It's clean, dont worry! What is this message saying to you?

Does Music Send the Same Message to Everyone?

I have noticed that in a rap song, it offends more older people than younger. In a classical song, younger students tend to be less appreciative. In true hip hop songs, people don't understand the meaning of what the artist is trying to tell them. So my question is... Does music send the same message to everyone or do we block out what we want and take in what we feel is good to us? I have found that as I grow older, I start to really listen to music and the message it is sending to me, as well as others. Sometimes I feel like we try so hard to fit in by listening to the "right" music and try to conform that we rarely know what the song is even about. Especially rap songs these days. I will catch myself signing the words and I don't even know what they're talking about! So you tell me. Do we all get the same message from music or decide what we can hear? (like a rap song that talks about terrible things but we just "don't hear that part")

I know this is in another language, but after seeing the video, during class, about the young girls dancing, i wanted to see other young ladies that were forced into doing other provocative dances. The way the little girl in the pink was moving like an adult dancer had to have practiced those moves for some time. A young girl's body cannot move that way on its on and the parents of these children need to learn what is appropriate and what is too far. As citizens, we look at our society today and think how bad it has become. Well... I think we have our answer.

Today, I sat at the movie theater and watched couples walk past me to go see their show. I noticed the nonverbal signs of all of them. I took into account that some held hands, some walked arm in arm, some didn't touch at all, and some couldn't get enough of each other. Interesting!
