Do you think its wrong to not let your kids listen to the music they like?

Question

My friends mom is like that. She won't let her listen to the s*x Pistols. I think this is wrong. Would you not let your kids listen to music they like?

Answer 1

haha my dad was the one who started me on listening to things liek the s*x pistols and stuff like that. i will allow my kids to listen to anything as long as it isnt c**p

Answer 2

I think as parents we have to monitor what our children are watching and listening too and I don't think that children under a certain age (usually 16) should be listening to music that has cuss words or that talk about going around killing people or anything like that.

Answer 3

i would let my kids listen to any music you know why here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsUKZUx6V... her is an other link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4U1f-NU9... and another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6TUiKA6c... .

all music played the rigth way or backwards end up having something to do with s*x or abuse. and your brain pick up sound backwards even if u hear them the rigth way. how if u had kids and u lve them is would u want them to music. check out all the links first.

Answer 4

My mom was the same way.

She didn't let me listen to MCR or Fallout boy cuz she says they're a-and I quote-"bad influece". wtf?

As long as there isn't a whole lot of cusing or something, yeah i'd let my kids listen to the music they like.

Answer 5

I think it would depend on what type of music. If the kid would show the parents the lyrics and if they think it's right then ya they can listen to it but if not, find similar artists that are kool yet not offensive or whatever. Like...if they like rock then try billy talent, Fall out boy, or default or even Nickleback. Just Replace and see if they like it or not.

Answer 6

I think kids should listen to any kind of music...but

depending on what your belief systems are...I think thats very hard to debate on..

Answer 7

I'm 14 and I buy my own music and then if my parents think its inappropriate I just don't listen to it around them, I listen to the s*x Pistols, I also listen to the Clash, and songs like Death Or Glory (amazing song) my dad doesn't like some of the lyrics but he still thinks its a great song so he doesn't care

Answer 8

yes i think its very wrong its robbing them of their freedom just because she has something against the s*x Pistols doesnt mean her kids do

Answer 9

Not if its garbage it is not wrong to not let them listen to it.

Answer 10

It really depends on you age and maturity level and what ype of music. I'd say once they're 14 you've taught them all you can teach them and now it's time for them to go out and find out who and what they want to be and do!

if your friend is like 12 or 13 i can understand why her parents wouldn't want her listening ot the s*x Pistols, because i'm sure they remember the 80's punks and don't want their kids turning out like that.

Answer 11

Why would people go after the music? Words are just words listening to music won't harm the kid geez.

Answer 12

Only if it has bad words or anything inappropriate

Answer 13

I think that it's kinda weird.
