I want to get some things off my chest. As of late whatever I do or say falls upon the deaf and blind. I mean when I speak it seems I am talking to someone who blocking my voice. When I am emotional about something and I tell someone they seem to be too blind to see the emotion behind the moment. Sometimes I want to speak my mind but the voice that comes out is the opposite of the way I feel you know. I just want people to understand where I am coming from but they need to be less the way they are right now to know it. It’s the fact that they are unknowingly unwilling to accept something that is not theirs.
You know they say everyone has a voice in the world today but honestly I think that is false. FALSE. FALSE. FALSE. It’s a common fail-safe that Corporate America pushes upon teens and young adults to give them hope in something they have no hope in. Do you honestly believe Corporate America wants to hear your voice? No they don’t never have to be honest. They want you to buy their products and then leave them alone. It has worked for many years but the end of the Communism as I call it in Corporate America is coming. I am here to tell you I am going to fight for your voice to be heard. I am going to show everyone that some slacker can become something rather impressive. I speak from the heart and I speak with truth and disdain for the Corporations.
I want to talk about the aspect that Corporate America is so strongly against and that’s freedom of speech. As of late the noose around the necks of those who speak their mind is becoming tighter and tighter. If you don’t know what I mean take Howard Stern into example. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has fined Howard Stern and the Clear Water Communications brand hundreds of thousands of dollars to Howard's free speech which never bothered anyone before. But in this age parents think they have a right to control more than they know or are capable to understand. I don’t see how a swear word on an album or on the internet or on the radio, for that fact, can demoralize America's youth as much as they say. I mean there is Domestic abuse which happens in more than 45% of Americas homes. I mean that is worse than the 'F' word or the 'B' word you know what I mean. Its just lyrics to a song of a person who is expressing his or her emotions. I thought that was the freedom of speech, but I could be wrong I am just a slacker remember?
I am saying if you want to do something about what your children are listening then show them other bands that you approve of. Instead of Shadows Fall, Marilyn Manson or Korn tell them about Taking Back, Evanescence & Emery. You know what I mean. Bands that express their feelings with less cuss words. Don’t act up because of one bands expressions or emotions when there are thousands of bands out there. Bands that you may approve of. So let the Korn's, the Manson's and such use the words they want, or the ways of wordings things they want. Don’t standardize music into one whole when there are pieces of the puzzle you have forgot about.
I want to tell you this, now remember this is based on my own observation so it is thus my opinion and not that of fact. In households of poverty, abuse and hatred for one another the teens of that family chose bands like Cannibal Corpse, Insane Clown Posse, Suffocation & bands like that. You want to know why? Its because they can associate with the feelings they show. The way they speak to them and thus the cult followings. Now in households with love, no abuse and the middle-class wealth the teens are more likely to listen to bands like Taking Back Sunday, Avion, Linkin Park and MXPX. I mean there is always stragglers in each aspect of it but if you add hate to your home you child will seek out those who feel as they do. So instead of knocking around the band for what you see in your child think about it and realize you’re the soul influence. Music is there to sooth you no matter what type that it is. It is there like a comfort food as of sorts. Suicide is higher among families who have abuse within. The darkness of the hatred and abuse cause children, mainly teens, to believe that they are insignificant in the world and thus they want out. If you don’t believe me ask you child that question. Ask them if they feel alone. Then ask them does their choice of music help them through those rough times. Then ask them this last question. Think about it before you do. Ask them the reason they cut, or do drugs or try to Overdose is because of you, the parent, taking away their comfort creatures such as their music. Ask them and see what you get for an answer. Trust me you wont believe it until you hear it from them.
I cannot take out the fact that children are influenced by music. People who like Shadows Fall, Katalysm, Lucana Coil and bands like that tend to dress in dark clothes and have that Gothic look to them as you all call it now days. People who listen to Britney Spears, *NSync, JoJo and such tend to have the look of sophistication and thus the Prepatory look to them. Those who listen to Less Than Jake, The Used and the Killers tend to dress in the middle of both. They have the Punk look going for them. I say all this because if you are into something you mimic it. So this reverts back to the violence in the home. Think about it.
Remember music reflects what the children are into. Take a look at your child and see what you want and then ask to see what it is really like. Be a friend to your child before becoming anti-this and anti-that to them. Don’t take away what they know because you don’t like it. Take a step back and see what they think about it and then react. Don’t react then listen. Listen then react and you shall learn more. Music is a heavy thing to take upon yourself to understand but there is so many aspects to it. Not all music is treated the same nor is it the same. Don’t hate it because you don’t know it or that is new or that you think its causing your child to do what they do. Listen to a few songs and listen hard because in every song there is emotion, something hidden. Maybe you might like the message.
Well Just remember Music is the souls dance. Without it the world is dark. With it the world is vibrant and worth looking forward to another day.
