They make explicit music videos to sell fake lives and negativity. Then a lot of people believe what they see and hear about their favourite musicians and they start imitating their behavioral systems. Nowadays some music has no meaning at all, as some musicians just mumble their lyrics, don't really care about their audiences and the message they want to portray to the world. Certain musicians care about how much they getting from their music, their individual accomplishments in terms of accolades and don't really care about the effect of their music to the world.

The truth is there are less good musicians nowadays that actually sing about peace, love, respect and tolerance. Even if there is but they're not getting the right exposure in media. Many people are glued to music that doesn't have messages that people can learn and reflect it on their lives. Musicians have the power to break or build human beings depending on their content within the songs. It's vital that musicians know the power they have over the world and they need utilize it properly. We need more real musicians, with their unique stories told through music and musicians that don't allow fame get the better of them. Musicians that actually tackle issues that we facing in the world are truly scarce.
