First of all, No one will probably argue with me when I speak of the
Sixties as a revolutionary period in popular music, the Beatles, Elvis,
remember guys? The decade brought
in a virtually new type of music, and with it, a new type of mentality. Today’s music contents are either about
sex, drugs, or violences. Modern
music have harmful effecst on young children and teens. One of the harmful
effects is causing young people to absorb and act out the lyrics. These lyrics
can be about violence, sex, drug and alcohol addiction. Plus modern music can
persuade young adults to commit violent crimes, through lyrics for
example. It can also alter their
perspective on the world.
This song is a example of the music with full sexual content. My favorite part was from 0:18 to 0:21. Are you serious? This song encourage teenagers and adolescent girls to have wild sex. This is really sicken me!
Harmful music can also inspire young people to commit
crimes and acts of extreme violence. Some popular music, especially heavy metal
and rap music glorify violence. Through reoccurrence this harmful music can
drive their messages home by repeating the same themes of murder, guns, cruelty
and savagery.
And this music video is one example of music that encourage violent and gangs. It is difficult to deny that music has become more
aggressive and edgy over the decades.
And the last but not least, Music that are just plainly crap. Watch the viral video bellow and we'll see.
This song's lyric is just plainly bad, and this is pretty much one of the best example of today Pop music, repeating lyrics, and crappy content.
And finally, I fully agree that mainstream radio and mass-media are to
be blamed heavily for the
current situation. They do nothing
to improve it, only worsen it by convincing poor people that the crap they send
on the radio is real art. What artist today
writes good music not just ass shaking music, Very few The Beatles had 20
number ones's and at the time they where competing with literally legendary
bands. Music today is mostly soulless ass shaking....sad. I don't mind fun
bubble gum music occasionally. I just wish it wasn't the only thing I was being
fed currently.
This topic is something I think about all the time. What ever happened to good music? They just don’t make things like they use to. I will agree this generation of music sucks! Somebody in my class did a research project on the effects of Hip Hop music. I will have to agree on one thing he did say. It all depends on the person and their foundation, what their morals are. Just because you listen to the music doesn't mean you have to go out and reenact those things. Its ok to listen, but know better not do it. Then again, at the same time it is different for children. Little kids are impressionable. I find it very disturbing when I see little 5 year old girls winding their hips in a sexual manner. Singing sex crazed songs; like Rihanna's Rude boy. Everything is not for everybody, and certain music is not for younger listeners!
