I don't think it's the music, either. That's just silly. However, I do think that the media on the whole are presenting and selling a far more sexualized world to a younger audience than the one I grew up in, and mine was more sexualized than my mom's, and on down the line. As time goes by, the progression just continues.

I did things at 16 that my mother did at 21 (I assume, anyway). Now, 12 year olds are doing stuff that I did at 15. The whole system is just getting younger. There are a zillion factors into that, but I think the largest one is that this is what is selling. This is good business. This isn't about the music at all.
