I had heard children singing repeatedly songs with inappropriate lyrics and I came researching about this. From this website, “Hip-hop, rock and heavy metal genres have a high association with destructive themes. “. My favourite song genre is rock and heavy metal, so I understand almost all of the songs I heard from this genre contain negative messages which is harmful to childhood innocence. There are lyrics about love, sexual related, suicides, drugs, war, etc. The website mention “Destructive themes include a glamorization of drug and alcohol abuse, suicide, graphic violence and violent or inappropriate sexual messages”.
This website stated “Children as young as five are repeating sexual song lyrics and copying provocative dance moves from music by popstars such as Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, a survey of parents has found.”. Children can be influence by the music videos they watch too, and the singer in the video is wearing less cloth and doing sexy dance.

an example of star wearing less cloth and doing inappropriate moves.
“Parenting website NetMums found mums and dads are increasingly concerned that today’s pop stars are sending their children negative messages about sex.”,” that teenage girls were being “manipulated and confused” by high-profile pop stars such as former clean cut Disney star Miley Cyrus.”. Miley Cyrus is a former star of Disney (Hannah Montana) which recently changed her style way different.
Below is a video of Miley Cyrus
From this website, it has many statistic from survey of parents, “Almost one in 12 (7.8%) said that their son or daughter had sung lyrics knowing what they meant. Around 8.5% of the parents questioned said that their child was five or even younger when they first became aware of the meaning of the songs they were singing.The most common age for children to be able to understand explicit song lyrics and actions was 10.” It is really important that the stars need to think twice about their influence to the children, without sending the misleading message such as they need to show off their bodies in a sexual way in order to get noticed.
