And Black Sabbath is baby metal now, my 9 year old brother listens to the Naked Brothers and also likes Black Sabbath (not trying to put down Black Sabbath, just saying)
In the 60's and 70's, abortion was illegal, homosexuality was almost completely inexcusable, women were still fighting for equal pay, minorities weren't as accepted as they are today.

meh. The legislation's changed but society is just as cancerous as it ever was, minorities are still repressed and distrusted by idiots who live for holidays and cars, the same people that dismiss modern feminists as 'a bunch of lesbians'.
Views didn't change, the elders saw the profit in the dirty Van Halen lyrics and they let it slide. Now we're oversaturated with titillation, and people that judge music on the profanity content (Black Sabbath is 'baby metal'?). Great.
Luckily that's not a widespread phenomenon, but anything goes in the US.
Dude, duuude, I
lurve freedom of expression, but let's ****ing say something eh?!
But then you have the apathetic, apolitical, 18-35 age bracket ****s like me - who aren't helping any
The Dark Ages are far from over. Heyyyy that would make a
