People are held in check by laws. No we cannot not do some of the things we like.

I may not listen to it , but the effects of the music today has changed the attitudes of our young people. They wear their pants low because they think they are imating convicts.
Rappers don't just call women B's and H's they treat them as B's and H's. Some women call themselves B's and H's.

I once read where if you ignored the Nazi's it would not effect you. Should we ignore entertainers such as Pink Floyd ? Billy Joel and James Taylor ? Will they go away as the Nazi's did ? It took a World War to get rid of the Nazi's , what will it take to get rid of rock and rap ?
When Hollywood , television , and the recording studios gave up control look at what happen ? The inmates have taken over.
As you pointed out technology helped.
No, simply replying to your suggestion that "Men" today treat women like dirt. I was simply pointing out that "Men" don't do that. Sorry the distinction was lost on you.

As far as youth of today, its the same as it has been for 1000 years. Children are constantly trying to break out of the mold that their parents are/perceived to be in.

Unless your initials are JC, I'm pretty sure back in the day you felt your parents were "square" or whatever lexicon was in favor back in the 40's-50's.

Back then the trouble makers wore black leather jackets, and used motor oil to hold their "ducks" in shape. Or have you forgotten about that?

As far as Pink Floyd goes, you are literally off your rocker. I hope that someone lifts you back onto it before you catch a cold. Take a couple of hours, and take a listen to "Dark Side of The Moon". Its very good.

And why exactly would you want to ignore James Taylor? Or Billy Joel for that matter?

No more that 40 years ago people should have ignored Frank, Dean, and Sammy. After all, they were a bunch of drunk, mob affilated, womanizing dorks who could happen to sing. Sometimes not even do that very well. Ever hear Sammy sing "In the Ghetto"? What a train wreck!

BTW, GM, JM, or LJ, I do belive we have our first "Nazi" reference in this thread. Thats gotta count for something right?
