Just got called a cunt by a 10 year old. How's your Friday?

[EllisRoses]

Group of 10-12 year olds in the play park singing along to Cardi B "bring a mop and a bucket for my wet ass pussy" on repeat, throwing rubbish everywhere and kicking balls towards my toddlers head. I told them this isn't the place and to go play elsewhere if they're going to kick balls around. They all laughed and turned the music up and continued kicking ball around and singing about pussies, before asking me what I was looking at and to fuck off. I said I'm looking at a bunch of children who despite trying to act cool and grown up, still hang out in a play park, which says it all really. The youngest of the group called me an 'old cunt'. I'm 25

How's your Friday going?

You should have said: I may be a cunt but christ you're UGLY.

Laughed and walked away.

Also, it's a park so that's where you play ball and blast music. Just because it wasn't to your taste doesn't mean you get to move them on so yeah, you were being a bit of a nob.

Jesus Christ! Of course it bloody isn't.

FelicisNox I'm pretty sure a children's park isn't the place to be blasting out a song about a wet ass pussy. I listen to Rihanna singing explicitly about sex on my earphones when I'm cleaning the bathroom. I wouldn't blast it out down the park where the little ones are on the baby swings.

Quite a few years ago I had some swearing and nastiness from some boys of about that age in the local park while I was walking my dog. I asked them to leave it out and then one of them said they would rape my dog with the handle of the tennis racket they were holding. I sort of became full on hulk smash at that point and told them that if they touched my dog I would fucking end them. Next comes "I'll tell my dad on you, you can't say that to me, etc." and I was bring it on, bring your dad here and I'll tell him what little shits you all are. I honestly can't remember where it went from there other than they backed off with more swears but I think I scared them. I scared myself because I honestly would have hurt them if they'd tried to hurt my dog. Not my finest moment, but they were so vile and I just lost it.

Our local dog park is full of feral kids and parents at the moment.
The latest 'thing' is taking a shit in the bush as they cant be bothered to walk home, and a woman encouraging her toddler to poo on the grass. A dog Walker handed her a poo bag and told her to pick it up as we have to pick our dog poo up
Dogs are always coming out of the bushes with dirty nappies in their mouths, its absolutely vile.
The language from the 9/10/11 year olds makes my eyes water.
One Lad was throwing shaken bottles of coke at passers by.
I pity the teachers next week!!

I still listen to music with explicit lyrics, but I don't let the kids hear it! Music like this has always been around, maybecnot quite so mainstream. I do remember a RHCP song coming on while I was with hubby, kids and in-laws in a hotel restaurant once, and the lyrics were filthy! Black grape came on after and there were loads of swear words. The kids didn't even notice, and if they did, they didn't repeat any of it it afterwards, but I remember my father in law saying, 'blimey, this is a bit much!' I think it's the actual aggression more than someone just calling me a cunt that would upset me tbh. If there was a large group of kids doing that, it would be intimidating and frightening, but again, maybe that's just a way for them to feel good about themselves, because it makes them feel confident and gives them a false sense of feeling 'tough'. Their home lives must be bloody miserable, whatever backgrounds they are from.

I don’t think explicit lyrics have always been around. I’m old enough to remember frankie goes to Hollywood’s ‘relax don’t do it’ being banned. ‘Do it’ meaning have sex - shudder. Around the mid 80’s. Songwriters and artists have always referenced shagging In their work, it was just a lot more subtle.

Squirrelsbizaar I remember that Relax also has the lyric, 'when you wanna come' /cum. Pretty explicit!!

My dad also has a collection of records from the 70s and some of the lyrics are filthy!

In my young mind it’s the ‘do it’ bit that was naughty,
Wouldn’t have had a clue what come / cum meant aged 10. Funnily enough thats the bit of the song I remember and that the bit that me and my friends giggled about behind adults backs.
Sadly theres hardly any ambiguity in the shite that calls itself music these days.

Samples of songs from. 70s please. There’s plenty of spread your wings, love machine, love to love you etc..
but they do leave something to the imagination and likely To go over the head of most kids unlike the erm.. classy wet ass pussy, ride your dick.

