"Backstage, underage..." Why didn't we question these lyrics?

<p>In this episode of Chat and Bother, Don and Eva talk about the realization that a lot of the music they grew up loving does not age well when you actually listen to the lyrics as an adult. It is mind-blowing how popular music from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s often normalized behavior that now feels creepy.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDuOQJzuQZI" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Watch this episode with bonus video</a></p> <p>How did themes like objectification, stalking, cheating, property destruction, and blurred lines around age and consent get treated as catchy, humorous, or romantic? </p> <p>🎵 Songs and Artists Discussed</p> <p>"You Remind Me of Something" – R. Kelly</p> <p>"Private Eyes" – Daryl Hall & John Oates</p> <p>"Do Me!" – Bell Biv DeVoe</p> <p>"Bust Your Windows" – Jazmine Sullivan</p> <p>"O.P.P." – Naughty by Nature</p> <p>"It Wasn't Me" – Shaggy</p> <p>Confessions – Usher</p> <p>"Super Freak" - Rick James</p> <p>Don and Eva also reflect on how parenthood, particularly having a daughter, has reshaped how they hear the music of their youth. They also discuss West Coast rap from artists like Too Short, Eazy-E, and The Dogg Pound, noting how difficult it is to find songs from that era that feel appropriate for children today.</p> <p><a href="https://giphy.com/chatandbother" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Get GIFs from this episode</a></p> <p><strong>Where to find us:</strong></p> <p>Instagram - <a href= "https://instagram.com/chatandbother">@chatandbother</a></p> <p>Facebook Page - <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/chatandbother">@chatandbother</a></p> <p>YouTube - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@chatandbother">@chatandbother</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href= "https://twitter.com/chatandbother">@chatandbother</a></p> <p>TikTok - <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@chatandbother">@chatandbother</a></p> <p>Threads - <a href= "https://www.threads.net/@chatandbother">@chatandbother</a></p> <p>Email List - <a href= "https://eepurl.com/igYlfv">http://eepurl.com/igYlfv</a></p> <p><strong>Podcasting Help:</strong> <a href= "https://chatandbother.com/w/category/podcast-help/">Learn about how we make the Chat & Bother podcast and get podcasting tips</a></p> <p> </p>
