I’m so fucking tired of clicking on a song and finding out it’s the fucking censored version halfway through. It genuinely pisses me off, even if the censors are well done, it still fucks up the flow of the music. Songs should never be censored regardless of the amount of swears and innuendos; they’re a form of expression by artists and creators. Oh, what about the kids? Yeah fuck right off. Parent your children better. They’re eventually going to learn what curses are anyways.
Your problem isn’t censorship, your problem is relaying on services to listen to music. Be it Spotify or the Radio, you’re listening to public music; you have to share. And preferences of others are going to override yours, be it business decisions, or just people who’d rather hear the censored version.
You’re trying to ride the bus, and mad because it doesn’t pick you up and drop you off at your front door.
I remember listening to BBC radio 1 when they accidentally played the uncensored version of Closer of the Sunday afternoon chart countdown.
Completely agree with you.
Also be surprised if this is an unpopular opinion.
Unpopular, my ass lol
I doubt it is unpopular in Lemmy’s demographic, but I think it probably is quite unpopular within the general population
I’ll give you that—you could be right.
In the backward and religious USSA probably.
I should mention that cunt Tipper Gore and her crusade.
No other country caresIt’d definitely be unpopular in Lemmy’s demographic, which is quite pro-censorship and “circle jerk”-esque. There are hundreds if not thousands of moderator actions every day on here censoring and banning people for saying words that mods and users didn’t like, none of which can cause any actual harm.
I know right, everyone is all what about the kids? But as our very president and his pals said and did over and over, fuck the kids.
Agree. If you want your music to be “kid friendly”, then don’t swear in said songs. Easy.
The censored version of “Last Resort” is my thirteenth reason. The whole song is about being lost, angry and in pain, how else are people meant to express it?! 😑
Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams was recently censored. The song seems to be about Americana and teen romance, but at the end he says “me and my baby in a 69” but people still didn’t get what it was about. Then he told people to check his birth year. All of a sudden that line had to be changed.
And yet The Who still get to say “who the fuck are you?” in Who Are You…
This has to be a streaming service issue? I don’t purchase censored music and therefore don’t have this issue .
Do streaming services seriously put everyone in the children’s tier? That and live versions would have me cancelling so fast.
There has to be an Adult option, right?I know some songs on Spotify have the explicit symbol and are also censored lol. Its brutal.
Wholeheartedly agree. Tried of hypocrites and psuedo saints forcing their sensitivity on art. I want to hear Eminem say weird ass shit. I want Limp Bizkit music to say fuck. Same thing for Lola Young. These lame ass nancy’s don’t like it? They should be the ones to listen to something else. The original song/music was written as is to express something. It needs to be delivered RAW in its purist form. Not to be watered down to appease people who can’t figure out how to navigate the social situation of just not listening to it.
To confirm, if we don’t want our kids to hear cursing, we should avoid the song.
But if you don’t want to hear the censored version, you cannot avoid it?
Hot take, the radio edit of CeeLo Green’s “Fuck You” actually flows better.
