Excuse me? Not everyone in my generation are whiny snowflakes. Me personally, I don't find this song offensive. It's just a stupid song. So don't go judging a whole generation just because a few of the people can't deal with real life. And it's not like YOUR generation was perfect either! :rolleyes:

And this. :heart:

Fuck em JJ You're not a generation, you're just you. I don't represent every person born in 1964. For fuck's sake, I hate most of the people my age, lol.

Watch it, pal. Oh. I'm older than you. So not your age. Never mind.

This. Thank you JJ.
 
Anybody else remember Blurred Lines from a few years back? Pretty much the same issue people were having with it, but I don't remember it ever getting banned on the radio.
 
I don't think this song should be banned. I also laughed my rear off the first time I listened to the lyrics at how creepy it sounded. I guess not everything ages as well as Betty White.
 
I’d like to remind folks that the song in question here is merely removed from a Cleveland radio stations playlist. Other stations may do so as they wish just as any of us are free to choose to listen or not listen to it being played. There are a lot of ideological things that I’ve spent more time reflecting on than a stupid song.

When it is banned, someone else is making the choice for me.

No.
 
I've always heard it as a fun, flirty, sexy song. He's trying to gently seduce her and she's enjoying it.

I'm not going to stop listening to it just because someone else hears something different. :)
 
Personally, I don't see the song as creepy, I can take it as what the generation meant it to be. That being said, definitions and perspective changes through the years, the world gay and queer are some very clear examples of this. While the song wasn't intended to be a date rape song, the meaning of the words have changed and so we must treat it as such. It is the rare occurrence when anyone uses terms like gay, queer the way the words were originally defined.

While we shouldn't ban any work or literature, music, art, or anything that brings thought, no one wants swastikas in our parks or on our Nazi chants on our radios. We understand that relegating works to a place where they can be appreciated for their intent, purpose, or whatever is not the same thing as censorship. I live in the south, in one of the most racist counties in the south and the most racist in my state. I hear every day that being PC is just not being able to handle something. It isn't being PC is being able to see that something has an affect that is greater than your own perception.

While it is easy to feel that "you" or "us" are being discriminated against when you aren't the center of attention anymore just remember the being inclusive doesn't mean that you still get the biggest seat at the table, you get the same respect that you always did, but now everyone else gets it too.

****WARNING - IF YOU ARE A "SNOWFLAKE" FROM THE Baby Boomer generation, Silent Generation, X Generation, or just can't handle a rant STOP HERE*******

You have been warned.

To those saying my generation are all "snowflakes", remember that the "snowflake" generation, the millennial generation are now reaching our mid 30's in some cases, we are YOUR managers, we are tech giants, we are soldiers, we are ditch diggers, we are republicans, we are democrats. We are the dominate generation and we are now shaping the country into something that will hopefully be better. We don't think we should work ourselves to death, we don't put near as much value on material goods, we want to see all of us (including the older generations) have access to healthcare, and education. We are interconnected through the technology in our hands, technology that you complain about but your generation pushed, marketed, and ingrained into society. Don't be sour that we are perfecting the use of the shiny new things that the older generations wanted.
While our best qualities and our worse faults are not unique to our generation, from everything I've seen, and after doing thousands of hours of research for my bachelors focusing on my own generation, I've found we complain, because we don't accept that the problems that we deal with are just "part of life" we are a transitional generation. Once we are in power fully, which will be around 2024-2026 nothing will be the same, that is if the last vestiges of the Baby Boomer and the Silent generation don't kill us all first.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm quite tired of this argument, it gets my blood boiling, and I don't even really belong to my own generation, I grew up in a time capsule, I have more in common with someone from the 70-80's than I do from the 90's. I see the problems my generation have, but I'm not blind the problems of the past. Millennials want change, and we want it to help as many as we can, we don't want to be saddled with thousands in debt because your companies won't hire us without a degree or some other arbitrary certification that we are asked to have. Subjects like this one, a simple song, are why we get called snowflakes, because we see how words and actions, even if they are taken out of the intended context can hurt and bring pain. We will continue to call things like this out, and people like you out until you either crawl back in the hold you came from or you change your view point. We are tired of the hate and division that the past generations have inflicted on our home. As a veteran, as a millennial, as a person I am ashamed that anyone, especially those of us on Lit, can't see that words have power and would continue to support something that brings very real pain to people.


We are snowflakes, we are unique, but when we all do something together we create something beautiful. We are the generation that will be the first snow on the new ground, when our generation is done, when the next takes our place. The water from our snow will bring new life to the barren soil that has been mined and cleared for profit.
 
Weird thread.

I never even considered the undertones with the song. I just thought they were cold.

You summed my my own feelings beautifully. Rant anytime you want. ;)
 
Also, the song fucking sucks. I prefer non-shitty Christmas songs.

Are there other songs that should no longer be played?

No song should be banned.
The only thing that needs to be banned is this new generation of whiny snowflakes that are easily offended :rolleyes:

A lot of hip hop songs have totally inappropriate words. It's freedom of expression. Don't like it? Don't listen. That's my take on it anyway...
 
Wow! Here's the original. Look at the phallic flowers in the beginning part! And in the second part, the woman is trying to get the guy to stay. WTH? How could this have anything to do with date rape?

Are we supposed to erase all history that makes us uncomfortable?

That's exactly what some are trying to do. Where will it end? If history doesn't include the "bad" with the "good" how will those that follow ever learn? A slippery slope indeed.
