Are You F@#$ing Kidding Me?

I try to keep from swearing in public and also not using vulgar language when I write, but I have just got to vocalize how much I hate censored music or "clean" editions. When you buy something in iTunes that is edited for adult content it puts a little [clean] icon next to your music. For music that has adult lyrics the also put in a [explicit] next to the song. But no offense to Apple, but that is the type of thing that makes a teenager listen to it.

I just recently got Sugarcult's album "Lights Out" and I was disappointed to find out that it was the clean version. I am 21 years old. There is no reason for there even to be clean versions of music available for me to search for. I want to listen in the original form that it was created, in all its obscenity goodness.

I do my online music shopping by getting ideas from Pandora.com which is an online music sampling space. They don't let you hear songs again once you have heard them, or let you choose songs for that matter.The Idea behind Pandora is to make the user experience music by breaking it down by genre and style of the music you like. Oh yeah, and they don't censor their music. With the whole Sugarcult thing, I was more disappointed than Chris Rock when he bought a clean Jay-Z album. Then again, being able to watch vulgar stand-up comedy acts, make people laugh like this one, (Only Click If You are 18+ years old. Adult Content)



How hypocritical of me to even give you a warning.
So again, the whole concept of cleaning up music confuses me. Kids are not listening to music and then going out and yelling obscenities because they hear them in songs. This is my same argument for video games. Kids are not going out and killing people with guns because they learned how to shoot in a video game. The thing is, everything a kid is going to learn is from the family and school environment they grow up in. So why the hell are we still putting warning labels and making clean versions of music? And don't even think of leaving me a comment about the warning labels on cigarettes. People who smoke choose to smoke also choose to cash their lease on life in early.
