This is not an issue to be taken lightly. Being brought up with this stuff has a very non-spiritual effect, to put it mildly. This is besides the likely link to ADD, as per a certain study with mice.
Would you apply the same thinking to the way of sliding the body that often comes along with this type of music, to say that perhaps it brings you closer to Hashem?
I’ll only address those who don’t think so. It’s pretty obvious that the music is suggesting that kind of movement and behavier. Even if you’ll stop your children from acting out the music, do you think the general mood and thought pattern doesn’t go into his psyche?
The fact is that music goes deeper into the person than most other messages. This is partly due to the fact that it comes as an enjoyment, which automaticaly has the person agreeing with it. Also, music is something that you feel along with. If the music is conveying feelings that you never anticipated, now, these emotions are a part of you.
And again, the issue is not about who made it, it is about who it will make!
