Censorship of all kinds has existed since recorded history, whether in literature, speech, music, or visual entertainment. Censorship arises from the fear that ideas will spread that are contrary to what is established as "correct", "moral", "normal" or "suitable"; essentially, censorship arises from fear of change. For change to progress, or even exist, “the norm” must be questioned, and the most capable of grasping and embracing change are the young people of a society. Young adults (of this century and especially of the 20th century) use music to express themselves, distinguish themselves from their parents, and convey new ideas. Music can help create new movements, a new “norm,” provide a voice to those who feel they cannot otherwise be heard, and give an identity to those who feel they have none. Music can change things, it scares people, but it shouldn't receive censorship because of the change it can create. Starting in the early 20th century, the new form of music called "jazz" was quickly adopted by the youth of the time, and was also quickly hit by censorship, due to the style itself and what it entailed in terms of social attachment . "Jazz was different because it broke the rules: musical and social. It featured improvisation over traditional structure, performer over composer, and black American experience over conventional white sensibilities." (pbs.org “The Devil’s Music: 20s Jazz.”) The fact that jazz, being associated with the predominantly African-American artists of the genre, faced an additional form of censorship: racial discrimination. Jazz was quickly labeled "the devil's music" and was rejected by numerous venues, radio stations and parents who believed that jazz... medium of paper... was used for self-expression. Censoring music means stifling the ideas and expression of young people, which stifles revolutions and individuality, which is what those in power want (maintain order and whatnot). Media censorship can only be stopped when tolerance is fully achieved, and this will be impossible for some time to come. One possible solution to censorship and stifling of music artists might just be: more effective ways to warn the buyer about what a particular album may contain, such as with the parental warning symbol. A nationwide law against discrimination against albums with a warning label would need to be put in place, otherwise the cycle of less censorship but less sales would continue. When effective warnings for buyers/parents and anti-discrimination laws are in place, censorship of musicians can almost completely cease.
