Dress Code Question

[Meeko]

Uummm...I had not heard of these guys so I looked on You Tube. A video called the Devil in me(or I) and one called snuff.

Without a doubt some of the most disturbing things I have seen in a very long time. And once the "music" started, I turned down the volume. The awful images were more than enough to churn my stomach.

I don't get why people have to do that kind of thing. Ripping faces off is entertainment???????

....and for a CHILD???????????? I am beyond horrified to think the child may see these images at home.

And for what it's worth, piercings and different hair colors and tattoos, etc, are becoming mainstream. So I really wouldn't make a judgement on the mom as being "different" or "odd". She's just expressing herself.

I did the same as you and looked it up... I was jaw dropped...

BUT it's just a t shirt. Wearing the shirt doesn't mean he's listening to the music or watching the videos. It's possible, but not likely.

I have a mom who loves to wear wild clothes and her hair changes color several times a month. Doesn't bother me one bit that she is expressing herself.

But the crap I saw in those videos for a few moments was really, really sick. I wish I could un-see it. I skipped through to see if they got better....nope.

Everybody has a right to like different music. I love opera and hate jazz. Many are the opposite and I can respect that.

But total depravity as "entertainment"? I cannot see the appeal.

very true...I am not saying it relates to the shirt in anyway..

I will admit that I am sure I have heard it on my music line up on my phone for my workout.

Slip Knot singing about the devil? ::

I don't think so....

I AM a HUGE Slip Knot/Stone Sour fan and as a parent would be pissed if I sent my kid in a shirt and he came home with it "censored".

If the daycare provider or center had an issue with what I put on my child, I would expect a private discussion about it verses just finagling my kids' clothing inside/out.

If none of the kids in your program can read, I wouldn't worry about it and if you are worried the child will wear any more clothing that is controversial, then take a moment to talk privately with the parent about it.

Most these kids are exposed to far more negative and "nightmare" inducing things to worry about than a tee shirt with a band logo on it.

Slipknot isn't satanic. If it's just the name or a logo, no biggie. Both of my kids had slipknot and other band shirts and wore them all time. They are one of our favorite bands, not that I'll take my kids to their concert, but we listen to their music all the time. Yes, their appearance is shocking, but they aren't on the shirt. I'd let it go.

I grew up hearing The Platters, Elvis etc because my parents loved it (OK..giving my age away!) I know most kids grow up having listened to their parents music. I would assume this child is no different.

The "Devil in I" is about each persons internal struggles to be the person they want to be and the things that drag them down. Each of us has our own devil inside.

"Snuff" Comes from a popular term Snuff the Rooster...meaning removing the rooster from the hen house. This song was written about the lead singers ex and the deterioration of their relationship.

There are much deeper and more complex descriptions but that ^^ is basically the gist of it.

Like many other hard rock or metal bands, the first impressions are satanic or demonic but like all art, it is open to interpretation and everything is usually a metaphor for something else.

On a side note, if you want to see how good of an artist the singer of Slip Knot is, check out this video: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=...7143C9381BF23F

Oh, and I very rarely watch the videos of any of the music I listen to.

I am PRE-MTV age (it premiered in my late high school years) and when videos came along, the visuals kind of ruined my ideas and impressions of the music itself.

I am like you in that I don't watch music videos and I more often than not don't even know who sang the songs..

I can certainly appreciate the fact that maybe there are hidden messages in their songs. But if watching the video....a child is not going to understand that. They are going to watch a face being ripped off.

[Meeko]

Makes me wonder what's next.......onesies with **** stars? Two year old t-shirts depicting beheadings?

I can only assume that someone will find it cute and funny.

[midaycare]

Reading this makes me realize how out of touch musically I am. Slip knot is a type of knot and clutch is a purse in my vocabulary. My favorite music comes from the singer of Owl City, but I doubt anyone would be offended by him.

I'm not bothered by many graphics etc on shirts at daycare.

However, my kids public school doesn't allow any concert type shirts, shirts with alcoholic etc advertising, etc type shirts.

They also don't allow muscle shirts, t back or sleeveless shirts, or even plain white t shirts.
