Explicit Music and Mature-Rated Video Games: A Comparison

Once again, I'm sorry about the lack of a blog post yesterday. This is what would have been yesterday.

When it comes to Media (Music, TV, Video Games, Movies, etc.), parents worry about explicit content the most. Today, I want to take a look at Music and Video Games. There are several reasons why these two are similar, yet very different. First, let's take a look at music:

The main reason parents don't want their children listening to explicit music is because of curse words and sexual content. They don't want their kids learning about that kind of stuff through songs. But, kids can't really learn about graphic content through songs, in my opinion. On the other hand, they can learn curse words through songs. But enough about curse words. The reason people can't learn about guns and drugs and sex through songs is because it is all graphic content, as in content that is inappropriate when looked at. You can't look at something by listening to music.

The main reason parents don't want their kids getting mature video games is because of graphic content, like mass blood, shooting, and the such. So, unlike music, kids who play mature-rated games can see the material. And usually, kids learn abut things by seeing them, not hearing them. So, in the end, M-Rated video games tend to be more explicit than explicit music.

I know this was pretty short, but I figured that I needed a break after two extremely long articles. Thanks for reading!!
