Call Me Old Fashioned but.....
Discussion
I have a fourteen year old daughter who is mad about all kinds of music, especially current pop music. I try to keep up with current trends myself, I spent 20 years working in the music industry from DJing, to record company work, A & R and distribution mostly in black music (house, hip hop etc). Now call me a prude but...Jesus, the audience for nikki minaj's latest offering is approximately the age of my daughter and to think that her and her piers are watching and listening to this makes me shudder. OH, AND ITS COMPLETELY st.

I'm with you. I've worked on a few different tours and its obviously a mixed bag, some, (imo) have been very, very good and others, well they're just meh!
I did Beyonce and Miley Cyrus last year, of which my grown up daughter was chuffed about and wanted me to get some video footage of the shows for her.
I did, but 5 minutes in on both and i'd had enough. Think i'm just an old fart.
I seem to enjoy a load of old farts doing Glastonbury and Hyde Park alot more than some of the more recent modern stuff i've done.

Had something else playing so I watched it with no sound. I liked it, sexy, dark, good imagery, a bit too much to look at for a fourteen year old I agree but then I'm passed it so maybe I don't understand.
Then I played it with the sound on. Please just fk off you ridiculous immature fking morons. Boss s and top bhes and I'm the greatest thing you've ever seen and pig fking ignorant is cool and bored fking bored. Grown ups acting like fking 10 year olds and rehashing the same dire fking ste we've been hearing for 25 fking years. Thick, divvy s.
So you know, bit of a mixed bag for me.

It's not aimed at you. It's also not aimed at your daughter... if you turn safe search on for her google/youtube account then she won't find it in her search results and youtube won't let her watch it. If she find ways around that there's loads of DNS based systems you can employ. The tools are provided for you to take responsibility for your daughter yourself... you just have to do it.WARNING, CONTAINS FRUITY LANGUAGE AND DODGY PICTURES.

Yeah, it's terrible. Pop really is a bit st right now, but the flip side of that is that everything that isn't pop is going great guns and has never been easier to find. WARNING, CONTAINS FRUITY LANGUAGE AND DODGY PICTURES.

Of course it is, who do you think it's aimed at then....20 year old lads?As for parental control, I don't need to control my daughter, who happens to live in Brisbane by the way, she knows a ste track when she hears it. She's grown up with me teaching her what proper Black music sounds like!

This is the best version I've found so far - play really loud, especially if you're in the office.

Current music is so st, I'm just waiting for the next big thing to blow them all away. We need a new Nirvana.
Absolutely. Yes, lots of us are old farts now, but whilst I have forever described my musical tastes as "eclectic", I really can't listen to most of the recent stuff. I listened to R1 until I was nearly 50 but these days I can't take 2 minutes of if, makes my teeth itch. Time for a punk resurgence! there's load of good new music around - it's just not in the mainstream.
Radio 1 is just RnB with the occaisional Ed Sheeran song. Radio 2 is ok at times. Absolute plays some good stuff but still has a fairly narrow playlist. XFM is pretty good. And there's loads of great music on the web, but if you don't what you're looking for it can be hard to find.
