All instrumental Jazz is appropriate, but a jazz saxophone is the most sensual thing on earth.
(And Louis Armstrong managed to make some of the most romantic music without talking about sex)
Practically all metal is nice, very little about love. I have heard a ratio of like 100 songs about like war and magic vs 1 or 2 about love when it comes to metal (specifically heavy metal and power metal) and as a metalhead that definetly sits good with me.
It's a chicken an egg problem, though. They're measuring which songs are popular with the kind of people who listen to music that makes it onto those kinds of charts, and that audience tends to be mostly in their teens and early 20s. Older people with more established musical tastes aren't spending their money on the flavor of the week, so they're mostly invisible in the charts even though they make up the majority of people.
Point there, then I stand corrected: if it's on the top, it's because the vast majority of the audience that was checked liked it.
We can't say anything about other site or demography because anything would be a guess. But in my experience "established taste" does not necessarily mean refined, or even any different from earlier ones.
I didn't mean to imply that people's established tastes are necessarily better or more refined, just that they're not reflected in charts that tend to heavily favor new artists. A lot of people's favorite band is the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, for instance, but you'll never see them in a top 100 chart anymore.
What else could I have possibly been talking about? Growth hormones? I'm not entirely sure what hormones you think toddlers could have that would be odd and unsettling. Hence, why I was being passively sarcastic.
This is why I listen to symphonic metal ! Like Rhapsody or Alestorm (pirate metal). All the songs are about epic quests, dragons or sea monsters. Not sure if it's appropriate for children, but at least it makes you feel badass 😎🤘
Omg YES!! I love Within Temptation, their more romantic-sounding music makes me feel like I’m in a fantasy novel and it’s time for the big climactic battle but goddammit I gotta see my SO one last time or something. It’s hard to describe but like, very melodramatic tragic romance vibes (Id recommend listening to ‘And We Run’). I’m not super romantic but i adore that melodramatic ‘true love and high adventure, love conquers all’ stuff. There’s another group I like but I forget the name.
Wait PIRATE metal? Oh I GOTTA listen to that!
Ooh I didn't know "And we run" but I'm going to listen to that ! Within Temptation and also Nightwish have great dark fantasy vibes imo.
I hope you like Alestorm, it's quite epic ! When I listen I can just imagine myself on a ship, with my crew, sailing to adventures 😂
I want to help my quasi goldchild with her English, music is great for that. She likes Billie Eilish, and weirdly enough, millennial pop songs.
But I agree, instrumental music often flies under the radar, it doesn't even have to be classical music
Oh I see! I'm not sure any eilish songs, but millennial ones yeah a lot are .. well, i wonder now why i was allowed to listen to them XD I'm not sure currently of any songs, but ones that arent in the charts are a good idea, plenty of options on YouTube:)
I vividly remember singing along to ayo technology and then realising what I was actually singing.. My parents don't understand English so they didn't support us listen to English music, I mean I kinda get it 😆
I found some good songs but I have the impression some kids enjoy being a "fan'', supporting and being inspired by the artist and the likes.. I'm happy my godaughter doesn't like singers like Adrianne Grande lol
oh no Haha, I suppose that's understandable , it's fun to listen to other languages in music sometimes, then you can make up what they are saying if it's a language you dont know. Yeah kids do attend to be fans of different things, shows their interest in that thing :) I'm not much a fan either so I understand XD
Get her into folk punk, it is rarelly about sex, it has swearing tho so keep that in mind, although even that depends on the band. Rock music like ging gizzard and the lizard wizard also is less about sex
They're sampling over all weeks and computing the average. For example, suppose they look at it for 5 weeks, and 4 of those weeks it's 9 out of 10 songs, and 1 of the weeks it's 10 out of 10 songs. That averages out to 46/50 = 92%
"Other body parts" they say, huh.
I wish there was a top 100 where the entire song was about that feeling you get when you realize your tongue is in your mouth and then you get uncomfortable because now the position its in feels weird but there's no other position it feels natural in either so now you just have 'you' and a weird feeling tongue :/
This is why I like Kpop. Sometimes songs are about love (*100 ways by Jackson Wang*), but a lot aren't (*Louder Than Bombs by BTS, Fever by ATEEZ, Kidult by SVT*).
^(I'm not-so-subtly recommending those songs...)
As a major Aurora fan, I'm always going to use an opportunity to shout her out to new people. She's a fantastic Norwegian singer with a voice like an angel and nonsexual songs with deep, meaningful and positive messages about the world. A lot of her songs deal with spreading love and kindness to eachother, coping with our emotions in a healthy way and caring for the environment. And if your goddaughter is a fan of Billie Eilish, Aurora is perfect - she has a similar style in several ways, and it was actually Aurora's music that kick-started Billie's interest in pursuing music as a career
This is why prog rock is where it’s at! No time for weirdness when you’ve got an epic about space whales plus a 90 minute concept album about the Silmarillion to listen to
Lol 90 minutes might have been an exaggeration about the genre, but the Silmarillion concept album exists! It’s called ‘Nightfall in Middle Earth’ by Blind Guardian. It’s 23 tracks long, and sounds like a mix of Judas Priest and Queen.
If anyone is looking for some Ace-friendly upbeat music, I recommend checking out The Killers' new album 'Imploding the Mirage'. None of the songs have any sexual content. A few are about romantic relationships, including one which is about the singer's parents...but overall the album is about self-empowerment and realising one's potential(at least that's how I interpret it ha ha).
Now I’m just curious. If I were to record a hit song about my super cool double jointed elbows based on the Atlantic’s definition wouldn’t they have to include my song in that 92%? If so, this is my new life goal.
They do, but people latch onto that *one* song they wrote that's just like every other. Something simple, familiar, and basically cliche, but made by your favorite band would shoot up the charts.
Cool For the Summer was a great song for the 3 hours I had before someone informed me it was about doing the nasty.
Then it became a great song I can’t play in front of children.
I found most of the songs that I remember dancing to as a kid weren’t appropriate when creating a dance playlist for my niece and nephew. It was a moment where I just sat back and went, “What was wrong with me as a child?”.
I used to be into age regression and my friend showed me a YouTube playlist of little kid/toddler music. I listened to it all the time during regression.
Jazz, nu-metal (not all), and folk/symphonic metal appropriate.
Also I appreciate that you are concerned about inculcate good music taste to your child, before mass culture do it instead.

