I remember when I was younger, and music used to be so...clean. At that point in my life, I knew music was wrong and declared haraam in my religion, but I was too young to make decisions for myself and my family still heard it. As I grew older, I became more and more involved into music...it was like an ecape from everything. And the lyrics just touched me. The way it was presented, sung, everything.
I wasn't really a religious kid, and it was okay with me. Specially since I grew up in the west, I was surrounded by people who never really considered it wrong.
And I can't really blame myself. Music then actually had some class. Not that it made it any less haraam, it's just...atleast it made sense. Today, in the era of rap and punk and God knows what, it barely is music. It's trance. It's dance. It's just, horrific. I amn't denying there are some good artists still present some good music, with PROPER lyrics, not just about sex and cars and money and fame. But VALUES. But really, there are VERY little of them. It's all about "shawty looks so sexy on the dance floor that I wanna smack her" and all I'm thinking is..what the HECK?
I mean, seriously...and people enjoy it? Do I have ot smack them in the head and yell at them what is wrong with you?! Honestly, I would if I could. And we've all become slaves to it. Like we can't sit in a car ride or sit through a party without having some loud, lyricless, full of I still have no idea WHAT music. It's sad. And what's sadder is that we don't even think or reflect on what is wrong.
