Week 7 : The Narration

 The music censorship did not just begin in the past 20 years. In fact, people have been censoring music all throughout twentieth century. After the 50's, the music censorship started becoming even more prominent because of musicians with more carefree attitude and heavily involved on drugs and sex. And in the 1960s, finally, the lyrical content became the main cause for censorship.
 Especially in Korea, the past government corruptly used music censorship to achieve their political purpose. The music censorship by government had extensively implemented throughout 1970s by the Korea Broadcasting Ethics Commitee and Korea Media Rating Board.
 Most of rap musics include violent and explicit contents, so they are censored by government. According to the statistics, however, the data showed very little correlation between the crimes in the lyrics and their counterparts. So the argument that violent or explicit lyrics influence crimes have to be accepted incredulously.
