No but I have the ingredients for a white russian. 

[Ripsnort]

but if you go to music, listen to what's popular today...they sing about killing people, effing each other, etc.......the female singers seem to think they need to wear as little as possible.........music has devolved a lot.

Not much different from the Peace Love and Dope generation of music, Mr.Poopy Pants!

I hate to point the finger at a particular demographic but my 22yo sons mates that are from single mother families dont know squat about "Blokey" stuff. One of them cut his hand to pices because he didn't know how to remove a light globe and most of them have no real world skills and are basically unemployable. They all have entitlement issues (probably from living in a social security environment all their life.) and believe the government actually owes them their dole check. These are the ones we need to fear.

Most of those issues are inbred through nurturing...just saying.

Peace love and dope music spawned a generation of kids that call others Mr.Poopy Pants

This makes me laugh...my dad was career military and I remember him yelling at me constantly...

"Turn that Iron Maiden Bull**** off, what the hell are you listening to that Van Halen garbage for!!"

He'd go on for hours about how kids 'these days' were idiots and morons...

Today, with a few notable exceptions, most of my childhood friends turned out pretty normal - doctors, lawyers, businessmen, etc.

I think every generation has this problem. In my parent's day, Buddy Holly and Elvis were evil, before that it was Big Band Swing, before that Jazz.

Course, today, I think I'm in the majority of people who'd love to kick the crap outta Justin Beiber, so I guess I'm no different than my old man!

Holy Kraap!  You were listening to my radio show?

Big difference. The music today is horrible with very few hard to find exceptions, the "Peace Love and Dope" generation had amazing music. And I'm the age that all the new music is aimed towards. (Turning 19 on the 4th).

Meh, gonna go back to listening to the Grateful Dead, lulz

Blast! They're the most vile things I've ever seen!  Evil's Spawn, I dare say!  Let us exterminate them! Be ruthless in your methods, friends, and we shalt rid ourselves of these demons!

I see it like this...

as drug tastes and preferences evolved, so did music

for example:

dope musicians made fantasy, slow oriented music (mostly rock).

then a few decades later speed musicians (obviously speed consumers) sped up rock music with thrash metal.
at the same time well known rappers (some of them who are distributors of crack and coke to make a living) brought reality music to the mainstream.
