Podcast: Too Much Too Young. Script.
We are Too Much Too Young. This podcast is about how music, television and film can effect the behaviour and ability of teenagers and children.
My section of this podcast is based on the content in music that can have a bad influence on children and teens.
My first example is the song 'S&M' by Rihanna which is sexually explicit and contains suggestive lyrics such as 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me'. This song describes scenes of an adult nature that are inappropriate to children and young teens.
Another example is Eminem's song 'Fack' which contains adult content aswell as strong language. This is again considered inappropriate as parents do not want their children introduced to these topics especially at such a young age. Although he manages to portray this topic in a comedic yet shocking way. For example 'I like boobs, boobs, boobs, Now see that gerbil, grab that tube. Shove it up my butt let that little rascal nibble on my asshole' Although he makes it comedic, It doesn't make it appropriate.
The final song I want to talk about is 'Reckless and relentless' By Asking Alexandria which encourages a life of drink, drugs and sex. Lyrics such as ' All the girls and drink and drugs but don't get me wrong im having a fucking blast . I am rock and roll living a life you can only dream of' suggest that this lifestyle is glamorous and could lead people to believe that such behavious is fun and exciting.
