Music Videos

For it seems to me Music is something that you listen to and this hearing stimuli our feelings and imagination; however, with the rising revolution of television Music became more of a visual communication means. When watching music videos one will notice that in most cases that the music aspect became secondary and the performance is the focal point. Music doesn’t have to be well played, the music industry doesn’t necessarily require singers to have a strong and powerful voice all you need is the looks, body and dare to expose your self as an object, a good if you might say so. Now one might assume that the target audiences for those music videos are the teenagers and young adults so the influence and effect will be mainly on this specific group but that is not the case.
If we take teenagers and young adults for example, they see those singers if we aught to call them that and they portray them as idols and role models. Imagine an entire generation having people like Christina, Britney, Haifa wahbi and jad shoairee. With almost no clothes on and provocative lyrics and outrageous behavior they brainwash our youth. Teenagers don’t want to only dress like them, talk like them, act like them they want to be them. This idolization can reach to extreme danger on the young generation where girls look at the bodies of those singers and construct this goal to have the same body and this leads in a lot of cases to anorexia and bulimia.
If we take adults, men for example start to fantasize about those unnatural plastic women that they see on those music videos some even reach to the point of forcing their wives to not only act and dress the same but to also physically transform with surgery to look slightly identical to those singers.
I believe the music industry brainwashes the society and lead it to hit rock bottom and to me there isn’t much of a difference between international and national for they have became almost the same. At least you don’t have to live with the idea that some of those national singers are Muslims and are representing Muslims in an outrageous repulsive manner.
