Miley Cyrus went too far at the VMAs
This year’s MTV Video Music Awards featured a night complete with scandals, drama and some risk-taking music. It was a night that might even be considered one of the award show’s biggest reveals yet.
For those who were witness to this TV event, it revealed a lot – in particular Miley Cyrus’s breasts. And while most of us, at least the 18, 19 year-olds and 20 somethings crave this sort of twisted and unexpected entertainment, what about those who aren’t so keen to see these things broadcast?
That is the one thing that truly irritates me. I understand MTV can’t fully control who their audience is, yet you would think they would at least have some sort of filter when keeping in mind the younger generations watching this event.
This can have an adverse effect on the younger generation as they take what they see or hear and perceive it as something they should be doing to be cool.
So yes, MTV has gone too far, and the finale at the VMAs is an example as to why it was too much.
Referring back to Cyrus, not only was this once sweet, all-American girl the host of the show, she was also the final act of the night as she released her new song “Dooo it,” that will be featured on her upcoming album “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.”
The song featured the lyrics, “yeah I smoke pot, yeah I love peace,” followed by vulgar language. Peace might be a good message to send to the younger generation, but marijuana probably isn’t.
When I was in my early teens, I, too, was listening to Cyrus, who was a very different person than she is today I might add. Those of us who grew up watching Hannah Montana know the kind of person she once was.
With this newfound Cyrus still being so popular today, I imagine the younger generation is still listening to her. I also imagine what she sings about can have an impact on these kids. The Liberty Voice voiced this idea in a 2014 article about Cyrus when it states, “she is handing over bad moral values to the younger generations.”
These artists should be better role models to their fans and not promote activities such as smoking marijuana.
