Top Ten Reasons Why Sexual Lyrics in Music are Overhated

I have no idea how it evolved that so many people seem to think sex is harmful. It is not, in fact it is natural and healthy. So why not sing/rap about it?

Not at all, sex is wonderful ( if its with the right man ) so people sing about it.

It happens every day.

The time around after woodstock is propably the era with the most acclaimed music, and a crucial part of it was sexual revolution. Then the 90s had a revival of revolution, and again, controversial lyrics became an important part of it.

Sure, all of these artists had a message or uaed it in a daring way, that's an aspect most modern artists lack, but nevertheless what they fought for is that we can openly talk about sex.

You say that as if it stopped in the 1980s but all the major pop stars I can think of from that time also had songs about sex Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson etc.

Duran Duran had a few songs about sex.

Walther von der Vogelweide, the most important German poet and bard of the middle ages, who will surely pop up in either German class or music class when you're here, wrote a song about the female pubic era. In the early 13th century. Among other works. And he played it in front of several people of a higher social status, both male and female, and gathered acclaim for it. Think about that for a second.

There is a lot of nudity in Middle Age painting.

No one, or hardly anyone, is "condemning everything that is sexual." A lot of us are simply sick and tired of - crushingly bored with - gratuitous sexualization as a cover for little talent and zero creativity, and could not care less about "disappointing hippies and punks," who've not only not enhanced civilization or music, but markedly dragged them down.

It is simply prude and something you would have done in the 50s. Hippies and punks would be disappointed of you.

Lars von Trier is consisered one of the most important contemporary European art movie makers, and almost all of his movies feature extremely explicit, often unsimulated and sometimes heavily controversial sex scenes. There are performance artists who sat down in a museum nude with spread legs. There are expensive paintings that focus on all the kinky details that people would pay up to millions of dollars to own them, because they are considered high art.

Just a suggestion, here. You are engaging in a logical fallacy known as the argument from authority, wherein a position is defended based upon the opinion of "experts." It matters little if art or an artist "is considered most important" (a phrase often used when crappy "art" is being pushed as "relevant" or "edgy" by poser intelligentsia and literati seeking to make themselves "important" by virtue of their elite and brilliant recognition of the cretin who shoves a crucifix in a jar of urine and calls it art). It matters even less that idiots would "pay up to millions of dollars to own them." Just an indication they've got a lot of money they didn't earn through hard work.

As German rapper Frauenarzt once said (someone I consider not a good rapper, but not because of his sexual lyrics but because of his lack of lyrical ability), he does not hate women. In fact, he loves them, that's why he brings them up so often. If he wouldn't love them, why would he love to have sex with them?

I just realized this is probably the biggest thing for me in whether a song about sex is good or not those that feel cheap I invariably dislike while those where it feels like it means something to the artist are usually good.

Again, if the main topic of the artists' song is sex, then maybe it is not because sex always sells, and also not because they are out of ideas, maybe it is because they actually wanted to record a song about sex.

I don't have a probelm with lryics about sex, it's just that most pop songs are really annoying about it.

We all wouldn't be here if sey didn't exist. And, except for asexuals, we are all interested in it. No matter the religion, descent, nationality, gender or sexuality.
