Dancehall one of the biggest forms of indiscipline in Jamaica

THE EDITOR, Madam: DANCEHALL ENTERTAINMENT or dancehall music is one of the biggest forms of indiscipline in Jamaica. It’s like a nursery bed or a forerunner for all the other forms of lewd music and dirty lyrics in Jamaica.

Whenever some persons are having their stage shows, parties, Footloose, cookouts, birthday bashes, big or small, they carry on very disgracefully.

For example, some deejays and entertainers carry on very disorderly and disrespectfully, using foul language, shouting bad words, and behaving like a bad, raging bull.

Some wear their pants below their bottom while doing some crazy demonstrations with a stooping female. It’s a sexual demonstration. In some cases, dancehall seems to be all about sex.

Furthermore, they have a way of classifying females – “Gal yuh dis, gal yuh dat” – telling them about their private parts and styling them as if they are some objects that have been abandoned. And some of the female entertainers are just as bad as the males because they, too, use the most dirty words and are skimpily clad.

FILTHINESS EVERYWHERE

Dancehall music and entertainment need cleaning up; the music industry needs tidying up. The music industry ought to take the blame for all the filthiness and the murder music that is coming out of the dancehall. We must weed all the bad eggs out of the dancehall and make it good. The filthiness and loud, dirty noise are contaminating the society, which will eventually give rise to more crime.

All around Jamaica, even on public transportation, we are hearing dirty music. In fact, many of our radio stations are playing songs that are not fit for airplay. Why are they doing such a thing? It is very sad!

Jamaica is overwhelmed with a strong dose of dirty music and a high level of indiscipline. No wonder our crime rate is so high and so many persons are being slaughtered each year. DONALD J. MCKOY donaldmckoy876@gmail.com
