Music Videos in Our Lives

Hey everyone,
Nowadays, no song succeeds without having a good music video. We are living in a world that is highly visually connected, and thus visuals matter in the success of any song. While we are viewing some decent, artistic and meaningful video clips, we are also subjected to a huge dose of indecent and improper videos that offend the conservative Arab societies. Many young so-called singers that are missing talent, and insisting on being in the music business, tend to make video clips that have sexual connotations that include dancing and wearing revealing clothes.
Although these video clips are subjected to great criticism, they remain to be produced and broadcasted, because they are targeting a large and critical portion of the society, which are the youth. Their aim is to affect the youth's thinking and change their interests, so that all they care about is songs and video clips and would have no political awareness, and thus could care less for their stolen land and shedded blood. They want the youth to be only concerned with videos and the latest styles and gossip and forget about the Arab's issues and cases. They are producing a generation that is careless and not ready to build their countries and defend their rights. I believe that decent music videos that meet the codes of our societies are most welcome, but we are not going to accept improper clips that are forced upon us to damage our youth.

You are absolutely right. Nowadays, all the girls and guys are concerned about the gossiping news and all these worthless issues. I hope that this situation will change and youth people will be more awar about our issues and cases.
