That's what kills me -- I absolutely do the same thing! That's why I noted that I don't dislike her
music, I just hate the lyrics and message. But her music (and Ke$ha's) is very dance-alongable (new word!). And although the PP who said perhaps if kids are acting out the lyrics, then parents should step in ... the whole problem with this is that it's about normalizing a lifestyle. It doesn't suddenly just pop out at you that, "hey, my kid is sleeping around, drinking until he/she blacks out, etc. Maybe I should say something to him/her." It's that people really do just sing along in a trance, begin to talk about/think about the behavior as normal and -- if not OK, at least not totally objectionable, and that slowly can lead to behavior changes or at least seeing occasional "lapses" (like blacking out one night from drinking so much and not remembering what happened) as something that happens to "everyone" at some point.
And yes, I feel like a total fuddy-duddy for even bringing it up. For me, more than anything, it's about the huge increase in binge drinking by underage and just-barely-of-age people. Too much alcoholism among my family and friends, too many people I know killed by drunk drivers, too many drunk drivers I know who have walked away from an accident that killed someone else -- and then the sense of shame I feel for wishing the drunk driver -- even when it's someone I know and love -- would just once be the person who was hurt in the accident, rather than an innocent bystander. The fact that more and more young people are drinking solely to get drunk -- as if that's a fun state to be in -- because they can have more "fun" (even if they don't remember it, surely they had "fun," right?) is horrifying to me because they really don't think of the consequences.
Whoa, I really got on a soapbox there, didn't I?
