So i'm bored and i was thinking about the differences between children , adolencents and adults. When it comes to entertainment, usually, it is easy to seperate and categorise things that , in general , would be appropriate and/or targeted to a certain demographic. This is not to say there isn't overlap of course, anyone is free to enjoy what they want, however, regardless of this, everything is aimed at certain people.
For example ,I'm sure everyone, or at least the great majority of people, could name movies target at children, adolencents and adults. Here i'll give it a shot: big hero 6, avengers ,and inglorious bastards. Again, overlap may occur. There difference in movies , are usually ( not always)the themes, and violence levels In said movies. Childrens movies will be more feel good with little violence, adolencent movies will have more action and violence but little blood/gore, while adult movies will have no limit on blood, violence and occasional nudity.
Same things could be said for books. Like , the cat in the hat for children, twilight for adolencents and fifty shades of grey for adults. Childrens books will often include pictures and use easy to understand words, adolencent books with have little or no pictures, have slightly bigger words , and be a little longer where as adult books, will often be several hundred pages long, use all kind of words and most of the time will deal with situations or subjects not usually in adolencent books, like rape for example. Remember overlap.
I could even do the same for t.v shows. Once again, Jonny test,pretty little liars, house of cards for children,adolencents and adults respectively. I think you guys get the point i'm trying to make.
All of that being said. I stuggle to find what could be considered " adult" music . Children music is easy. Fun happy-go-lucky songs aimed at children either for learning or having fun. Adolencent music , personally, i would consider most of what we hear on the radio, regardless of genre. The themes for these songs vary greatly, but include , love, romance, death, tragedy, sex, violence, joy, sadness ,etc... Basically, the problem is, songs that are targeted to adolencents include themes that in other forms of entertainment would be considered "adult". And i have a lot of trouble thinking of what would be an adult genre, or adult music.

R: i am able to identify childrens adolencent and adults entertainment in every medium, except music. What would be considered adult music in your opinion?
Disclaimer: yeah i know as an adult you can like whatever you want, and i'm not here to dispute that fact. However, the entertainement industry usually targets a specific demographic even though there is overlap. I'm just curious as to what music is aimed at adults as opposed to adolencents.
