One of the priveleges my school will allow is music. Depending on how new age your teacher is, they're more than okay with it. My history teacher doesn't think you should have the privelege of music in a school, but the teachers of my both my tech classes are obviously okay with technology because they teach it. One rule I hate. Our tech classes will only allow music from the computer. We can stream music, but it's not like my phone where I have my organized playlists. And my phone consists of music I have, not music I'm going to get attached to and later want to buy it when I save my money for much more important things blah blah blah. Now I know the school only allows it from the computer because if it's during a test or a quiz they don't want you looking up the answers and they want to moderate what you listen to. But if it's on my phone and I use my headset it shouldn't matter as long as nobody else hears it. The only listening to it on the computer rule isn't something I'm whining about, it's still a privelege. But my robotics teacher (my first tech class) made a list of stuff we weren't allowed to listen to. No swearing, drug references, sex references, violence references, and if YouTube was our streaming device the video or audio couldn't be any of the above. But also, my robotic teacher but dubstep as one of the violations. Tf is wrong with dubstep? I mean, not only I obsess over it, but how does it that apply to any of the previous violations? I can name a few songs in the dubstep genre that has swearing or drug references (for example What's Noise - Thunderstoned is an example of borederline drug reference because of "stoned"). But the teacher specifically said we couldn't listen to it AT ALL. Not all rock, rap, or country is inappropiate. Neither is dubstep or any other EDM genre. It begs the question where teachers actually have listened to it. They did listen to a Skrillex song and get the general assumption all dubstep is like that? I could probably name a few artists who doesn't make any dubstep with innapropiate content. Because like with traditional and any other EDM genres you're going to have innapropiate songs and non-innapropiate. That's how music works. The thing I'm confused it, is it just dubstep or does this apply to drumstep, electro, glitch hop, and trap as well? And if I listen to an EDM channel like MrSuicideSheep, xKito Music, Monstercat, or AirwaveMusicTV is that not ok either because they feature dubstep songs? My conclusion is, I can certainly comply to rules of finding appropiate music. But, if other students can listen to genres as long as they check to see if the lyrics are alright or if the video content isn't bad, why is dubstep being generallized as it's not safe for children (more specifically 13 - 14 year olds) to listen to? Not much fairness there.
