Gross lyrics are music for teens' ears
A growing number of Indian teens are tuning in to raunchy English songs where men are portrayed as "sex-driven studs" and women as "sex objects", said The Associated Press.
While parents in the West do not allow their children to listen to lyrics with sexual overtones or violent wordings that glamorise crime, Indian parents, who usually do not follow the lyrics, seem blissfully unaware of the effect it can have on their kids.
In India, most boys swear by rappers with Eminem topping their list of favourites. Here's a sampler from an Eminem song, who has been criticised for his lyrics: "People say that I'm a bad influence/I say the world's already f**, I'm just addin to it/They say I'm suicidal/Teenagers' newest idol/C'mon do as I do/Go ahead get mad and do it".
Senior psychiatrist Sanjay Chugh tells IANS: "We choose to hear a particular song usually because of the lyrics. We relate to the lyrics and the underlying meaning. It is the ability of the lyrics that makes the song popular or probably a hit!”
