Censorship In Music : Should acts like Eminem and Marilyn Manson be Censored? Reviews

We all love music and a good show. A concert maybe, an extravaganza. Mnay musicians push the boundaries, though, beyond the realms of good taste. Is this acceptable? I think not. Many advocate freedom of expression, whatever the expression. How can that be right? That means, whatever I choose to say, I have a right to say it, even if ...

I think that when people become all self-righteous and immediately jump to defend the rights of these artists in question, to say and sing about whatever they feel, disregarding the consequences they fail to recognise the rights of the audience that this music is projected towards. Censorship exists and rightfully so. If there was an ...

The are hundreds of different bands around, all with a style, and different styles suit different people. I think music by Eminem is quite simply rubbish. But if he wants to swear he should be able to swear on his albums if he wants. If you were to just ban all music by anyone who isn't polite in their music it would be a very boring. Bands ...

Censorship is a politicians way of not having to face certain realities ! It leads to ignorance ! - Advantages: Censorship is fine 4 the week of mind, and the young, and the religious - Disadvantages: what is this a dictatorship ?, Who the hell has the right to tell me what i can and can't listen to ?

Being a fan of most rock/metal and punk, I have frequently had some of my small-minded friends inform me that half the music I listen to 'should be banned'. The reasons, they say, is because they feel that the music is not suitiable for young children, wither because of the language, the 'intensity' (ie.metal) or because of the ...

I like Marilyn Manson. Theres a shocker. My wardrobe is not predominately black, I do not wear pure white makeup and 'goth' (or should I say Mansonite) apparel, because I think its just a daft fashion craze. I am also not a Satanist, I dont take the things he says to heart, I am NOT STUPID. And I'll bet none of his fans are ...

Everyone lives in fear of Eminem and Marilyn Manson, but to be honest they are not that bad. I began this year detesting Marilyn Manson and disdainful of Eminem. I am now very pro. I will try to explain why. The disadvantages include language, behaviour and bad role models. That is at least what people say. I have to say that although I ...

Even TV adverts exploit sexualism and the occult. Shall we lock our kids up in a box? - Advantages: Allows children to keep some of their innocence - Disadvantages: Harms the notion of civil liberties, Childern will rebel, Are we not reaping what we sowed in the 1960's?

Musical acts such as Eminem, Marilyn Manson and Slipknot have recently come under fire from a lot of people for being to graphic and promoting evil and promoting what is morally wrong. But is this at all true? and if so, is censoring said bands really the answer? Well i don't think that it is. What would censoring these acts achieve? would it ...

Why does marylin manson get blamed for all of society's ills? I don't really want to dwell on how his music and the music of many other "shock" artists are blamed for the Columbine shootings etc, as these ideas have been voiced many times before and it would be adding nothing new to the arguements. It's true ...

Censorship isn't some sinister Orwellian committee deciding what we can or can't see and hear. In reality, Eminem already is censored. You only have to watch one of his videos on MTV or hear a record on the radio to realise this, as all the swear words are faded out thus altering his original creation. Magazines censor reality by ...

America is notorious for producing some of the most offensive acts and recordings the music industry has ever birthed. Ice-T - several years ago, the recording containing highly-controversial "Cop Killer" was banned and, subsequently, removed from store shelves country-wide. 2 Live Crew - "As Nasty As They Wanna ...

Humm music censorship, now deemed to be so important it is part of my module of Pornography and Censorship at Uni. So where do I start? A little about me, I sit here look at my music rack behind me, ah yes, Ministry, Marilyn Manson, NIN, Rage Against the Machine, Cradle of Filth, Slayer, and theres even WASP there but thats not mine, tis ...

Imagine going into a record store looking for your favourite band's new album, and as you walk down the aisles to the heavy metal stand you find that it is gone! Shock! Horror! You look around the store in a daze, searching for your bands in the pop and indie section thinking that they might have been put back in with the ...

Ah, Marilyn Manson, don't you hate him, Slipknot don't you hate them, Eminem don't you hate him as well. OR:Do you love to hate them all for the sake of our children? Firstly i'd like to say I am not a fan of the lovely Marilyn, although i quite like Eminem. I am 20 years of age and see no problem about what he ...

Censorship. Why do we have it? Why do we need it? People complain about music, and acts like Limp Bizkit, Eminem and Marilyn for the wrong reasons. I don't really like any of those, but I respect what they are doing. "I may not agree with your saying, but I'll fight to my death for your right to say it" - some french ...

OK, before we get into this debate I am bound to be a little biased being a fan of both Eminem and Marilyn Manson both as performers and lyricists. I am also an old punk, so baasically I've seen and heard arguments like this time and time again in the music industry. In fact, if we go back through the decades, there were those who ...

I'm a major follower of music, of all types as well, so it probably won't suprise you that some of the music I listen to contains some words or opinions you might not want your young kids hearing. But i feel i'm sensible (and old) enough to listen to these songs without being influenced in any bad ways, or being made into a ...

You take me higher and higher, temptation, you take me higher and higher, temptation, you can take it or leave it, temptation, but you better belive it, temptation. You take me higher and higher, temptation, you take me higher and higher, temptation, you can take it or leave it, temptation, but you better belive it, temptation. You take me higher ...

Eminem, Manson, Slipknot...the list goes on. Concerned parent and moral guardians screaming and stamping their feet until the government does something about it. I'm speaking of America here, where the explicit lyrics sticker became compulsory due to some upset mummies. I am of the opinion that all these so-called ...
