I hate to love it. I love music, and most pop songs I cannot stand when I first hear them, but find myself singing along whenever they're on the radio, and really enjoying.
The music is generally great, it's just the videos that I can't stand. Young kids today are exposed to so much sexualisation, and music is no different. I see it in the girls I teach - they're always wanting to add in moves from their favourite videos. They have no idea what the moves mean, what they're representing, they just see older and cooler people doing them and they want to do it too. It's shocking!
I don't see why sex has to be such a big part of everything - it's great, but it's not the be all and end all of life. It doesn't need to be so 'in your face' all the time. I'd like kids to just be able to be kids, while they're kids. I'm worried for my children, when they arrive, for how quickly society expects them to grow up and be mature. It's scary.
