Times have changed, that's for sure. There are still huge, successful rock acts that are known to have engaged in that. I'm not excusing any of it but it was normalized, and to a degree we overlook it with varying levels of cognitive dissonance. My 16 year old prom date in 1990 went with me as friends because her boyfriend was 29 with the full blessing of her parents. Child porn wasn't illegal until 5 years after I was born.

But also I look back on those times and see so many girls with what today would be clearly seen as signs of abuse (including my prom date). It was always wrong. It was always harmful.

That's absolutely bizarre.

Also, there's a lot of lyrics in older rock music that haven't aged well, to say the least. Kinda disappointing actually.
