'Time After Time' sensation Cyndi Lauper has admitted that she thinks modern music is too concerned with sex and can have an "aggressive" effect on some listeners.

She explained to London's Metro newspaper that a fan got her thinking about this idea during a recent concert and now she can't seem to get away from it:

"One young woman walked up to me recently at a concert and thanked me for my work 'in the midst of all this rape music'. I never thought of it like that, but so much music nowadays is about sex, sex, sex and is quite aggressive. She called it rape music. I thought, 'Oh my God, I guess she's right'."

She then added that when writing her own songs she tries to do so for people who will take her lyrics on board and to heart: "I just try to write music that connects with people's conscience and make music for awake people rather than sleepwalkers."
