Discovery Journal #9

I completely disagree with the article about muscial cheese. I believe that the music has nothing to do with upholding Generation X. Music in movies is used to eject emotion into an audience. For instance, depending on how fast or slow the tempo of a song is, it can promote a feeling of anxiousness or sadness. I also don't agree with the idea of the 1970s attempting to make a "comeback". It is true that a lot of songs from that time are used in movies or whatnot, but I don't think platform shoes will ever return to the market (unless for halloween purposes) .Going back to the word "cheese", I thought it was funny. I never knew that that would be the term used to describe that "back in the day" song that you haven't heard in ages.

Now for the article about Ice-T and his highly debated song "Cop Killers"...I say, " SO WHAT!!! " .There are far worst songs out there that need to be debated. Songs about sex, adultery, suicide, drugs and homicide flood the radio. No one has tried to ban those from the radio and if they have, they were not successful. Explicit songs that contain the the words "bitch" and "hoe" in every other sentence would cause more damage to society than a song about killing cops would. Think about it: How many times a day to you here a kid, a teenager, an adult call someone (especially women) a "bitch" or "hoe"? How many times a day do you hear of someone killing a cop? The first definetly outweights the second.