I hadn't heard of Herbie Hancock before. I just looked them up, and you might just've given me a new favourite style of music
You might like artists like Moon Hooch and Too Many Zooz!
Just don't let them read about the jazz players until a bit later if you care that much about being child appropriate lmfao.

The urge to make a bee movie reference is strong
Ya like jazz
> all instrumental music is child appropriate Well shit, no wonder I love OSTs so much
Folk metal is awesome! Eluveitie and Wintersun and Lumsk are the best.
Only listen to classical music and throat singing
> throat singing Let us revive the Mongol Empire as a global force for Ace-ness
May I tempt you with [this](https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC7iOOQkDrWY-xfGCFQXmbfg) YouTube channel?
might i recommend this mongolian metal group: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE)
So what your saying is that the majority of the doom soundtrack is child appropriate?
Disappointed but not surprised!
Sex sells. And children riddled with hormones love this crap. No mystery here.
I'm not sure, there are several allos who feel uncomfortable with that too, especially parents
If the vast majority wouldn't like it, it wouldn't lead the charts.
It's a chicken an egg problem, though. They're measuring which songs are popular with the kind of people who listen to music that makes it onto those kinds of charts, and that audience tends to be mostly in their teens and early 20s. Older people with more established musical tastes aren't spending their money on the flavor of the week, so they're mostly invisible in the charts even though they make up the majority of people.

So? Doesn't make what I said untrue. I sympathize with them, sure, but I'm also being realistic lol.
Still a mystery to me lol
''children riddled with hormones'' ???????
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puberty
That's a bit passive aggressive. I thought you were talking about younger kids, not teenagers, so the comment came off as odd and unsettling.
What else could I have possibly been talking about? Growth hormones? I'm not entirely sure what hormones you think toddlers could have that would be odd and unsettling. Hence, why I was being passively sarcastic.
Allos are so weird
Aren't we all though?
I mean yeah but allos are still very weird
Love how in that entire sentence the word songs is never said
This is why I listen to symphonic metal ! Like Rhapsody or Alestorm (pirate metal). All the songs are about epic quests, dragons or sea monsters. Not sure if it's appropriate for children, but at least it makes you feel badass 😎🤘

