Some song lyrics today contain inappropriate language. Should these be censored?

Carolina Silva, 10.º B | 22-11-2024

In my opinion, song lyrics shouldn’t be censored. Music is a form of expression and transmits what you’re feeling.

For much controversial that some lyrics can be, I think censorship isn’t the best way to deal with the situation.

In the first place, I think that you can’t censor what someone wants to express for some inappropriate words. If we do that, we will need censorship for TV programmes, books, films, commercials, and a lot more things that contain that type of vocabulary.

Secondly, it can be subjective and can lead to unreasonable discussions that make no sense.

In the third place, that will be unfair to the people who are old enough to hear and use that type of language.

In conclusion, I reinforce the importance of expressing our feelings or opinions without being censored.
