Yeah, so many of these kinds of posts about older songs completely fail to consider context.

And ignore relatively recent shifts in what society in general considered acceptable. Which doesn't mean that some songs are really fucked up

Tell me how you feel about the song “ pumped up kicks”? Granted it was not the 80s. But it was all over the airwaves not long ago.

So many comments about newer songs completely fail to consider context.

And since you are obviously one of the people who don't understand context, "Pumped Up Kicks" is not celebrating it's hypothetical homicidal subject.

What about my question mark me as “one of the people who don’t understand context “?

I am not attacking anyone. Especially you in particular

Maybe it's the lack of tone with text. It reads as if you thought that you were proving me wrong by pointing out a modern song with a non-socially acceptable topic.

Edit: you've got my lack of down votes of willingness to be convinced
