The controversy surrounding the song “+57”, performed by famous Colombian artists such as Karol G, Feid, J Balvin and Maluma, has sparked a necessary debate about the responsibility of music to transmit messages that can influence perception inappropriate behavior.
The online criticism focuses on the song promoting the sexualization of minors.
This incident shows significant progress in the collective awareness of the influence of music in normalizing unacceptable behaviours.
Historically, various genres of music have incorporated lyrics that have helped perpetuate harmful behaviors when repeated and adopted.
For example, some rancheras have romanticized gender violence, certain rock songs have confirmed homophobia, and in vallenato there are lyrics with sexual content.
What was considered normal or unnoticed in other times, today is the subject of scrutiny in a society that is more aware and committed to equality and the rights of all.
The constant repetition of lyrics that validate inappropriate behavior risks normalizing it, especially among young and susceptible audiences.
It is the responsibility of content creators and society in general to reject and question any form of expression that promotes inequality, violence or exploitation.
Music, as an expression of culture, has the power to influence attitudes and behaviour; Therefore, it is essential that it be used to promote positive and constructive values.
