Rock and Roll... & it's Influence on Sexual Attitudes

While scouring the internet for an interesting topic to blog about I came across an interesting on detailing rock and rolls influences on peoples sexual attitudes. I for one found this topic rather intriguing and also quite relevant. With today “pop stars” clothing seeming to get shorter and more revealing with every live show performed and also the added amount of swearing and sexual innuendo one cannot go without thinking that some of these messages might be messing with today’s youths minds.

Lady gaga is a perfect example of this. Don’t get me wrong I love the girl she’s quite possibly my favourite top 40 artist at the moment (not saying much I know) but surely when she stands up in front of the media and say that all of her songs are based upon sex and was written for homosexuals. Don’t believe me? Ever listened to the lyrics? “Let’s have some fun this beat is sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.” But don’t think is stops there. Many other artists seem to be slipping in homosexual orientated lyrics into their songs. I mean we’ve all heard Kate Perry’s “I’ve Kissed a girl” and don’t tell me that you didn’t stop and think... hang on

Sue stone wrote and interesting article about the subject showing how lyrics in songs are not the only influence on youths but also the atmosphere in which the music is listened to. One could even surmise that technology has also assisted with this as the ability to listen to music on the go has become more and more possible as the years have passed.

But the real test of how true this theory is is to look at how certain songs have affected your life. Have songs such as Kate Perry’s made you want to cross to the dark side and try something different? I believe it can happen and Sue Stone thinks so too. While these songs are not necessarily rock music they are a good example as to how music can affect people lives and ever their sexual attitudes. I firmly believe that all forms of music can have a vast affect on people attitude both mental and sexual.
