What constitutes "mature content" in a song?

PrincessTast...	Date: March 1, 2006 @ 11:43 PM The one I was about to upload says MF once. Does that count?
TameasDust	Date: March 1, 2006 @ 11:45 PM well mature content would be anything you dont want your kids to hear ... I would think ... I could be wrong though
PrincessTast...	Date: March 1, 2006 @ 11:47 PM I guess so.
GeneHilbert	Date: March 2, 2006 @ 1:38 AM MF isn't bad - but now had you said Mother-Fucker. Now would be a bad thing.......
zedsalt	Date: March 2, 2006 @ 10:15 AM Warning labels are effective, free promo tools. I'd work more profanity into my lyrics, if I thought I could do so without it coming across as contrived. But y'know, that's the problem with contriving things...
TameasDust	Date: March 2, 2006 @ 1:55 PM wonder if they should change "mature content" to "Anyone under the age of 21 will want to buy this"
K3VIN	Date: March 2, 2006 @ 2:05 PM mature content attracts the kids more..
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 2, 2006 @ 2:51 PM old cheese. thats mature
SimonWaldram	Date: March 3, 2006 @ 4:03 PM I like how when you're a kid you get told that "there's nothing big or clever about swearing", yet it qualifies as 'mature' content. How the hell does that work?!
idealist	Date: March 3, 2006 @ 4:03 PM good point
K3VIN	Date: March 3, 2006 @ 4:23 PM i jsut got told adults can swear cause they are adult lmao
WhoopTdo	Date: March 4, 2006 @ 1:34 PM wonder if it should be teen content ... not allowed for adults
AbortiveMind	Date: March 4, 2006 @ 4:46 PM hmz good point you've got here Simon Hehehe, teen content ... maybe there should be admin content too
GeneHilbert	Date: March 4, 2006 @ 5:07 PM Who the hell is an adult.....?
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 4, 2006 @ 7:29 PM not you
K3VIN	Date: March 4, 2006 @ 7:33 PM Who The Hell is an adult? i was wondering the same question, last time i talked to Who the Hell, he was like 12... maybe he was born on a leap year
MisterQ	Date: March 16, 2006 @ 9:43 PM someone said "people who swear aren't intelligent enough to think of anything else to say" then there are a lot of stupid people out there. so i must be one of those fuckin hannicap people who ride around in a wheel chair pissin in a fuckin bag on the back of it and have a diaper around my ass. if that's true.
GeneHilbert	Date: March 16, 2006 @ 10:48 PM I hadn't visited this thread in a week or so and it does appear old K3vinshitforbrains took a swipe at the kid....... I would have thought amphibian’s instinct for self preservation inhibited them from antagonizing higher life forms. However it does appear at least on the surface that not all things obvious should be taken for granted. One can only hope a sense of humor is equated in the natural world to Darwin’s survival of the fittest.
LeNoraJaye	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 12:21 AM I think the previous post should be labeled "Mature Content" (going to tell my mom now about the shit i saw on dmusic!)
imemine	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 12:41 AM “I love Words” I do too! Well George Carlin would say this: Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker and Tits. But times have changed a bit! Now I thinks it’s about “killin’ cops n shit”- a few of those words still hit but most of the you can find on your average primetime programs now. Hard to raise a kid these days without Little House on The Prairie on TV! :d The Carlin Skit! Damn that was funny in it’s day! "I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say, they're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have really. We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we're stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It's a matter of how you pick them. There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? 'That's a bad word.' 'Awwww.' There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions. And words, you know the seven don't you? Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war. Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, wow. Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list. Actually, none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I am not completely insensitive to people's feelings. You know, I can dig why some of those words got on the list...like cocksucker and motherfucker. Those are...those are heavy-weight words. There's a lot going on there, man. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. They're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend with. And those K's. Those are aggressive sounds, they jump out at you. CocksuckerMotherfuckerCocksucker. It's like an assault, on you. So I can dig that. And we mentioned shit earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go together of course. But forget about that. A little accidental humor there. Piss and Cunt. The reason Piss and Cunt are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said 'Those are the two I am not going to say. I don't mind Fuck and Shit, but P and C are out. P and C are out.' Which led to such stupid sentences as 'OK, you fuckers, I am going to tinkle now.' And of course the word Fuck. The word Fuck, I don't really...well, this is some more accidental humor, but I don't really want to get into that now. Because I think it takes too long. But I do mean that. I mean, I think the word fuck is an important word. It's the beginning of life, and, yet it's a word we use to hurt one other, quite often. And uh, people much wiser than I have said, I'd rather have my son watch a film with two people making love than two people trying to kill one other. And I of course agree. I wish I know who said it first, and I agree with that. But I would like to take it a step further. I would like to substitute the word fuck, for the word kill in all those movie cliches we grew up with. 'Okay Sheriff, we're gonna fuck ya now. But we're gonna fuck ya slow.' So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' rap on that word. I hope so. Uh, there are two-way words, but those are the seven you can never say on television. Under any circumstances you just can not say them ever, ever ever, not even clinically. You can not weave them in the panel with Doc and Ed and Johnny, I mean it's just impossible, forget those seven, they're out. But, there are some two-way words. There are double-meaning words. Remember the ones your giggled at in sixth grade? 'And the cock crowed three times.''Hey, the cock the cock crowed three times. It's in the bible.' There are some Two-way words, like it's okay for Curt Gowdy to say 'Roberto Clemente has two balls on him.' But he can't say, 'I think he hurt his balls on that play Tony, don't you? He's holding them. He must have hurt them by God.' And the other two-way word that goes with that one is prick. It's okay if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't finger your prick. No, no." Gawd bless! You cork soakers!

zedsalt	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 10:13 AM Maybe I should compose a special warning label for my stuff, something along the lines of: This material contains mature...even downright artsy...content. It also contains immature and/or inane content. If you have a strong aversion to hearing both in the same song, you should probably just ignore these songs and have a nice day.
