To be fair, yeah … it really does. And it’s not just limited to conservatives.

My girlfriend and her whole family were listening (and singing along with!) “Pumped Up Kicks” and they were still shocked when I pointed out to them that it’s a song about doing a school shooting.

There are a lot of people out there who really do just turn their brains completely off when listening to music.

(I don’t know how to do that. Which is probably why I greatly prefer music without lyrics, or music in a foreign language I don’t understand.)
