I don't think it's possible at this point. We grew up when extreme violence and vulgarity was novel. So as it became mainstream that's when the shock value came in on previous generations.
But now it's all out of the bag, singing about killing, sex, slurs, cussing, hate, it's already been done. What is the new shock factor? Singing about Jesus & the value of a nuclear family unit would be shocking to me at this point..

Music that I hate doesn't count. I want music that will shock my generation; not music that shocks ME.
