Today's music

Music today has changed a lot in recent years. For example the audience for music has changed dramatically and also don’t forget how much the topic of the songs have changed. There are so many songs in today’s society have become more and more about sex and drugs and partying. They don’t care about who hears it. For example they play these songs on the radio without caring who hears or listens to that radio station.

Music today has become a lot more sexist. (http://cupoequality.blogspot.com/2015/11/obsessive-themes-in-jealous-nick-jonas.html) This blog post by Rachel Maly about the song Jealous by Nick Jonas is a great example of this. Today when people write songs it isn’t to express feelings as much anymore it’s just to get their song on the top charts to get more people to listen to it to get more money.

If some singers and song writers actually thought about who and why they are writing the song or singing it songs today might be a little different. If there is no reason or story behind the song then there is no reason to really sing it, is there? It just becomes a waste of time.


Maybe if they took time to think about what they are writing or even just what the words mean today's songs would be more appropriate and okay for little children who listen to the radio with their parents. Even little children who can’t yet understand what the words or songs mean still isn’t a good idea to have them hear it.
