Infants/toddlers and loud hiphop music

0% Normal
21 Comments

Do you think it's okay to play loud trippy music around them? My neighbors are young adults. As soon as they hop in the car they start playing (c)rap. When they're home outside they open all the car doors and blast the music with their toddler kid there. I think it's irresponsible and wrong? Their minds are impressionable. That music will turn them into one of the many young thugs that grew up around that crap.

    People who blast loud hip hop music so other drivers can hear them should get the death penalty.

        What about blasting old school rock and roll?

        Cause I'm pretty sure when I'm a dad, I'll crank up Zeppelin, Dio, Megadeth, Tom Petty, Beatles, Rainbow, Ozzy and the rest of em during the school run XD

        I mean my parents did it and I mostly turned out ok XD

          Just do not show the kids a photo of Dave Mustaine. That will terrify them. My son is 22 and I STILL would not subject him to such a horrific sight.

          But about Ozzy - make sure they know the song "Over the mountain". Pure hard rock.

          I really liked Led Zeppelin when I was a little kid.

    Loud trippy music doesn't turn kids into thugs. There's some questionable evidence that violent lyrics can do, but not just dance music.

    I'd be more bothered about the fact they're being obnoxious. Who needs to play music that loud outside? Especially when there's little kids playing. That's just rude.

    Very young children don't understand the lyrics, so that's probably not a real issue, but regularly blasting a child with very loud music of any sort can cause permanent and irreparable damage to their inner ear. Parents who do that are irresponsible and stupid, and growing up with fucked-up parents is almost guaranteed to result in the kid being fucked-up in some way, so the kid may well grow up to be a thug, albeit a deaf one.

    People should play Mozart at moderate level for little kids!

      The Mozart makes babies smart thing was debunked.

      Volume should always be a top factor, as it can damage a child's ears.

      Obviously, content should be kept appropriate.

      Style of music is irrelevant. Babies and children should be exposed to a range of music styles.

        Well, they should be exposed to good music, and Mozart is good music regardless.

          Yes, but it's they should be exposed to a range of things in just about every experience there is.

          FYI, studies showed a bigger sort term intelligence boost for kids listening to music such as Blur, than those listening to Mozart.

          Neither makes them smarter or better, cognitively, that the other. The baby Mozart thing is pure marketing.

            Well, Blur also fits into the category of good music of course.

      Increase there brain activity. Instrumental music is very good for a developing brain because their mushy brains have to figure out the emotional context of the song.

    I hate that and had to grow up with that but I didn't turn into a thug but I agree it's wrong to blast music like that around a toddler/infant.

    Volume is an issue with everyone, not just kids, but having said that my daughter had severe colic as a baby and the only thing I found that calmed her was dancing round the room holding her on my shoulder to the strains of loud rock music. For several years afterwards she had a ghetto blaster by her bed and her lullabies were played by the Stones, the Who, etc.
    She has grown up with excellent taste in music and I take all the credit as it was my idea in the first place! Her mother, my ex wife, said it wouldn't work but I said it would because the womb is a noisy place with loud rhythmic thudding and swooshing noises from the heart. May I now have my seriously overdue gold star for being top of the class?!

    Some music has to be cranked up! Gotta teach em young! But rap is super inappropriate, even the radio versions. I will say there's a few rap songs I'll turn up. Kids love music but blowing their forming eardrums is fucked up.

    I would be more concerned about volume and not lyrical content with a child so young.
