Raunchy Music And Its Take In The Society

By Iva Cannon


Every known society, with its own culture, has a distinct form of instrumental or vocal sounds for human expression. Even the most isolated tribal societies from that of the prehistoric time up until today possess a unique sounds like raunchy music. It is even safer to assume that instrumental or vocal sounds existed prior to the dispersal of humans in the world.

Music is a reflection of many aspects in a certain society; from its way of life, social and economic make up, and the people's innermost belief and aspirations. Tracing back to the ancient people's shamanistic music as they lure animals and entertain themselves through creative mimic of nature's sound, to the Aborigines of Australia's use of Bunggul songs as they narrate epic journeys, to the church people's Gregorian chant in Medieval Europe, down to the modern world's popular sounds. Instrumental or vocal sound has always been a medium to entertain, communicate, express, and influence reality as they knew it.

Dazzai Shundai, an accomplished musician or flutist in Japan during the Tokugawa Period or Edo Period (1603-1868) was one of the firsts who classified sounds as having two functions. He said that instrumental or vocal sound alone can improve and regulate the aspirations of a human heart, and that there are no other ways. Instrumental or vocal sounds for him can be a proper sound 'gagaku' or raunchy sound 'ingaku'.

Through the emergence of popular industry which is very focused on song marketability, songs with lewd sexually explicit uninhibited contents had steadily grown in the market scene. Lewd songs happens to possess catchy and memorable beat and lyrics. Songs of this kind have already penetrated more and more societies also due to the relentless advancement of information technology.

Raunchy songs with its ability to incite intrigue and strong recall has undoubtedly grown enticing especially to the young generations. It would not even matter what countries are producing the said music. All songs or form of instrumental or vocal sounds are now easily shared through the power of information technology.

While some perceive raunchy songs as offensive and detrimental to human spirituality, sexual maturation, and morale, others argue that it is an expression of sexuality that cannot be interfered in accordance to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Whether which of both advocacies is more weighty, does not really matter.

The reality is that the world has now become more complex and beliefs are now varied. Raunchy song is a reflection of today's reality that many individuals are now more open about their sexuality. Censorship of instrumental or vocal sounds with sexually explicit lyrics and related videos that exhibit the same is near to impossible.

The world has revolved through time into many subcultures with different realities. What remains to be done is for the people to develop critical mindedness on choosing the type of music they choose to listen to and to be influenced with. Parents, educators, and other persons of authority can teach this to protect those who needs protecting.