Come and do it are hardly comparable to the wap lyrics.

The Relax video was banned for ages as well. I saw it when I was in Camden Palace one night, they'd preview new songs/videos sometimes and it was pure, over the top, camp as a row of tents, filth!

Teaching a Yr10 class once, the whole class were quiet except for one boy. I asked him to stop talking, his reply was "suck my dick". The rest of the class took an audible sharp intake of breath, and I sent him out of the room.
At the end of the lesson I took him with me to call his parents so that he could explain why he was in detention that evening. Got mum's work number off the system, and couldn't believe it when I asked for Mrs X and got the reply "She's teaching at the moment, can she call you back?"

These were songs of a particular genre, (I can think of one that was clearly about anal sex) not typical 70s mainstream, but it is irrelevant what they are. I used to play these records out of curiosity when I was home alone.
The fact is, there have always been dirty lyrics to songs. It isn't a new thing. The only thing that's different now is that dirty lyrics are in mainstream pop and more people hear them/are aware of them. Having said that, Donna Summer's Love to Love you Baby was mainstream. According to Time Magazine, she had 22 orgasms during the song, and the BBC banned it. There was also Je T'aime in the 1960s which was huge.

Maybe Love to Love you wasn't that shocking lyrics wise (although maybe it was a bit at the time), but it was clear what it was about. I don't know what they were saying in Je T'aime as I din't speak French, but again, it's explicitly sexual, and very famously so.

I do remember Lil Louis French Kiss back in the late 80s (I think it was) being played on the top 40 show on the radio at tea time, complete with woman very obviously having an orgasm. Me and my sister had it playing on a transistor radio in the garden. I can remember my mum shouting at us from the kitchen to switch it off. I was a teenager at the time, and don't remember any of us even talking about it in school the next day. Loads of us would have heard it, but nothing was said oddly enough.

Why are lyrics like that permissible? I mean really? It’s misogynistic filth that is acceptable only because it relates to women.

Getting back to the point I was really trying to make... Adults do listen to music like that sometimes, but it's obviously not what anyone in their right mind would their kids to be listening to, or blasting out and singing along to, at the park!

Well tbh I'm not a fan of Cardi B, but if an adult listens to her that's their business. It does baffle me why and how it's aimed at young people. They are the ones who are interested in pop music, and this is being promoted to them.

"Maybe Love to Love you wasn't that shocking lyrics wise (although maybe it was a bit at the time), but it was clear what it was about"

Not if you're a child. I remember thinking "like a virgin" must have had something to do with the birth of Jesus because that was the only context I'd heard the word "virgin" in.

"A bucket and a mop for my wet ass pussy" is hardly the same thing, is it?

My parents probably said the same thing about Madonna back in the 80s, but there we go..

With regards to Madonna's like a virgin, I had no idea what a virgin meant at that time either, and I asked my dad. The look on his face was priceless as I remember. I looked it up in the dictionary afterwards because he wouldn't tell me.
These days it's more about the shock value, but sadly that has lost it's value anyway with the way people, particularly women are portrayed in media, especially in music. That isn't a new thing when you look at how many videos there are with women dancers half naked jiggling their bums at every opportunity, and for how long that's been happening. It's just now words like 'pussy' are creeping into the mainstream and although it IS shocking when that's ultimately aimed at youngsters, it loses impact because the media is normalising it, or at least trying to. It's awful and really grim to think 10 year olds are singing along to it.

In a spectacular feat of parenting I encouraged my (snuggly, v. Imature) 10yo to say the worst word he knew in order to get rid of his frustration & go back ho playing peaceably with my friends kids, thinking he would say shit at worst. Nope, CUNT at the top of his voice!

Even when Madonna did Erotica, she never said anything as explicit as that. It does seem like they say the most explicit things they can think of these days and get away with it too. I don't know if that Cardi B song is banned on the radio, but when you think how many kids have phones these days and probably access to social media and music downloads, very sadly most likely a lot of the time with minimal supervision, they are going to be seeking out what they've heard is the latest thing, and what their friends are into, and hearing it anyway. That's the times we live in, and parents need to be more aware, but then some couldn't care less, so that's what you're dealing with.
