Maybe what would make more sense is if the original question is not about inappropriate lyrics at all. It's whether one should listen to artificially created sounds that imitate human voice. Who knows how it messes with your brain.

The thing is, the sounds are not completely artificial. They're recorded from human vocalists. They're just reconstituted into whatever lyrics you want them to sing. So I think it's OK so long as the tuning is done right so that they sound reasonably natural.

I mean like I got my son to listen to a Sekai no Owari song to see if he'd heard it, and he thought it was the Vocaloid Fukase. Plus my wife could not distinguish between Cantarella sung by Kaito and sung by Fuuga.

Actually, thinking about it again, maybe that shows how it does mess with your brain. If people confuse VR with RL then ... maybe Vocaloid really is inappropriate.
