Any way to get your mother in trouble for "fits of anger"? Yes, today's music has lost a lot of its flavor but that's no reason to ban it. Coldplay is not necessarily evil, and I see no reason to not listen to Lady Gaga if you enjoy it. It is being unreasonable to demand it be thrown away under threat of living at a group home (where you would probably have more freedom than among the jokehovians). I wonder if this could be investigated by a judicial committee. Then your mother will have to endure the embarrassment of a judicial reproof.
If that goes nowhere or is not an option (for instance, her husband is a hounder), you might try threatening "You move me into the group home, I will see to it that you move into a jail cell for child abuse". Abusive parents deserve jail time, and abusive religions deserve to be taxed out of business and the leaders thrown to rot in jail. You have the right to listen to whatever music you see fit, so long as it is not so loud that everyone in the house is forced to listen to it. You bear the responsibility and you alone. If you have a headphones, you have the right to put whatever you see fit on them (so long, as before, that it isn't so loud that everyone else can hear the content). So the Illuminati is controlling much of today's music--maybe that is why so much sounds lousy. And maybe they are trying to create a reaction to get all fun banned--sounds like it is working.
As for gays, it is a shame they are being punished with death in many parts of the world today. Regardless of what attitudes your parents have about it, death is too harsh for homosexuals. Islam is like that--and so was Christi-SCAM-ity during the middle ages (see the Law of St Benedict--you will be surprised how harsh xians treat it, too). Parents that rage because you have differing ideas about what the "punishment" should be from theirs are in the wrong--that is more abuse and should be treated as such (jail time for the parents). Homosexuality does happen in nature, and many people are bisexual by nature. It should be treated as a personal viewpoint issue only, since many people go through homosexual or bisexual phases while others are permanently that way.
For the music, I will not directly order anyone what to do, but I will suggest you try other periods for size. Anyone remember the 1950s and 1960s? Remember why the Beatles were such a big hit? Payola was trashing music until the Beatles hit the country, and most of their music is worth listening to again. Then came the garage bands--The Guess Who, Grass Roots, The Who, The Doors, and so many others that started with small operations and became major bands. R&B artists like the Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and James Brown are worth listening to, at least once. I also recommend listening to The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys.
Remember the 1970s? The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, The Bee Gees, KC & The Sunshine Band, Earth Wind & Fire, Foreigner, Styx, and Fleetwood Mac are worth a listen. Rumours (Fleetwood Mac), The Eagles Greatest Hits and Hotel California, Saturday Night Fever, and Led Zeppelin's box set are worth listening to. You can also listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon if you are curious as to why that stayed on the charts so long. And, don't forget there are so many other bands that were less prominent but had great hits. Stevie Wonder's best music came between 1972 and 1977--Picture Book and Innervisions are worth a listen.
Remember the 1980s? I recommend listening to Michael Jackson, at least once. Off The Wall, Thriller (especially Thriller), and Bad are worth listening to through at least once. Prince (Purple Rain), Madonna (True Blue, Like A Virgin are recommended), The Police (Synchronicity), Phil Collins (No Jacket Required), and Duran Duran (any of the 3 albums with 1983 vintage music out are worth listening to) are worth listening to at least once. For singles, I recommend Flashdance, Every Breath You Take (Police), Down Under (Men At Work), We Are the World (USA For Africa), Jump (Van Halen), and Like a Virgin (Madonna). There are definitely many others--more than 3,000 per decade just in the Top 40 Mainstream.
Try some of these--you will find out what music used to sound like. And yes, the jokehovians used to get all huffy about these groups, too. They would have a stroke if their parents listened to Elvis Presley or The Beatles in their day, just as they do today with Lady Gaga or Coldplay. In the 1970s, it was that Led Zeppelin, The Eagles (Hotel California), and The Rolling Stones. In the 1980s, Madonna's Dress You Up was derided as one of the top 15 most obscene songs of all time. And Foreigner, ZZ Top, and Ratt took heat as being "bad". Prince, with Purple Rain and his contribution to Sheena Easton's Sugar Walls, was the grandfather of the Explicit Lyrics warnings you often see these days--in 1984.
And if your parents throw another tantrum when you listen to Michael Jackson, Saturday Night Fever, or The Eagles, do they deserve to not rot in jail? Do they deserve to force you to listen to their 135 pieces of sxxxthat are worse than anything you have now? If anything, I would worry if all you ever listened to was that smut they call music--all 135 pieces of it. As I see it, the jokehovians need to keep their noses out of people's music library. It usually only affects them negatively if they are so impressionable that they always do what the song says (then they need to grow up, which is not going to happen if they are led to only listen to Kingdumb maladies) or if they panic and become paranoid when a song comes up. In that case, it is the fear of that song that exerts the power, not the song itself.
