In this episode of "Parents React," a group of parents were asked to listen to three songs by the artist XXXTENTACION. The songs were played without music videos, and the parents were not told who the artist was beforehand. Their reactions ranged from shock and disgust to amusement and disappointment.
The parents were particularly disturbed by the explicit language and violent themes in the lyrics, with many expressing concern about the impact such music could have on children. Some noted that while they might not mind their kids listening to the songs, they would still want to have a conversation with them about the lyrics and themes.
After learning that XXXTENTACION is only 19 years old and has been accused of multiple charges, including robbery and assault, the parents were asked how they would talk to their kids about the artist's behavior. Many emphasized the importance of guiding their children and having open conversations about the music they listen to and the artists they idolize.
When asked if they would be okay with their kids listening to XXXTENTACION's music, most of the parents said no, citing the explicit content and negative themes. However, a few parents took a more nuanced approach, suggesting that while they wouldn't want their kids to emulate the artist's behavior, they could still appreciate the music as art.
