Should a rating system be required for song lyrics?

Our population has been overloaded with a diversity of genres in the music business. Lyrics have been taken to another level without taking into consideration the audience that listens. What are important to radio stations are the ratings they get from their audience. There is music for all ages and for all occasions. This is why music and it’s so called genres should be rated and classified.

Unfortunately, there has been no control over the music that is being presented to the public. Stations have forgotten that our children and teenagers are the most common listeners. Kids have the ability to interpret what they listen to and to act upon the emotions that they feel when it is being heard. We know that music moves emotions and feelings, psychologically, this has been proven.

If their where to be a rating in song lyrics, then the music would be presented under classifications and brought to the audience by times. For example, children’s songs, could be played during the day, this is when teachers or parents can play it for them. Other than underground music or rap that contains bad words or discouraging acts would be brought out to the public in hours that children and teenagers are resting and have parental control.

Every music genre has its age group and it should be presented as so to the public. Maybe if there were more control over what we listen too, there would be less unfortunate incidents in our society. For example, teenage pregnancy, juvenile detention, homicides in young adults, and so much more. We should rate how our music should be played based upon the way we commonly live. Everything has its place and time.
