My nearly 16 yo son has zero music on his phone or even access to money to download stuff. He uses cash only if he wants to hang out with friends. No access to a credit card, debit card or Apple Pay. Heâs quite responsible as a result.
What on earth is this response?
I donât know the artist, but it seems like she is on the âshockâ side. Like Wet A.. PâŚ. Not that big of a deal as long as your kid is even the slightest bit mature.

Most of this Cupcakke character's songs seem to be about sex. That on it's own would actually be fine; "Like A Virgin" by Madonna was my favorite song when I was DD's age, I'm no prude! But this is just over the top. I can't even the names of most of these songs, that's how bad they are. Some of the less inappropriate titles are "Squidward Nose" and "Dementia". As for the lyrics...I'm not squeamish but this stuff is just insane. Look it up if you're curious, I don't feel comfortable describing specifics. It makes me uncomfortable that she's listening to this content and maybe getting some questionable messages from it. How should I discuss it with her and possibly get her to find some new tunes to listen to?
I think you're issue with CupcakKe might be her support of the LGBTQ+ community (as shown in her song "LGBT", and others). Frankly, that's pretty homophobic. And during Pride Month!

How would that make her stop listening?
No teenager wants to listen to the same music as their parents.
Both of my teenagers like a lot of the music my DH and I listen to, and vice versa. We generally donât overreact to lyrics and such, though. Sex and drugs have long been the favorite topics of pop/rock/hip hop music. Doesnât mean theyâre doing any of that. Itâs just music.
im sure you and your teenage kids sit around and listen to sexxy red. Be serious troll.

Why wouldn't you let him listen to music? There are better ways to go about it. Children should have a debit card and be taught responsible use. Only if they abuse do you take it away and that shouldn't be permanent. Kids should have access to these so they are better prepared on how to use and how it works.
