In the book, ‘It’s Not Only Rock & Roll’, the author claim that music provides teens with a firm cultural identity. To a large extent, it also defines the way they act, dress and speak. We have famous music artists icons influencing teens and youths lifestyle; though often not in a positive way.
I watched a musical video; DeBarge - Rhythm of the Night (1985) where everybody was conservatively garbed.
However, in present times, a large percentage of the musical videos broadcast on our daily television, the ladies are all but completely nude; while the men have their trousers half way down their asses.
And worse of, international companies as well as the government, endorse this people, rewarding them for their meaningless lyrics and partially clothed bodies.
Unsurprisingly, teenagers and youths observe the behaviours as morally acceptable; as role models to emulate.
And then we ask ourselves where moral decadence of the society springs forth?
If our society praise and see this artists as upstanding individuals, then I see no need for anyone to get judgemental about the near nakedness we see on the streets donned on by our teenagers and youths alike.
You desire a positive modification, change who you depict to the society as positive role models.
