I'm so fucking tired of clicking on a song and finding out it's the fucking censored version halfway through. It genuinely pisses me off, even if the censors are well done, it still fucks up the flow of the music. Songs should never be censored regardless of the amount of swears and innuendos; they're a form of expression by artists and creators. Oh, what about the kids? Yeah fuck right off. Parent your children better. They're eventually going to learn what curses are anyways.

as long as we don’t ban the uncensored versions it’s just more choice for the people.

It should be up to the artist. If an artist wants to record and clean and an explicit version, that's cool.

But if an artist only records one (explicit) version then broadcasters and distributors should absolutely be banned from altering that song by censoring words. If they don't like it they can choose to not play it.

    Art and creativity in general is for building upon and innovating. Of course, individual agency has a very good reason to be a big thing, but most of the time artists aren't saying clean versions should go poof.
