Music and TRP?

I've noticed a trend in regards to recent music. Now there are exceptions to the rule (notably in rap), but if you pay attention to lyrics which feature female vocalists, then juxtapose them with male lyrics you'll notice a striking pattern. Songs which feature men display signs of longing, desire, need, and want to obtain a woman. While some suggest lust, many suggest themes with a more neutral or emotional tone. Now look at songs by female artists. (A good primer would be the billboard top 100.) Female artists will sing of empowerment; their songs will contain themes of feminism (Katy Petty, et al.), themes of ex boyfriends and how they're going to party and fuck until they forget about it (see: Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Rhianna, et al.), alcohol abuse and drug abuse (Ke$ha), and vanity. Songs featuring male artists could never sing of such topics equally. And you can see what happens when it is even vaguely tried. Everyone is aware of the mass outrage from Robin Thicke's song Blurred Lines, an outrage all because of the words

he was close, tried to domesticate you. But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature .Just let me liberate you

Lyrics which are fairly anodyne for radio standards today.

Women who listen to billboard topping songs will indeed emulate what they hear. It is a supreme logical contradiction to listen to and enjoy music, and not like what is espoused within. It would be akin to a white supremacist listening to rap. Radio music is instructive, it contains no artistic merit and is devoid from any sort of depth. The music is didactic, meaning it exists as a manual to promulgate itself. Go to the club, get drunk, fuck, spend money, and^buy^my^records

I've found that modern music is filled with encouraging lyrics about partying, being in dependant/destructive relationships and about how inferior and helpless you are. It's also a kind of escapism by releasing tons of dopamines which sux because I'm a strong believer that you have to feel the burn in order to be motivated to escape it.

Edit: But I'm sure the right music at the right time can be developing and productive.

Yes. Most music is completely beta bullshit.

Listen to for example "Holy Grail" or an earlier song like "Grenade".

All about the willigness of the male singer to be used as a doormat.

There are some exceptions however, for example I remember the song "Way I Are" was all about how it was the dudes character and not money that counts.

I llike hiphop but I often find myself listening to instrumentals instead of some moronic lyrics which I cannot bring myself idolize and I do not like to sing/listen/lipsync lyrics that are against my fundamental values.

I do not think its healthy to either.
