Void’s philosophical quandaries... (Part 1)

Is a song ( or songs) good if it itself is good (you like the beat, flow, style, pace and so forth), however the meaning or message is bad? are [b]your[/b] morals questioned by listening to such a song? Would [b]you[/b] share the song if it is enjoyable however morally wrong? Would [b]you[/b] want to meet the artist(s)? Answer these questions to the fullest and the void’s vaults shall be opened for your choosing of its bounty... [spoiler]perhaps you could join the void...[/spoiler]

  • [quote]Is a song ( or songs) good if it itself is good (you like the beat, flow, style, pace and so forth), however the meaning or message is bad?[/quote] Depends on the message. For instance, I like Green Day, but don't agree with their politics which their music is very centered around, but I still enjoy it. If the message is bad, like disagreeing with my religion or basic morals, I'll either listen to an instrumental version if the instruments are that good, or just not listen at all. For example, on Periphery IV, I won't listen to CHVRCH BVRNER because I don't think that the message is good. But if I need clarification, I'll look up the meaning of the song. For example, Flag of the Beast by Emmure sounds very satanic when you listen to it, but the writer didn't intend it that way, he was talking about himself. [quote]are [b]your[/b] morals questioned by listening to such a song?[/quote] No. I know what's wrong and what's right, so a song isn't going to change me. I'll consider the message and think about, it but it takes more than a song to sway my morals [quote]Would [b]you[/b] share the song if it is enjoyable however morally wrong?[/quote] Probably not, mostly just because I'd probably forget about it, but if I did remember it and if I knew the person would really like that music, I'd send it. Ultimately, it's not my place to judge what others should be listening to or not. I'm not the moral bastion, so if they enjoy the piece regardless of the message, that's their thing. [quote]Would [b]you[/b] want to meet the artist(s)?[/quote] I want to meet artists I enjoy, but not the ones who create songs I disagree with. We would have no common ground, I can't really tell them how much I liked their music because I didn't, so it'd just be kinda awkward.
