Pop 'descending into pornography' says songwriter who launched Kylie Minogue's music career
Daily Mail ^ | 3:23 AM on 17th June 2011 | Daily Mail Reporter

Pop music is on 'a slow but unmistakable descent into pornography', according to hit songwriter Mike Stock.

Stock, who was responsible for dozens of hits as part of Stock, Aitken and Waterman and helped launch Kylie Minogue's pop career, put some of the blame on the rise of stars including Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

He said they were among a wave of performers who 'have taken sexualised imagery, dance moves and lyrical content way beyond the limits of decency'.

He's definately right about that; another issue is that pop stars are dressing hideously indecently in public off stage too.

That’s not too surprising for someone associated with Kylie Minogue. She’s tame by pop standards, something I suspect is why Hollywood never allowed her to make it big in the US.

Madonna descended decades ago. Today, it’s unfortunately the age that’s descending.

Prediction: In five more years, pop singers won’t even bother singing, they’ll just get up on a stage and f****.

Is this the guy responsible for Rick Astley? If so, no punishment is too good for him.

Yeah, this reporter is right on top of things. /s

I wonder if they’ve ever heard of the idiot that decided she wanted to use the name Madona.

They won't even be able to lip-sync, as those will be occupied on other pursuits.

We descended there a long time ago. It was about 1985 when Tipper Gore heard an obscene song on one of her daughter’s Prince albums.

And even before then, there were concerns that records played backwards conveyed subliminal messages that promoted Satanism, drugs and suicide. While I don’t believe in subliminal messages, many rock groups did promote anti-social ideas.

Parents’ groups lobbied for warning labels on music, and now many artists release clean and explicit versions of their albums.

It’s a financially logically place for them to go. Nothing we can do about it. I counter it by listening to Black Sabbath and Merle Haggard, The Beatles etc.

It is what happened on stage in the Weimar Republic in 1919....very vulgar, sexualized, homoerotic entertainment....it treats people as a ‘means to an end’.... people just are a commodity with no dignity and worth...Easy to kill people when they have no dignity and worth and use them.

Destroying any meaning or worth in the sex act, destroys the uniting factor between men and women which will destroy marriage.....of course, Marx hated the natural family because of the loyalty it took away from the state and from others in the collective....they want all relationships to be equally as important. Marx destroys all meaning to life and relationships. He hated God and God’s design of man and woman. His utopia is ugly and inhumane and one of serfs who live in fear.

We were warned of his sick twisted world in Brave New World. Everyone should have to read that book and see what this reducing human intimate activities to a commodity to be bought and sold does to destroy the natural family....but that is their point.

Lady Gaga sexy? My cat is sexier than she is. In fact, my dead cat is sexier that Lady Gagme.

Katy Perry is sexy. And she can sing when she wants to. Rihanna is also sexy but looks too slutty sometimes. Beyonce is sensous. Singing is so-so.

I miss the older singers who could sing and had classy looks, not slutty looks. Mary Wells, Connie Stevens (Okay, she only sang one or two songs but she was pretty), Linda Scott (my secret love), Brenda Lee, members of the Supremes, Crystals, Ronettes, etc.

I’m an oldie but goodie, but I also have good taste in music and women.

The nature of art now is about shock value which is the easiest boundary to push. You don’t even have to be an artist to be shocking which explains the appalling lack of talent in today’s media culture. For example, how often do you see vulgarity passing for humor? Too many time with people like Bill Maher. However, true talent seeks out a challenge and confronts the harder things to convey. What is an example of a hard thing? Beauty is hard. Sex is easy but beauty is hard. But with liberal culture people have to be flattered, have to take the easy way out, have to be shocked again and again to remember they’re still alive and better off than that midget running around with a bone through his nose, have to envy the stars while thinking they are just like us regular folk... and so it goes.

You can tell yourself that the mainstreaming of porn is “not anything new.”

Where will they go next after they “progress” all the way into the gutter of heterosexual/homosexual porn? I am betting they go sadistic and start simulating the sexy beating and raping of women and children on stage. The Muzzies are going to love it! Maybe bestiality wil arrive.
