I see that some folks haven't made the distinction between dislike and offend.

I am offended by songs that are jingoistic, and glorify war. That is not to say that songs meant to inspire people to act in a cause are wrong. But when the attempt is to glorify the most horrible example of mankind's existence (war and violence), then I am offended mightily.

I also am offended by songs that characterize whole groups of people with a specific message. This would include much of today's rap music which seems to indicate that women are "ho's" meant to be dressed up to please men. As the Father of three daughters, I am offended by songs which lead them to believe their role in the world is to dress scantily and rub their ass against some guys crotch. This would include songs which send these generalized, and incorrect, messages about folks based on gender, race, religion.
