Music Before and now

I believe that Music represents every age and its social and political life. For example, in 1970’s till 1980’s the songs are almost classic and the main theme was true love, faithfulness and fulfillment. Moreover, the main purpose of Music in that age was for the elevation of the soul and for entertainment. Video clips are rarely produced; people depend on radios to hear their favorite music. I remember that there was only one or two radio stations in each country and all the people listen to it. In addition, the songs were very preserved it doesn’t contradict with the Arab traditions and cultures that much. Parents were not afraid to let their children listen or see the Video clips. But today it is the opposite; I think it is because of globalization and the blind imitation from Arabs.
Arabs are tying to imitate the Western countries thinking that it is the best and it is more popular, but that’s wrong. For instance, Most of the stories in the video clips talks about a boy flirting a girl or the opposite. These clips pictures flirting as a positive way to get what the boy or the girl wants. Moreover, it pictures women as a tool for amusement and sex. Most of the songs today doesn’t represent the reality and the public life in the eastern countries; it always gives us a fake belief a bout life. Maybe it is because of war and the political system in the Arab world or maybe people are trying to escape from the tragedies and live in denial. But from my point of view, I think that the purpose of these Video clips and songs is the material profit and nothing else.
