WTF of the week: pop music.

If you know me, you know that I love music. I also have a wide range styles of music that I like, from Hollywood Undead to Lady Gaga to Hank Williams.

My issue as of late is the total and complete amount of insanity that has taken over the top 40 music. This all started with "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. Its super catchy and I just love it! My issue with the song? It is clearly about a kid killing other kids. The hell? Is that something we should be singing out loud as we drive to class or work? The second song that prove my point is "We Are Young" by Fun. I mean come its clearly talking about how he beat his lover. That is not cool. To top it off, they sang it on Glee. Don't think that I am a music Nazi. I'm not. I just have issues with songs that make mass-murder and spousal abuse an OK thing. What next? A song condoning animal abuse or rape? All set to a slow beat with a catchy hook? I really hope not.
