Elders of now appear so sad whilst youths play music from distinct gadgets ranging from handsets to iPods. Why?
Music, for ages, has been a supply of expression. Victor Hugo stated "music expresses that which can't be place into words and that which can not stay silent". Irrespective of one's gender, age, race, tribe or language, a composition of sonorous tunes in no way ceases to be felt; it's the excellent leveler, the universal language of mankind. It really is one thing that folks with numerous variations agree on. Music has often been a matter of power, a query of irrupt strength. Ranging from the gospel genre to rap, the energy of music can't be more than-emphasized.
"Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death is a tone unsaid."- Langston Hughes
Langston Hughes if alive currently, would undoubtedly weep for the music globe. The industrial worth of music has overshadowed its entertainment worth. It appears so straightforward to sing right now, so quick that each and every Tom, Dick and Harry has labeled himself/herself a DJ Artiste, rapper or what ever title they deem match.
Hughes defined music as life, although currently it is death. The 'leaders in the making' who must have the greatest influence about them due to the complexity in their socialization, are becoming misled and morally deformed, no thanks to the music market. A close seem at the Nigerian music sector would very easily show this reality. The mad rush for glory has led several 'artistes' to say what ever rubbish pops in their head in the studio not minding the moral implication.
Pornography is regarded as social indecency in most societies, but, there is an age limit to these who have access to pornographic photographs and clips. Music has no limit, each the old and young dance to its flirtatious tunes.
In Nigeria right now, any kid who knows how to speak sings songs around flirting and drinking. Funny names for songs is the trending style, Visualize a title like 'Whiskey', 'your waist', 'ginger' and a host of other titles which show how proud the artistes are of their destructive jobs. Nigerian music has no requirements any longer, attempt to download a song from any of the trending web pages and you are going to be amazed at the quantity of offensive words made use of. Be it Olamide, Wizkid, MI, IcePrince or what ever significant name, there is no distinction. I was passing by a street the other day though I saw a bunch of little ones listening to "Olamide's Durosoke" from their mp3 player, paying rapt consideration to the lyrics.
Only a handful of artistes sing decent songs (gospel singers exclusive). Even if you claim that the youngsters never have an understanding of the lyrics, would their eyes deceive them? What explanation do you give these innocent ones while a lady smooches a guy in the bathroom, automobile or wherever the videos get shot? Artistes travel as far as South Africa just to get sex-hawkers who claim to be dancers. Obtaining escapades in videos look to be the promoting point. Download a music video and you would not have to watch critically ahead of you see components of pornography. The licentiousness of people today in the music business is alarming, they do not give a damn around who watches the videos or around the harm the videos bring about. Lots of youths nowadays have been entrapped in the planet of moral decadence and artistic moral declination by means of indiscriminate access to download web sites. Lots of parents have restricted their wards access to Television/world-wide-web just to assistance shape their little ones's mentality.
Think it or not, the music market is just a bunch of licentious greedy human beings who are on the verge of altering the course of music.
