Music_Today

Music Today Music through the Times Music is so much more than just a form of entertainment. For some people the music that they listen to represents who they are. Different people all have different tastes, but pretty much everyone has a favorite type of music. One of the best and worst things about music is that it is always changing. Thirty years ago upbeat and positive songs like The Jackson Five’s ABC, Bill Wither’s Lean on Me, and The Partridge Family’s I Think I Love You topped the Billboards best sellers list. These days songs are not as toned down and soft. In the past few years number one hits like Party Up by DMX, Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems by Notorious B.I.G, and Purple Pills by D12 have reached the top of the charts. These songs all feature lyrics that promote violence, sex, and drugs. They glorify activities and practices that are unhealthy, unethical, and illegal. The negative images that these songs portray have a negative affect on the people that listen to them.
