Have the days when we listened to GOOD music gone by?

I was fortunate to grow up int he years when I believe good music was at its peak. This seems like the resolution period after the climax in a movie when everything runs downhill. I don't know; I'm pretty sure my parents and their parents will say the same of their generation. But truly, the kinds of songs we play these days are quite troubling.

It's hard to find anything outside of self-glorification, money, etc. It's getting to the point were it's so cliché and  irritating. I for one have a very different sense of music. My friends have constantly told me that my music taste is weird. But now, I'm being referred to weird simply because I think the music I listen to should be edifying. Gone are the days when we heard even love songs that got one thinking about real issues of life or provided true relaxation. I don't know. I do not know where we are headed with songs that spend a good 2 minutes out of three talking about me, me, me, me,me!

It is quite unfortunate that today, even in disney and other kids shows, there's so much nonsense being perpetuated. I fear. I fear for this generation. I fear that they are growing on songs about the wrongdepiction of love and the wrong depiction of life. I fear that at the very best, they are being exposed to much more baskets than their petty shoulders can carry.

Knowledge is key, but false knowledge?


And the new cliché is 'when I been dey poor, nobody know me, Now, they want my money.' I'm guessing I've heard all the variations of that phrase right there. I don't know, I'm tired.

Someone called it entertainment. Really?
