I know. Some of the thigns that get censored or are considered bad language in the US are crazy to me
I'll probably start a huge flame war for saying this, but the reason why you get such stupid censoring in the US is because of the "traditionals" and the "soccer-moms" that feel like they need to go off on anyone and anything that doesn't fit their outdated ideas. That's why portrayals or discussions of anything remotely related to "sex," even if important for health, are frowned upon here. Hell, a lot of people here would probably still make a big deal out of Avril saying "damn" once. We still have boomers that think video games cause violence and that electronics will rot your brain. |

I can't believe it started in the 80s. That's not that long ago. Back on topic sort of, not really lol. I don't like the censorship logo "parental advisory" on some of Avril's albums or like Taylor's latest albums. It's so weird to me. |

I don't know where most of the people on this forum are from however I am from the US, and religion is a BIG reason why censorship is the way it is. Unlike Europe where most people are a type of atheist; (most) Christians (or any religion however this is the only one I have seen do this) here get so offended or upset about sex, cussing, or alcohol being in music or even talked about. As an agnostic man it drives me crazy. I was raised in a Christian household in Alabama (I know right), and have no problem with anyone who has faith it is just not something I believe.
Also, "Damn" and "Hell" are still considered offensive to people, and our clean versions of albums have no offensive words out of it except "Damn" and "Hell".
About the dislikeable lyrics: I never realized the Nobody's Fool lyrics, and the Who Knows one either. Also, the Smile and EBBY lyrics are something, but I still love the songs.

The chorus to TBDT is great! The verses just let it down. And the cringey bit at the beginning where she is rapping almost. “let me hear you say hey hey hey”. No!
Shake it Off by Taylor Swift is a blatant rip off of it but then TBDT sounds like Toni Basil’s Hey Mickey which I think even that is a cover.

I loveeee the whole of TBDT (song). I don’t think it was the right choice for a single as it’s too similar to GF, but it’s so much fun. It’s the perfect amount of “bratty” for me. Probably my favourite from TBDT.

I used to really like TBDT song a lot but as I grew older, I think I kind of grew out of it tbh It’s not that I think it’s bad or anything and I love TBDT album, so it’s not the brattiness or anything that turns me off. It’s just one of those things I used to really like it and then I kind of grew out of it I guess. It feels a little too “young” and like something a little girl would sing in her pink glittery bedroom.
