Email sent to 3 Dads Walking, three fathers who have lost daughter's to suicide.
Hello,
I hope that my email does not upset any of you.
My belief is that modern music is the main cause of youth suicide. There are many bands and DJs that use the word 'suicide' in their name, song title, lyrics, etc. Listened to or seen multiple times a day will cement it into the mindset. Most modern music is now very depressing or violent, so even if it doesn't mention suicide, it's certainly not something that could perk anyone up. Instead, I believe it's designed to depress people.
There are countless other examples, many of which are very sinister.
In addition, there are films and video games that include suicide, 'Suicide Squad' being an example.
Most young people listen to music whenever possible. There is a saying that music is the ultimate Trojan Horse. It's presented as fun or appealing or soothing, so young people listen to it a lot. While listening to it, they are opening themselves up to conditioning. As the music is depressing and sometimes overtly suicidal, it's no wonder we now have a suicide epidemic.
The question then is, why aren't the authorities doing anything to police the music, social media, video game and film industries more so that young people are not inadvertently subjected to this sinister attack? Could it be that the powers-that-be are ok with a bit of population reduction? With the advent of AI meaning less people are needed, could it be possible that the government and the entertainment industry work together to control the population?
To solve a problem, you need to know the root cause of it. Know thy enemy.
The Government needs to introduce statutory age ratings and warnings for music videos to alert otherwise unsuspecting parents and viewers. Music videos should be studied in slow motion, sounds analysed and lyrics read for their true nature to be assessed and rated accurately.
Music videos are not regulated as films and video games are despite often being very sexual or violent and being totally unsuitable for children. Often, parents allow children to see music videos, not realising their nature, assuming that as it’s ‘just music’ it must be ok. Music video producers can create content that is sexual or violent without needing to display an age rating. We believe this puts the nation’s children at an unacceptable risk of being exposed to unsuitable content.
This isn't a new problem: read the report made by in 2010 that warned 'deaf' parliament that children were being sexualised. The report, by psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos, commissioned by the government, went ignored. Here is one recommendation:
• broadcasters are required to ensure that music videos featuring sexual posing or sexually suggestive lyrics are broadcast only after the ‘watershed’;
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said: “We know that parents are concerned about the pressures their children are under at a much younger age, which is why we have already committed to a number of the recommendations in this report."
What happened Alan??? How come music videos can still be shown before the watershed no matter what their content?? No matter what you do with everything else, if you leave a loophole then the perverts can still get through!
Perhaps parliament does, in fact, have good hearing but chooses to look away. Why? Lazy, foolish, under duress or complicit? Report HERE of which, the conclusion is below...
Also in 2011 was, 'Letting Children
be Children
Report of an Independent Review of the
Commercialisation and Sexualisation
of Childhood' by Reg Bailey. Read it HERE.
Former GB News’ Alex Phillips said, in the wake of the Sam Smith music video scandal, "You have had to edit a lot of that video down to be able to show it on television. The point is that teenagers and young people are the audience who are watching these things and it doesn't come with a block. They are fully available on YouTube and TikTok. We live an age now where porn is becoming so normalised. It is in music videos, it is in fast fashion that is being marketed to teens and we also live in an age where we know that people are getting sexually assaulted at school. You are having to have websites where people are saying ‘I am going through these terrible experiences’. You have got filth going on in WhatsApp groups among police officers. I don't think it is a coincidence that the reporting of things like sexual assaults and sexual attacks, relationships falling apart, the swipe left and swipe right generation. It is bad, it is unhealthy, it is not good for society and this is a symptom of it.”
21 JUNE 2016 Make stricter laws for music videos and music: Recently, over the last 10 years music & especially music videos have become too vulgar for tv. Songs contain way too much about sex, drugs, hustling, etc. Kids are subjected to these songs when they are listened too by the parent and when they get older too.
10 NOV 2013 A new law to completely ban all music videos that are unfit for day-time viewing.
This lovely young man Owen Mac, made this video a few months into lockdown: he kept going when so many of us collapsed. I've been following his progress since I saw him in a video as a young child, singing with two other boys. I singled him out as the star and, sure enough, he seems to be making a name for himself! I do, however, hope he doesn't aim for the stars and sign up to a well-known record label, which would be the death knell for him and his sweet music. He has pitiful viewcounts, which is often the way nowadays: the best get the least and the worst get the most. Please subscribe to his channel, watch his heartmelting videos and share to your friends. You can buy his albums here at Ebay.
It's a dream come true to know that young people are enjoying our old folk songs, namely sea shanties.
I have hoped for a folk revival for several years, even creating this playlist to try to keep our wonderful cultural heritage alive as so many try to bury it:
I received a comment on Youtube from a young lad who said he cried when he heard the track below. The sound of the human voice awakens genetic memories, reminding us of where we're from (prior to the 24/7 centralised entertainment era) and who we really are, like a wake-up call.
A folk revival is exactly what the elites would hate: they don't want us to feel connected to our past because then we might want to revive it. To fight the elites, do exactly what they don't want you to do and show them a big twos-up
'teens who reported greater exposure to prosocial media — video games, movies, or TV shows that portray helpful, caring, and cooperative behaviors — also showed higher levels of prosocial behaviour.'
'students who played violent games became less likely to show empathy and behave in helpful ways, whereas those who played prosocial games became more empathetic and helpful.'