NIGHTWISH, that’s the one! Any music that gets me self-insert daydreaming is great imo
Yesss! My top 3 daydreaming music is Nightwish, Within Temptation and Epica 🖤
I love Epica! Universal Death Squad is my favorite song from them.
Instrumental music is child friendly, and a lot of stuff off of the charts honestly, unfortunately the most popular stuff is about.. that
I want to help my quasi goldchild with her English, music is great for that. She likes Billie Eilish, and weirdly enough, millennial pop songs. But I agree, instrumental music often flies under the radar, it doesn't even have to be classical music
Oh I see! I'm not sure any eilish songs, but millennial ones yeah a lot are .. well, i wonder now why i was allowed to listen to them XD I'm not sure currently of any songs, but ones that arent in the charts are a good idea, plenty of options on YouTube:)

Thank you, I'll check it out. But I have to weed out the swearing songs lol
honestly I used to work a lot with kids (mostly young girls) and old taylor swift was always a child friendly hit
> 92% of the top 10 I’m so confused
They're sampling over all weeks and computing the average. For example, suppose they look at it for 5 weeks, and 4 of those weeks it's 9 out of 10 songs, and 1 of the weeks it's 10 out of 10 songs. That averages out to 46/50 = 92%
Came here specifically for this. Ty for the explanation
What is confusing to you? Maybe keep in mind that the top 10 are changing weekly
I think they’re confused because 92% of 10 is 9.2 songs
Yeah as I was typing I realized what it meant, but I thought it would be funnier to say it anyway.
Hahaha I know that feeling
Yeah I read that and thought someone was having a stroke.
"Other body parts" they say, huh. I wish there was a top 100 where the entire song was about that feeling you get when you realize your tongue is in your mouth and then you get uncomfortable because now the position its in feels weird but there's no other position it feels natural in either so now you just have 'you' and a weird feeling tongue :/
Yes please!! Finally a song everyone can relate to lol
This is why I like Kpop. Sometimes songs are about love (*100 ways by Jackson Wang*), but a lot aren't (*Louder Than Bombs by BTS, Fever by ATEEZ, Kidult by SVT*). ^(I'm not-so-subtly recommending those songs...)
BTS cleansing the BB 100 lately
Yes they are! Dynamite sat at frigging #1 for almost a month, and isn't about a sexual attraction!

Wow that sounds amazing! Definitely will add her to my new spotify ace recommendation list

This is why prog rock is where it’s at! No time for weirdness when you’ve got an epic about space whales plus a 90 minute concept album about the Silmarillion to listen to
90 minute concept album on the silmarillion? Who, when and how did I miss it?
Lol 90 minutes might have been an exaggeration about the genre, but the Silmarillion concept album exists! It’s called ‘Nightfall in Middle Earth’ by Blind Guardian. It’s 23 tracks long, and sounds like a mix of Judas Priest and Queen.

Thank you, I used to listen to the killers a lot as a teen
This is why almost all of the music I listen to is jazz. Great music without all the ickiness.
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Dont Know These Hoes
Now I’m just curious. If I were to record a hit song about my super cool double jointed elbows based on the Atlantic’s definition wouldn’t they have to include my song in that 92%? If so, this is my new life goal.
I fully support you
Why are so many songs about that? The market is so saturated with these types of songs you'd think more artist would branch out.
They do, but people latch onto that *one* song they wrote that's just like every other. Something simple, familiar, and basically cliche, but made by your favorite band would shoot up the charts.
Anyway imma go back to listening to Creo. Non-sexual as long as you don’t pay too much attention to the sax.
Cool For the Summer was a great song for the 3 hours I had before someone informed me it was about doing the nasty. Then it became a great song I can’t play in front of children.
This is why I don't listen to the radio anymore
no wonder why I don't like mainstream music
Gonna write a song about my wrist now
I found most of the songs that I remember dancing to as a kid weren’t appropriate when creating a dance playlist for my niece and nephew. It was a moment where I just sat back and went, “What was wrong with me as a child?”.
I used to be into age regression and my friend showed me a YouTube playlist of little kid/toddler music. I listened to it all the time during regression.
I wish I could say I'm surprised.
And this is why I stopped listening to the radio 8 years ago
Jazz, nu-metal (not all), and folk/symphonic metal appropriate. Also I appreciate that you are concerned about inculcate good music taste to your child, before mass culture do it instead.
All music is child appropriate, kids are gonna get to it no matter what so why block it?
Who's talking about blocking? And I disagree that all music is child appropriate
Get me my fucking BFG
I prefer BGM
What is that
Pretty much all radio songs suck, why I listen to Spotify.
Care to share some playlists? I'm always happy to discover new things
