There is content I would happily ban, and not give a rats ass about what HN thinks about my ban (HN is not invited into my parenting relationship, for both obvious reasons and ones less obvious [1]), but it's not the "music" that would freak me out. Take that same text and set it to Beethoven's 5th, and it would be banned. Take different text and set it to the same "music" and it would not "freak me out". I'd very strongly dislike it, but that's not the same thing. (I think "freak out" involves some virtue signaling against the music, and some conflation of the morality of certain styles of music. I have a hard time believing in the "immorality" of a style of music. Content, no question, but not style.)
(I rather expect to "strongly dislike" what my oldest son ends up discovering and settling on as his favorite music. I expect he's going to discover "trance" one day and just adore it. To me it's almost the opposite of what I'm looking for in music. But other than insisting that I don't have to hear it, I've got no plans to cut it off for musical reasons. In fact... sigh... it's likely to be me who introduces it to him as something he may like.)
[1]: I will say having watched our culture evolve over the past ~30 years, I've come to a greater understanding of the importance of watching what you take in, and I try to feed things to my kids that aren't junk. There's a lot of analogy to the way we are currently collectively groping towards a realization that social media patterns aren't neutral. But what the HN gestalt labels junk and what I label junk are going to be very, very different things.
(And before someone jumps down my throat about even that, bear in mind that A: I'm not completely controlling everything; that doesn't scale because they need to learn to deal with this on their own and B: they have repeatedly told me that I do indeed bring the good stuff; I don't keep this policy a secret from them, and they aren't pushing back against it either, because I deliver.)
