In today's society, most Americans listen to music every single day. In fact, according to an unknown study, approximately 87% of the US population listens to music every single day.

This ruling was very smart because now we have all our new rules in place to help keep explicit music out of the ears of younger children until they themselves become old enough to make the decision to choose to appreciate the art in its wider shape. even the new form.
