Answers to my question



I would like to answer some of my questions
  About question 1 how does the censoring system works when a new song come out?

I found that when a new song come out, if the new song was considered to contain dirty words or sexual expression, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)  will put a label on it writing “Parental Advisory explicit content”.



 About Question 2   Who is in control of music censoring ship
  A organization called  Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC)  has controlled the music censorship. PMRC was found on 1985 with the purpose of protect children form be influenced by the music which considered to have violent , drug using and sexual expression.

 About Question 3    Everyone knows that Motion picture rating system was used in censoring films. Will they make a same system used in censoring music in the future?
 According to my research , I found even the RIAA will put a label(as I mentioned in Q1 ) on some rap/ rock album, there is still not a rating on the label like G/PG/PG-13/R on the movies, but I think PMRC will creat a rating system in the future.

About Question 4   In the music censorship which words exactly will be covered with “bleep…..”
 I can't found exactly which word will be censored, but every word which consider to be dirty, sexual expression meaning will be covered with BLEEP....

 About Question 5  How do teenagers think about music censorship?

 I found most of them are against the music censorship and try to get censorship free music.

About Question 6  How do parents think about music censorship
 Most parents worry about their children will be affected by some rap music so they think that music censorship is necessary.

About Question 7 How do singers think about music censorship?
 Most rap/ rock singers or bands are against the music censorship. I also found that Eminem has found a “ censorship free music radio station "

yahoo group

I choose two yahoo groups called DestroyerZ and theunitedvoice. I chose this two groups because it had more than 25 members in the group and it was recently posted. It is not really a music censorship group but it has many post about censorship and many people were writing about music. I would like to get many information and opinion about music censorship from the group member.

2 discussion groups

I found 2 discussion groups which related to our topic. one is [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/alt.censorship ] this one is google discussion group. It discuss all kinds of censorship including music censorship. However this is a huge group and there are too many imformation. I still need time to find something useful  . The other group is a[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/alt.rock-n-roll.metal] this is a group mainly talk about metal rock music. but there are also some discussion about music censorship .

Answers to the question

I think music censorship is not a good idea since there is no need to use unnecessary language when we don't have to. We could use different words instead. I also believe that it will give bad influence to teenagers because probably they will sing that song and learn bad words and things that they dont need to know. In other hand I think there is a meaning of using bad words. May be that song could only be meaningful if they use that certain words instead of polite words. Adults think it is not necessary to use bad language in a song because they dont like their children sing that song with saying those bad words. We often here bad words in movies as well. I think this is the same thing. They should care more about teenagers and be careful with the languages they use. We are talking this with english but other countries have this problem too. Japan doesnt really use the bad words but I think they are using and singing about unpolite thing like sexuality. I dont think this will be solved in future because many people actually like the songs with those words.
