The Smut and Sadism of Rock (cds, album, covers, quote)

Because we should all love one another. Rape is illeagal and so is "rape pornography" so why shouldnt rap music be?

And rock and roll should be about love and peace.

A song about rape isn't raping someone. If you hear a song about rape you're not going to go rape someone. For all you know some rapist could be a fan of Christian music. I bet you asked all the rapists alive what their favorite song was you would find a variety of answers none of which were connected in anyway and the most popular song would probably be Stairway to Heaven or some classic rock anthem, hell it could even be a hymnal. There is no scientific information or even psychological backing to this theory that if you hear a combination of syllables arranged in a certain matter you're going to turn into a rapist.

Yes, actually I have reconsidered. I meant songs "glorifying rape". Many folk songs have themes of rape and muder, as long as it shows it in a remorseful or "sad" (for lack of a better word) way

Thats your opinion. Maybe I don't want my music to be about peace and love

Besides, censorship does nobody any good. We all make our own choices based on what we believe not based on propaganda.

then listen to metal or rap....but keep your rape out of my rock!

Why does rape need to be kept out of rock?

digglefallen · 03-30-2008, 04:16 PM

It doesnt but it should be portrayed in a shameful way....I think Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones sums up my point....ah em

"Rape, murder! It's just a shot away! Love, sister it's just a kiss away kiss away kiss away!"

Why should it have to be portrayed in a certain way?

Yeah, it should be.

But it doesn't have to be all about love and peace. Sometimes you need music that gets the anger out of your system. Rape and murder music is still terrible, but sometimes you just gotta go freaking crazy head-banging while your angry so that you don't explode on someone else.

Of course, you could argue that music that is peaceful and loving is better than music that lets you darker emotions, but then it really just covers it up and saves it for later.
