sad to see that a graduation that supposed to be filled with love and nice flowing songs was only filled with sex and violence and this bateman talk.

 

[kingfish]

Music really has alot of do with crime and teh way people behave could you imagine it have a song with lines like " bend over bend over gul, Bend over bend over gul" and the best part is that the same gender(females) it offends and insults dance Volga to this kinda of song/music nastiness

 

[RauCous]

Why does bad music get better hype than the more sensible options? I could never understand why people rush to certain kinds of music. Especially the kind that reinforces negative traits. Do people accept violience and vulgarity as integral to them enjoying life? Are they capable of enjoying life otherwise?

 

[LadyDeath]

Well if people like how men does be singing of females body and doing stuff with them and talking as if they are sex toys then what is to said again. Is the people's decision to cast out these bad things in society but only they so weak that they letting the devil in

People please read this. i found this article and its on a parental view about Music and its influences on children. i think that MORE of The U.S children would be more exposed to this kind of behaviour because of the environment there so i think this is how our children of trinidad will or already have becoming .Tell me what you get from this article i not saying anything until i hear what you guys have to say

I consider myself to be a healthy, well-adjusted adult. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, listen to NPR, and I even wash glass jars before I recycle them. I'm practically perfect! However, if you were to break into my music collection and judge me by the content of some of the song lyrics, you might think I was a drug-using, sexist, suicidal, angry, violent, and perverted person.

And based on the sales figures for bands and musicians ranging from Tool to Christina Aguilera, I'm not the only parent who can be so judged! Even the most straight-laced among us probably have at least one song in their collections that they'd never want their children to hear.

What's truly scary is that we now live in a world where the suggestive lyrics of Madonna, the angry diatribes of Metallica and the anti-authority attitudes of N.W.A. will soon be classic rock. Unlike the music of the 1960s, which employed innuendo to deal with sex and violence, today we are inundated with direct and vulgar lyrics ― some of which are performed by my favorite bands.

But just because I like jogging to the antisocial sounds of Slayer, it doesn't mean I condone their messages. So how am I to respond if my kids happen to scan my MP3-player and ask, "Daddy, what are Violent Femmes?" or "Daddy, what does N.W.A. stand for?" And how do I protect my children from these potentially damaging messages without sounding like a hypocrite?

(Note: Music, of course, is not the only potentially harmful product of popular culture. Many of the principles of this piece are also applicable to other forms of salacious entertainment such as movies, video games and cable news.)
Brain-damaged baby mamas: Why we care revisited

Just in case there's still a parent out there who thinks it's cute when her daughter sees a swing-set pole and says, "That's what Christina Aguilera dances with" or finds it funny when their son says, "Yo dog, I need some chronic," let's briefly revisit what can happen when an adolescent uses drugs or is exposed to sex.

Chronic, for those not in the know, is slang for high-quality marijuana popularized by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. It's not short for the San Francisco Chronicle, which I'd originally thought.

Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D., a mother of three and a parenting expert, reminds us that "recreational drugs cause alterations in your brain that, if your brain is still forming can be permanent."

From what I've seen, they alter the part of the brain that would want to move out of his parents' house before the age of thirty. We all love our children, but we don't want a middle-aged stoner in the basement just because we forgot to mention that for every Snoop Dog who had success despite heavy marijuana use, there are millions of other dogs who didn't.

Equally damaging, especially to young girls, are the sexual messages. Dr. Ellen Rome, MD, MPH, Head, Section of Adolescent Medicine, Cleveland Clinic says, "We know that if kids watch X-rated videos, they are more likely to have sex themselves, more likely to not use protection, more likely to imitate the behavior, and they're more likely [both guys and girls], to identify a girl as wanting to be raped who dresses provocatively. You can extrapolate that effect to music."

While music may be arguably less provocative than X-rated imagery, it still glamorizes sex. But sex can lead to pregnancy ― and there's nothing glamorous about missing the junior prom due to a colicky baby.
