How Do You Feel About Vulgar Lyrics?

I have absolutely no idea how you’d try and filter that as a parent though, other than maybe becoming a really strict helicopter parent if necessary. I don’t have kids yet.

I’ve tried to get my kids into metal, and they just won’t have it. They think it’s dorky. They’d rather listen to film scores.

My parents never really pushed the issue very hard. They didn’t like the music I liked, but for the most part, just let me listen to what I wanted to. In all honesty, I had no idea what any of the lyrics meant. It’s actually the music that I listened to in middle school that I hear now and think “holy crap, it’s a good thing my parents never heard that.” But I could have sworn I remember listening to this song a million times in the house as a kid and my parents never mentioned anything about it. I have no idea why.

I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness.

ah. The one religion that even mormons think is super strict.

I generally don’t like vulgar lyrics. The more spiritual I am (and that can vary from day-to-day somewhat), the more vulgar lyrics are likely to bother me.
