Are you concerned about the music our youth are listening to? Do you think that these songs with such powerful sexist and degrading content are influencing your children? My opinion is that yes , that it is influencing and a lot in the society that we are creating, therefore, we are going to present this article to argue how important it is that we start to take measures in this regard. Aristotle said " music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul”.
For this reason, when we listen to a certain musical genre, we feel invaded by those feelings. For example, a person who listens to romantic music, depending on what the lyrics say, will feel nostalgic because he has lost a love or happy for being in love and having found the love of his life.
For this reason it is thought that music has a different meaning for each person. Music can influence the behaviors and emotions of human beings . It is one of the main elements for cultural formation.
Music is normally linked to the customs and roots of a town such as folklore, samba, flamenco, tango... which have been transmitted from generation to generation and which become part of the culture.
What is the origin of Reggaeton?
Reggaeton is a music genre that is influenced by hip hop and Jamaican reggae . It consists mainly of a constantly repeating rhythm and bass lines. This rhythm is very similar in all his songs , often giving the feeling that we are listening to the same song.
In this musical genre , rhyme is used a lot , which makes the songs easy to remember and, consequently, young people are attracted to their rhythm and express their thoughts uncontrollably .
It also causes freedom in the way of speaking, since the lyrics of these songs are full of idioms, words and expressions that are the cause of multiple social complaints, often because they openly promote sex .
The media cannot control who listens to the radio or who doesn't and it is for this reason that the propagation of these songs is left to freedom, even to children under the age of 7 who often hum these lyrics.
Embarrassing lyrics
Many times we do not pay much attention to the lyrics that accompany this rhythm, we only pay attention to the rhythm that they carry without further ado.
The next time you listen to a reggaeton song, I recommend that you pay attention to the lyrics that accompany it . Most likely, you will be very surprised.
If Maluma is one of your favorites, pay attention to the lyrics of one of his songs that plays the most on the radio, "Cuatro babys" . «I don't know what to do anymore I do n't know which one to stay with They all know how to mistreat me in bed They have me well, they have me well with sex I 'm in love with four babies They always give me what I want Chingan when I tell them None of them turns me on but Two are married There are one single The other half psycho and if I don't call her she despairs I'm in love with four babies They always give me what I want They fuck when I tell them None of them turn me on but Two are married There's a single The other half psycho and if I don't call her she gets desperate The first gets desperate She cringes if I do it outside The second has the cover And she pays me to sink it The third takes away my stress Regular powders, we always take three … »
What do you think? For me it is an aberration that children get to listen to this type of lyrics and also that these people are earning a lot of money with it, don't you think?
This is just one example of the thousands of songs that today are within our reach and that of children.
How does it influence our children?
This musical genre talks about sexual content, about drugs and belittles women to such an extent that they see them as a slave to their movements and as a sexual object.
Young people, although they tend to overlook the sexual themes of these letters, does not mean that they are not influenced by them. Teenagers are the most prone to these influences, not only from reggaeton but also from the media in general, because their personality is based on elements such as the way they dress, speak, their musical tastes and the possession of material objects that match those of your friends.
In this way they form groups that have the same tastes and, from this, their behavior, values and identity will depend. Due to the high sexual and erotic content of the reggaeton lyrics and the aggressive and lustful dance called "perreo", a controversy has been created between parents and children, because while for young people it is a way to express themselves and feel free, for parents it is music with little content.
Reggaeton stimulates young people early , invites them to perceive sexuality, only focused on genitalia and not what music really means, because young people are more carried away by the exalted rhythm of reggaeton.
Music has a great effect on our lives and on society , it is manipulable and produces different consequences for each one. Adolescents tend to express themselves through their tastes , identifying with an artist or a song, perhaps reaching the point of using certain products that singers use, but this attitude depends on each adolescent, whether they are influenced by the lyrics or not.
For all that has been said, I believe that the consumption of this type of music is moving us away from the appropriate values in society , it degrades women and is sold to us as sexual objects and it means that we have regressed in some principles that we have fought so hard for. get.
And you…what do you think of this kind of music? How do you think our society is being formed by listening to this musical genre? Do you think it will have an impact on future society and its moral values? Until the next day!