Impact of Music, Music Lyrics, and Music Videos on Children and Youth
'Research has reported that exposure to violence, sexual messages, sexual stereotypes, and use of substances of abuse in music videos might produce significant changes in behaviors and attitudes of young viewers. Frequent watching of music videos has been related to an increased risk of developing beliefs in false stereotypes and an increased perceived importance of appearance and weight in adolescent girls. In studies performed to assess the reactions of young males exposed to violent rap music videos or sexist videos, participants reported an increased probability that they would engage in violence, a greater acceptance of the use of violence, and a greater acceptance of the use of violence against women than did participants who were not exposed to these videos.'
'listening to music and watching television and music videos more frequently was associated with increased risky behaviors.'
'Performers should serve as positive role models for children and teenagers.'
'The Truth About Popular Culture' by Paul Joseph Watson has got to be one of the best videos I have ever seen as it encompasses many ideas that I have thought of but have never heard said by anyone else before.
One point is the fact that our increasingly degenerate 'culture' is enraging Muslim extremists and increasing the threat against us. Iran was once a liberal country with women permitted to shun the headscarf, expose their legs and talk freely to men without fear of persecution or sexual assault. As Western society degenerated from the sixties on, the country suddenly took a hardline turn. Clearly, they were appalled by what they saw and no longer wished to emulate us. Had it not been for our degeneracy, perhaps the Muslim world would not be as fundamentalist as it is today and we would all be getting on a lot better.
Whoever it is who controls popular culture clearly isn't trying to make the world a better or more harmonious place but one of diametrically opposed camps.
Being the change I wish to see in the world, I have nothing to do with popular culture and it certainly doesn't hurt me to be without it.
'Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.' Plato.
I talked to my daughter about this very subject last night during dinner. She once again told me that fellow pupils sometimes had the chance to select a piece of music from the internet for everyone in the class to listen to. Sadly, the music chosen was always pop music.
As we have no television or radio at home, there is no risk of ever hearing the noise they now call music: dreary, monotonous crap that should really come with a health warning. We only ever hear modern pop music when in shops or cafes, or when I occasionally put it on Youtube to offer my daughter the chance to choose between 'It' and something a little more musical. The latter always wins.

WARNING! Not suitable for children OR adults!
The 'song' above is nothing unusual in today's world and this is what young children will listen to if they have unsupervised access to the internet. This is what we allow into our minds if we turn on the radio. What you see in the video is a reflection of what the music will do to your psyche (or soul some people prefer to say). This sound, as it's not music (it has to be musical to be classed as music), will have a negative effect on anyone listening to it, especially children. Sadly, so few parents feel the need to restrict what their children listen to and mock parents like me who know the danger in material like this. I, personally, am unable to watch this video in full as it affects me so much. That is not because I am re-sensitised due to removing myself from the modern media environment. Being sensitive is a good thing, by the way. If the world was controlled by sensitive people it would be a much nicer place.
The toddler in the video at the start of this post was crying not because he was sad but because his heart had been touched by the beauty of the music. What is sad is that it was the first time he had heard Moonlight Sonata. Perhaps it was the first time he'd heard classical music. Was it the first time he'd heard any beautiful music? Have we arrived at the first time in history when a child never gets to hear beautiful music?
I think so.
The people who control the music industry are not good people but sickos who want your children to turn out dark natured, prematurely sexualised, violent, degraded and suicidal. You should know that by what 'artists' they decide to sign up and what 'tunes' they churn out. They have the power to fill our environments with uplifting, joyful, fun and positive music but, instead, they fill it with the opposite. You have to ask why?
While we may not have the power to change what the music industry churns out, we do have the power to change our environments and what our children are exposed to. That does, of course, mean that you have to clear out from your world all the poison. No TV, no radio, no unsupervised access to the internet, only wholesome films and no smartphone babysitting (I have never even owned a smartphone).
Last night, over dinner, I suggested to my daughter that she chose a beautiful old song instead of succumbing to peer pressure and choosing a modern popular song. I said, 'Imagine if you chose The Skye Boat song. Maybe none of them have ever heard it. It would blow their minds. I bet they'd sit there with their mouths open.' I hope she finds the courage to be such a rebel. Isn't it sad though that a child has to feel so daring to present something so beautiful? How badly wrong our society has gone.
I have the chance to expose adults to rebellious music, which was once completely normal. I sometimes get negative feedback but generally people are very appreciative. One woman walked out muttering, 'It's like a church! I had to learn all those songs when I was a child!'. Oh well, bye! One young woman stood as still as a statue as I played Mozart one day. Her eyes were glazed over and her mouth was agape. The statue started to move my way and she asked, 'What is this?'. I wasn't sure what she was talking about so asked, 'What is what?'. She asked, 'What is this music?' to which I replied, 'Mozart.' 'Oh. But what type of music is it?' she asked. 'Classical music'. Had she never heard classical music before? How wonderful that I had introduced her to something that would bring her so much pleasure but how sad that neither her parents nor her school had done it before?
I have never for a second regretted my decision to raise my child in a wholesome environment full of happy, fun, beautiful and positive music. Even if every other child in the entire world has been raised on modern music, I will still believe I made the right choice. When you know the bottle on the shelf labelled 'Drink For Kids' in fact contains poison, you stop pouring it down your child's throat. Or, at least, you should.
Give your child a rich musical education by playing classical music, Latin, Flamenco, European folk, jazz, swing to fill their hearts with love, encourage them to sing joyfully and make them dance like no-one's watching. If you don't expose them to beautiful music by talented artists, who will? How are they ever going to know what real music is if you don't show them?
What we put into our childrens' hearts today will be what we reap from society tomorrow.
