Whatever you do don't go back to the 50s because every song is about teenage girls.

Ted Nugent the great American Patriot was definitely not singing about being a Pedo in his song "Jailbait"

I mean just look at these lyrics. Nothing to see here:

Well, I don't care if you're just thirteen You look too good to be true I just know that you're probably clean There's one little think I got do to you

Courtney Love fellated him reportedly, while less than 14 years of age.

Burn it all down.

Fucking Stranglehold.

The song is basically about him murdering his gf.

Then you've got fuckin' Little Girls by Oingo Boingo, just how in the fuck did that song ever get aired on terrestrial radio?

Little Girls is satire though, it's supposed to gross you out.

Wasn't that one more tongue in cheek? (Oingo boingo I mean)

Maybe I am too young to have properly understood some context or something, but uh... no, naw, on finding the music video for that as an early teen, on early youtube...

No no no, it very much just screams 'Sent Chris Hansen to the film studio for this ASAP'.

Like, I'm fairly sure a whole lot of very early uses of pedobear, on 4chan, involved people using it as reactions to people posting that music video.

According to Wikipedia, "the song was written as satire"

So I know that's only someone else's opinion, but at least I'm not alone in thinking that.

Him and kid rock seriously just told on themselves and are practically worshipped by the same people who always use the "think about the kids" argument.

I mean that's basically what hair metal was all about so I suppose.
